How it's used
Distinguish between a standard towel used for the face or hands, known as 毛巾, and the larger version specifically for the body, which is 浴巾. While 浴巾 is the standard term, people often just use 大毛巾 to describe the same item in casual conversation. It is common to see these provided in hotels or gyms, but they are rarely used for anything other than drying off after a bath or swim.
