Abstract

A towel and clip system provides a user with a readily accessible towel that is detachably attached to the user's clothing (e.g., the waistband of pants or shorts). This system includes a portable towel, a waistband clip, and at least one releasable fastener. The releasable fastener is peripherally integrated into the portable towel is detachably attached to the waistband clip. The releasable fastener is preferably a permanent magnet, while at least some portion of the waistband clip is preferably made of a ferromagnetic material, which allows the releasable fastener to magnetically attach or detach from the waistband clip.
