Bath Robes and Shower Shoes
Bath Robes and shower shoes are two things that every college freshman will need. If your child has never used a robe then it will be a new realm. Before my freshman year in college, I do not own a robe. My mom, being the wise woman that she is, got me a robe anyway. And I have to say that it was definitely used daily - along with shower shoes. The dorm that I lived in had community showers. It is so much easier to use a robe to get to and from the shower instead of hauling a change of clothes both directions. A robe is also good for heading to the dining hall - be it for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Since you will be using your bathrobe everyday, you need to get one that will hold up to the job. Christy Waffle Robes are a good basic robe that works marvelously. It is 100% cotton and durable. Karen Luu Minke Robes are THE luxureous robe choice. Once you feel of the material used, you will never go back to a terry cloth robe. They are available in a wide range of colors and styles so it will be easy to find one that matches your personality. It is a robe that will take you through all of your college days and beyond.
Shower shoes are easy - go to a box-store and get a pair of $5 flip flops. They work perfect for the job and then you can throw them out when the year is done. Bath robes and shower shoes: don’t leave home without them. And trust me, they will become your favorite outfit before long.
