Let’s start with a truth nobody likes to admit:

Regular towels are terrible at their job in bed.

They look innocent. They also feel prepared. And they give you false confidence. And then the moment things get even slightly enthusiastic, they soak through, slide around, and turn your “romantic evening” into a full sheet-washing event.

If you’ve ever thought, “We’ll just throw a towel down,” congratulations  you’ve already made at least one of these mistakes.

Here are the 5 biggest towel mistakes people make… and the much better way to do it using waterproof towels actually designed for intimacy, like POUND PAD LITE by Home in Bold.

Mistake #1: Assuming Any Towel Is “Good Enough”

A normal bath towel is designed for… water. On your body. After a shower.

It is not designed for:

• Repeated moisture
  
• Movement
  
• Staying in place
  
• Or protecting anything underneath it
  

What actually works better:

• POUND PAD LITE uses a multi-layer design:
  
  • Soft, plush surface on top
    
  • Hidden waterproof barrier inside
    
• It absorbs fast and blocks moisture completely
  
• Your sheets stay dry. Every time.
  

Mistake #2: Using Towels That Soak Through

Regular towels don’t stop liquid. They store it temporarily and then pass it directly to your mattress like a very polite betrayal.

What actually works better:

• POUND PAD LITE is a waterproof towel for intimacy
  
• It absorbs on top and does not leak underneath
  
• It’s built to handle more than “oops”
  

That hidden waterproof layer is the difference between confidence and doing laundry at midnight.

Mistake #3: Using Towels That Kill the Mood

Nothing says “romantic” like:

• Scratchy fabric
  
• Loud crinkling sounds
  
• A towel that slides away the moment things get interesting
  

What actually works better:

• POUND PAD LITE feels soft and plush like a blanket
  
• It’s quiet, discreet, and stays in place
  
• It protects the bed without reminding you it’s there
  

Protection should be invisible. Not a vibe check.

Mistake #4: Not Using Enough Coverage

One tiny towel in the middle of the bed is optimism, not planning.

What actually works better:

• POUND PAD LITE is sized like a towel but designed for coverage
  
• It includes overhang, so it protects more than just one spot
  
• And it comes as a 2-pack:
  
  • One for the bed, one for the couch
    
  • One in the wash, one ready to go
    
  • Or extra coverage when things get… ambitious
    

Mistake #5: Treating Towels Like Single-Use Sacrifices

Normal towels:

• Get soaked
  
• Get gross
  
• Get tossed in the wash looking defeated
  

What actually works better:

• POUND PAD LITE is:
  
  • Washable
    
  • Reusable
    
  • Designed for repeat nights, not emergencies
    
• Made for squirt, not shame.
  
• Built for adults who know what they’re here for.

Why Waterproof Towels Are a Completely Different Category

These aren’t bath towels.
They aren’t throw blankets.
They’re sex towels built with a specific job:

• Towel-sized coverage
  
• Plush, blanket-like feel
  
• Hidden waterproof barrier
  
• Quiet, soft, and stays put
  
• Designed by Home in Bold  the brand that keeps you coming (back)
  

They solve the exact problems regular towels pretend they can handle.

The “Better Way” to Do It

• Lay down a real waterproof towel for intimacy
  
• Let it cover the area properly (yes, that’s what the overhang is for)
  
• Do your thing
  
• Toss it in the wash
  
• Go again tomorrow without stressing about your mattress
  

No mood-killing prep. No more damage control. There will be no surprises.
