Pack the Figo baby towel for drying after a swim and a 6-pack of Figo cloths for faces, hands and diaper changes. Here's how to decide which goes in the beach bag.
Quick answer
Pack both: the Figo baby towel is the one item that wraps and dries your baby after a swim, while the 6-pack of Figo cloths handles faces, hands, burping and diaper changes. If you can only take one, take the towel for a water-focused trip and the cloths for a dry, sandy playday.
Why one towel and one cloth pack do different jobs
A beach bag for a baby fills up fast, so it helps to separate drying from wiping. The Figo baby towel is woven in heavy organic terry cotton, which gives it the bulk to wrap a wet baby and rub them dry after a splash. The Figo cloths are soft terry squares sized for smaller jobs: a face, a burp, a diaper change or a quick hand wipe.
That division matters at the shore because a wet, sandy towel is a poor tool for cleaning a face, and a small cloth is a poor tool for drying a whole baby. Treat them as a pair rather than as substitutes.
The trade-off: bulk versus coverage
The towel earns its space when your baby will actually go in the water or get soaked. Its heavier terry weave is what makes the post-bath or post-swim wrap work, but that same weight makes it the bulkier item in the bag.
The 6-pack is the lighter, more flexible option. Six cloths let you keep a clean one for the face and a separate one for diaper changes, and you can leave the damp ones in a wet bag without losing your only drying layer. The catch is that a small cloth will not wrap a chilly baby on its own.
When the cloths alone are enough
If your beach day is mostly sitting on a blanket, digging in sand and walking the shoreline, you may not need the full towel. A cloth or two handles sandy hands and a post-snack face, and the rest of the pack covers diaper changes and burping. This is also the lighter choice when you are carrying the bag yourself and want to keep it small.
Decision rules for packing the beach bag
- If your baby will go in the water: Pack the Figo baby towel as the drying layer and add two or three Figo cloths for the face and diaper changes. The towel handles the full-body wrap; the cloths handle the small cleanups. A wet baby needs the towel first; cloths are the backup, not the substitute.
- If the day is dry play only: Take the 6-pack of Figo cloths and leave the towel at home or in the car. Use one cloth for sandy hands, one for the face and the rest for diaper changes. Dry sand days favor the lighter cloth pack.
- If bag space is tight: Choose the towel when water play is likely and the cloth pack when it is not. Do not try to replace the towel with several cloths, because small squares will not wrap a chilly baby. Decide by water exposure, not by how many cloths fit.
- If you are unsure about size: Both products come in size options, so check the size selector before ordering rather than assuming one size covers newborn through toddler. Confirm the size option for your baby's age before you pack.
