Bathrobes are more than just a piece of loungewear: they are synonymous with comfort and relaxation. With a multitude of materials and styles to choose from, it can be difficult to choose the perfect one. This guide will help you select the bathrobe that perfectly meets your needs.
The different types of bathrobes for women
Terry bathrobe
The terry bathrobe is renowned for its exceptional absorbency, ideal for drying off quickly after a bath or shower. Made from terry cotton, it offers incomparable softness and comfort. For example, the Ella soft cotton bathrobe from Carré Blanc, with a weight of 380 g/m², combines extreme comfort and softness with very high absorbency.
Honeycomb bathrobe
Lightweight and elegant, the honeycomb bathrobe is perfect for warmer seasons. Its waffle texture allows good air circulation, providing a feeling of freshness while remaining absorbent. This type of bathrobe is also appreciated for its refined aesthetic appearance.
Satin or silk bathrobe
For a touch of glamour, satin or silk bathrobes are ideal. They are lightweight, soft and give a luxurious feel. However, they are less absorbent and are better suited as dressing gowns for relaxing moments.
How to choose the ideal bathrobe?
The matter
The choice of material is essential. Cotton is recommended for its absorbency and softness, ideal for daily use after bathing. Satin and silk are preferable for moments of relaxation, bringing a feeling of luxury and elegance.
The grammage
The weight determines the thickness and absorbency of the bathrobe. A weight between 380 g/m² and 550 g/m² is ideal for a terry bathrobe, offering a balance between comfort and absorption efficiency. For example, the Bonsoirs cotton bathrobe has a weight of 550 g/m², guaranteeing exceptional softness thanks to its long cotton loops.
Size and length
It is essential to choose the right size and length for your needs. A long bathrobe provides optimal coverage and is ideal for winter, while a shorter model offers greater freedom of movement, perfect for warmer seasons or everyday use.
Details and finishes
Small details make all the difference. Opt for bathrobes with a hood for added comfort, pockets for practicality, and an adjustable belt for optimal support. Embroidery or lace finishes add an extra touch of elegance.
Frequently Asked Questions About Women's Bathrobes
How to care for your cotton bathrobe?
Machine wash your bathrobe at 40°C with a mild detergent to preserve the quality of the cotton. Avoid fabric softeners as they can reduce the absorbency of the fabric. Tumble drying on a low temperature is ideal to maintain its softness.
What is the difference between a terry and honeycomb bathrobe?
The terry bathrobe is thicker and offers great absorbency, while the honeycomb model is lighter and ideal for warm climates or as loungewear.

Cotton is the go-to material for bathrobes, and for good reason:
- Comfort and softness: Cotton, particularly combed or organic cotton, offers incomparable softness.
- Absorption: With natural fibers, it dries your skin quickly after a bath or shower.
- Durability: Resistant to wear and tear, a cotton bathrobe remains like new even after numerous washes.
Our advice for choosing and wearing your bathrobe
1. Wear it as soon as possible: A good bathrobe should be used often to enjoy its comfort. After a bath, a shower or for a moment of relaxation, it will be your ally.
2. Maintain it regularly: Proper washing will extend the life of your bathrobe while maintaining its softness and absorbency.
3. Vary the styles: Have several bathrobes adapted to your needs: one for winter, a lighter one for summer, and why not an elegant satin model for special moments.
