Shopping writer Meghan in the Amazon’s Choice Kayman cooling towel (Image: OK!)As a frequent sufferer of migraines and headaches, I’ve been on the hunt for affordable and effective remedies that don’t involve popping pills. So when I discovered these innovative towels designed to stay dry and cool for hours, I was eager to try them out – plus they’re on Amazon. I usually resort to an ice pack or damp flannel to alleviate my headache pain, but this often results in a soggy face and a warm towel within minutes, especially during a heatwave. For £5, you can get your hands on two Kayman Cooling Gym Towels. These towels are made from a microfibre material that retains the coolness of water while drying quickly, so you won’t end up soaked. Originally intended to help regulate body temperature during gym workouts, these towels can also be used as a summer hack if you’re spending the day outdoors or struggling with the heat at home. The cooling towel’s generous size allows it to be easily folded or left loose, and it can be worn almost anywhere. As the material dries quickly, I find it ideal for wrapping around my head during severe headaches, reports the Mirror.

The cold sensation helps to alleviate some of the symptoms for longer than a typical wet flannel would. These £5 summer essentials come in a range of shades – perfect for mixing and matching! I picked up blue and pink for Mum and me so we’d know whose is whose. They’re super easy to fold away whether damp or dry, making them a breeze to stash in your gym bag or tote, and their total saviours if you’re deprived of aircon at work. The Amazon choice cooling towels are an absolute dream to use, night or day, wicking away sweat so you can say bye-bye to that clammy feeling around your neck or, if you’re like me, your forehead while out and about, or just chilling at home in the summer heat.
