It just seems like it's made for children or in other cases, adult nappies (where it's thicker). I haven't really seen it made as bath towel as the cloth is too white and soft

Terrycloth, terry cloth, terry, or simply towelling is a fabric with loops that can absorb large amounts of water. It can be manufactured by weaving or knitting, with weaving on a dobby loom the predominant commercial method, having two beams of longitudinal warp through which the filler or weft is fired laterally.
Items that may be made from terrycloth include towels (bath towels of terrycloth are called 'Turkish towels'), bedlinen, and sweatbands for the wrist or head.
Terry towelling hats with a shallow brim were once popular with cricketers (like English wicketkeeper Jack Russell) but are no longer in fashion.
Terrycloth became accessible to the general public in the late 1800's.

Depends on the quality of what you buy.. hand towels bath towels and beach towels are all made from the same material. best use a good quality fabric conditioner to keep emm nice and soft.

If it's the same material that Americans call terry cloth I think of it as material for a bathrobe or a wrap one wears at the beach when it gets a little too chilly in just a bathing suit.
