We’ve all been there: a hot summer day, the refreshing water calling, a dip in the cool water, and suddenly the thought: What’s actually happening with my valuables right now? Are they still lying unattended on my towel?
In this very funny, ironic blog post, you’ll learn why a hidden zippered pocket on your towel not only puts your unfounded worries about losing your valuables to rest, but also saves you from another annoying (yet beloved) vacation companion.
The idea behind the zippered pocket on the beach towel
Cell phone, cash, keys, wallet, and headphones—even on vacation, there are hardly any days left when you head to the beach without any valuables. Why would you spend a day with a book and, for once, without your cell phone, when you can constantly expose yourself to a voluntary endorphin rush via push notifications from your mobile best friend?
Exactly, it doesn’t make any sense, but we’re doing it anyway and taking our beloved new iPhone 32 Giga Pro X to the beach.
And then, after a full 35 minutes on Tinder, Bumble, and Spiegel Online, the moment has arrived—you want to show the other beachgoers the dive you’ve been perfecting for decades, and just as you’re about to take the plunge, you suddenly think: What about my valuables? How can I actually enjoy what has been such a relaxed day of travel—and especially the time in the water—if I have to constantly keep an eye on the towel I left behind?
For most headfirst divers, valuables are simply left lying on the beach towel. After all, you can’t hide them in the sand underneath—a sand-covered iPhone 32 Giga Pro X with sand-covered AirPods 27 Pro (yuck, sand in your ears) is hardly any better than stolen electronics.
And unless you happen to be out and about with Usain Bolt—or are Usain Bolt yourself (so you can catch up to the thief, Sherlock!)—all you can do is hope your belongings are still there when you get back to your spot.
And so, the folks at WOODSANDWAVES were out on one of their many adventure trips with a towel created by their own brand when suddenly the brilliant idea struck: the hidden beach towel zipper pocket.
The (insurmountable) travel towel zipper pocket
Of course, we know that a hidden zippered pocket isn’t impenetrable. If the thief is not only clever but also truly determined on the big global theft day, they could still snatch the entire towel and run off. Maybe they secretly find the colorful designs of WOODSANDWAVES towels more interesting than your old Nokia 3310 anyway, but we still thought: Why not raise the bar a bit and make life just a little harder for potential thieves? After all, at least it won’t be your belongings that are the easiest to steal. Maybe the thief will give up on you and your beach towel (despite all the preparation for the big global theft day).
And even if you don’t buy that argument, we’ll at least claim that the secret pocket on the towel reduces your stress level a bit, so hopefully next time you’ll be splashing around completely relaxed, since there aren’t any thieves on the beach anyway 😉
At the end of the day, our goal is to make your trip to the beach a little more carefree. We’re sure to succeed, because the newly developed zippered pocket on the towel is, of course, not the only benefit we’ve thought of for the WOODSANDWAVES travel towels.
It was, so to speak, just a tiny bit of further refinement to the product. To be honest, in the final step, we didn’t do much more than further develop our travel towel right there on the beach (uh... stand) where it was already. So don’t worry, it’ll get just a little bit better.
The travel towels from WOODSANDWAVES are still small, compact, and lightweight, even with a zipper and extra pocket. No bulky beach towel that takes up all the space in your suitcase! They dry faster than you can say “heatstroke” and come in a colorful—and even more colorful—selection of designs, so there’s something for everyone, even those with bad taste.
And as if that weren’t enough, our towels are also sand-repellent. That’s right, you read that correctly—no more annoying sand scraping after sunbathing! No more sand getting into those hard-to-reach crevices where you don’t want it (like between your phone case and your phone😉).
And that’s really the main advantage of the towel we mentioned above. Your valuables won’t get lost in the sand anymore—the worst offenders (trust us, we know!) are headphones, which you probably don’t bring to the beach anyway because of your digital detox, but if you do, they’ll just get lost in the sand, and that’s annoying.
And now that you know all the benefits of WOODSANDWAVES travel towels, you’re probably wondering how you ever managed to enjoy your days at the beach without them? The answer is simple: You didn’t really enjoy them—you were just pretending to. But don’t worry—starting the day after tomorrow, when you hold your new, colorful towel in your hands (warning: it’s very, very light!), life at the beach will be worlds better, deeply more relaxing, and sand-free!
So, what are you waiting for? Embark on your next Mission Impossible beach vacation, make life a little harder for pickpockets, and relax so deeply on the beach that even Tom Cruise would be jealous of what you’re up to. But you don’t care—the day after tomorrow, you’ll be playing the lead role in your own laid-back summer blockbuster on the beach. Because once you’ve bought that towel, who can stop you? No one, I’d almost say—except maybe the thought that you forgot to put on sunscreen. But hey, that’s another story.
