This is a poncho-style bath towel with a bear hood. I've used it 2-3 times, but there are no noticeable stains or frays. The texture has softened slightly. It also has buttons, so you can wrap your child in it after their bath and have them wait. Above all, they look adorable wrapped in it♡ There is no box it originally came in, so it will be placed in an OPP bag and shipped in a Yu-Packet Post box. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned, as this is a personal item.
