A towel is just a towel, and who cares where your toothpaste is from, right? Not necessarily. There are valid reasons to shop products that are made in the USA. Supporting American companies helps support jobs and, therefore, the economy. Plus, safety standards in the United States ensure that your product isn’t loaded with toxic chemicals.
For something you use in the bathroom, American-made seems like a good idea. These bathroom items are made right here in the great United States, and are worth your hard-earned dollars.
