About 25 years ago, my mother was gifted a very expensive (about $100 even then) long unisex Turkish spa robe by a well-off friend. Turned out not to be my mom's thing, though, and sat around until about 5 years later when she asked me if I wanted it. Uhh, yeah!
This robe (it is snow white) has hung on a hook in the bathrooms of two different houses for 20 years and I use it every single time I shower. In general, I also wipe off the big drops with a small towel or shared bath towel, then don the spa robe until I'm ready to get dressed and hang it back up for the next time. It's very absorbent, much cozier and more secure to wear than even an enormous bath towel. I don't need to wash it more than about once a month. Even then, it doesn't stink - that just feels like enough time has gone by that I'd better do it.
The robe is still holding up well after 20 years, in one piece with no holes or frays just yet, still cozy. If this thing ever does disintegrate to the point of not being able to use it, I mean to invest the money (probably significantly more these days) to buy another one, though I have looked and this level of quality is a bit hard to find. If you can find a high-quality one, though, it could become a trusty companion for many years to come!
