Abstract

A towel and system for connecting one or more towels in a seamless manner (also referred to herein as “a connecting towel”). The connecting towel may comprise zippers, fasteners, buttons, snaps, strips as part of a towel strip formed on one or more sides of the towel. In at least one embodiment, there is one strip on each parallel side of the towel. When being used, all sides can be connected with a towel strip of another towel thereby forming a larger towel. In theory, there is no limit on the number of towels that can be connected (i.e., the towel and system disclosed herein can form an endless towel). The disclosed towel (also referred to as a “ConnecTowel”) has the advantages of simple design, low cost and strong practicality.
