Let’s talk about a very specific kind of summer rage: when you perfectly line up your towel on the lounge chair, only for it to slide down your back, bunch under your legs, or catch a breeze and flap into the next zip code. First world problem? Maybe. Annoying enough to ruin your poolside chill? Definitely. Which is why I am now forever loyal to these Elastic Towel Band Holders — aka the simple little genius I wish I invented.
They’re basically giant, stretchy rubber bands that go over the top and/or bottom of your lounge chair to hold your towel in place. That’s it. No clips. No plastic parts to snap. No complicated straps or ties. Just slip one of these elastic bands around the chair and boom — towel secured. And yes, it really works.
I grabbed the black/grey pack, but they also come in fun color combos like pink/green, yellow/green, and blue/white if you want something a little brighter. You get a pack of 10, so you can toss them in your pool bag, your beach bag, or even stash a few in your suitcase for vacation. They weigh practically nothing and take up less space than a pair of flip-flops.
If you have kids, pets, wind, or just a general hatred of re-tucking your towel every five minutes, these are 100% worth it. I like to use one on the top of the chair to keep it from slipping and sometimes add one on the bottom if it’s extra windy. Someone in the Amazon reviews said it best: “I thought these would be kind of a joke, but they work like magic. I’m buying more as gifts.” Same.
Whether you're headed to the beach or just trying to make your backyard setup a little less chaotic, these are the kind of problem-solvers that make a surprising difference. They're especially perfect for families who don't want to deal with the hassle of towel clips or constant adjusting. And at this price point, you can grab a set for everyone.
