7 Affordable Items To Help Seniors Stay Cool in Scorching Weather

Everyone in Singapore knows that it’s hot. Being so close to the equator, the sun is at one of its fiercest here, and you may feel its scorching heat during the day, and even during the night on a particularly hot day. 

Here are some affordable items to keep you cool during hot weather. 

1. Cooling Towel

Made of super FEELCOOL ICE hyper-evaporative breathable material, this towel helps to dissipate body heat easily, with an instant cooling effect. It’s incredibly easy to use: just soak it in water, writing out any excess water, and then spread it out. Its material doesn’t drip any water, either.

You can use it as a scarf or bandana, or a yoga mat and sports towel for the larger sizes, and can remain cool for over 3 hours. It comes in a variety of colours and sizes as  well.
