A towel wrap is formed with a main towel drying section with two towel tie extensions extending outwardly from the upper corners of the towel section. Once the towel wrap is wrapped around and encircled about the user's body, the tie extensions are inserted into cutout openings through the towel section and then tied together to retain the towel wrap on the user.

Description

BACKGROUND THE INVENTION[0001]After using a large beach type towel to dry off, upon exiting from bath, shower, pool, or other water related activity, the user will often wrap that towel around his or her body. Retaining such towels around the user's body is generally accomplished by the haphazard tucking of the upper edges or corners of the towel under the upper portion of the towel. This means of retaining a wrapped towel tends to be temporary, in that the towel must continually be adjusted and, in fact, there is never any assurance that the towel will even stay on the user's body. When a towel is wrapped and retained in this fashion, it is subject to easily slipping or even falling.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0002]It is the object of the present invention to overcome the disadvantages and limitations of prior towel wraps.[0003]It is an object of the present invention to provide a towel wrap which can easily be wrapped, encircled, and secured for retention around an individual's body....
