Robe for DD moving into dorm

[Anonymous]

Did anyone find a reasonably priced (preferably cotton) robe for a freshman girl? We would love to find a terry robe that will stand up to lots of laundering for under $50. Thanks.

We got a cheap cotton terry cloth robe at Ikea

Do kids wear robes in dorms?

My daughter really likes this one:

Hers is light aqua, which does not seem to be available now.

It is modest (not transparent) yet lightweight. Silky yet absorbent.

No one did in my dd’s. They just used their towel.

I think girls do.

Boys just seem to wear LOOSELY wrapped towels (or at least that was my experience on several dorm tours!)

Nope. You wear your towel or change into tank and shorts.

Make sure they have sandals or flip flops to wear in the gross shared shower also.

My DD never wore her robe and brought it home the first time she came back to visit. I think she got hers at Ikea or Bed, Bath & Beyond.

She said nobody ever wore one. I asked my son if he ever saw girls wearing them and he said just the one girl from the deep South.

DS told DD she should get one for school..on the definitely list.

OP here. Thanks all. I don't know if she'll actually use it but given co-ed dorms and co-ed bathrooms, it's conceivable to me that she might want one. The Ikea one sounds perfect.

Yeah a lot of girls just change into a tshirt and shorts from what I recall. Our shared bathroom had enough room and some hooks, benches that people could change in there like a locker room.

Don't over think it, but get her something. I know my mom did and I was glad to have it. If she doesn't use it, oh well. If she wants it, then she has it.

I was in all-female dorm, but plenty of times people had visitors over, including men.

Sounds right
