I've always liked the way towels hang on a towel hook and they are much easier to hang up! We live in a humid climate and I think they don't dry as quickly, but I still like them. I posted recently with the problem of where to put my towel hooks since the glass shower door would be opening into the towel hooks. I am glad to say that I have found a solution that also keeps you from putting holes in your towels. Also the towels will not slide off the hook. I liked my solution so well that I used it on both hooks, even though only one hook would hit the shower door.
I was using a chrome hook with a three fourths inch diameter knob on the end (Delta Cassidy). I attached a rubber tip slight smaller diameter (five eights inch diameter and stretched it onto the tip. It's on tight and all my problems are solved. You can see the tip on the right hook. The tip doesn't show since I always have a towel hanging up.
