The use of the foot towel is not widespread. A reason for this may be the fact that it tends to slip and slide around on tiled floors and does not have the same grip or friction of a rug, carpet or mat.

Both varieties of foot towel are widely available.
As with regular bath towels, foot towels come in a variety of colours. Decorative foot towels can be purchased, albeit at a higher price. Some foot towel manufacturers feature landscapes and cartoon characters on their products.
