Blue, grey, green or a cheerful print with zebras or polar bears: at Tiny Giggles you'll find bath essentials for boys in colours and motifs that suit your son. Think of hooded towels for after the first bath, bath ponchos for toddlers who want to get back to playing straight away and hooded bathrobes for preschoolers.

Hooded towels: from newborn to 3 years
A hooded towel is large and square, with a hood in one corner. You lay your son on it, fold the hood over his head and wrap the rest around him. The Meyco hooded towels are extra long, so you can easily fold them back and your baby isn't left bare. The Pippi hooded towels of 83 x 83 cm have ears on the hood and a neck loop for hanging; they're made of organic cotton and Oeko-Tex 100 certified. The Babyono hooded towels come in 76 x 76 and 100 x 100 cm and are 70% bamboo, which according to Babyono absorbs 60% more moisture than cotton. All models are also under baby hooded towels.
Bath ponchos: for active toddlers
As soon as your son no longer wants to lie still, a poncho is handy. You pull it over his head in one go, and he can walk around straight away. The Jollein bath ponchos (1 to 4 years) are made of soft terry with a striped pattern; the Stripe Terry is GOTS certified. The Meyco basic bath poncho (1 to 3 years) dries quickly and can go in the dryer on low heat. The nuuroo Adelin bath poncho in organic cotton has ears on the hood. More models are under bath ponchos.
Bathrobes: just like dad
For preschoolers a hooded bathrobe is lovely after a shower or swim. The Meyco basic bathrobe in 100% cotton has a hood, front pockets and a tie cord. The Jollein bathrobe has a hood with ears and comes in 1-2 and 3-4 years. The Pippi bathrobe in organic cotton (size 86/92) has an embroidered animal motif and a belt your child can easily open and close himself. See them all under bathrobes.
Which size do you choose?
- Hooded towel: 76 x 76 or 80 x 80 cm for a newborn; 90 x 90 to 100 x 100 cm lasts until about 3 years.
- Bath poncho: most are suitable from 1 to 3 or 4 years.
- Bathrobe: choose by age or size, such as 1-2 years, 3-4 years or size 86/92.
Torn between two sizes? Take the larger one; a bathrobe or poncho can be a little roomy.
A calm bath routine
For many boys bath time is a fixed moment of the day. Lay everything out before you start: the hooded towel or bathrobe, a clean nappy and pyjamas. Never leave your child alone in the bath, not even for a moment. After the bath, wrap him up straight away so he doesn't cool down, and dry well between the skin folds. A fixed order, such as bath, pyjamas, book and bed, helps many children wind down.
Bath essentials for boys at swimming lessons
Is your son going to baby swimming or swimming lessons? Then a bath poncho or bathrobe is ideal in the changing room: he stays warm while you pack the bag. For the beach, a light muslin hooded towel is nice, as it dries quickly and takes up little space.
Washing and care
Follow the care label. BimbiDreams, Jollein hooded towels and the Meyco 2-layer hooded towel are washed at 30°C; most bathrobes, ponchos and the Pippi and Meyco muslin hooded towels at 40°C. Don't use too much detergent and skip fabric softener, so the fabric keeps absorbing moisture well.
A lovely gift for a boy
A hooded towel or bathrobe is a practical baby gift that's used every day. Choose a hooded towel for a newborn, or a poncho or bathrobe for a toddler. Complete it with washcloths. More ideas are under gifts for boys and gift boxes for boys.
