A question about your use of towels

That is so many towels.
I know, but it's just the way I was raised. Everything different, and it looks a little icky to me. I can deal with different arrangements (and I have occasionally dealt with much, much worse in my life, god bless cheap youth hostels :lol:), but given the opportunity, I go back to my method.

I guess the "a new towel every day"-method could have the same results in the end, I just never tried that.
 
I guess I just don't understand how dirty you think you are AFTER you shower. I mean, if you really need that many towels, you're clearly not bathing correctly.

I really don't understand the "feet towel." My feet towel is the carpet...

I think I'm bathing correctly, thank you very much. :p

Yeah, the feet towel is used as carpet when i come out of the shower, because I don't use a fixed carpet in the bathroom. That's why I need one just for that and can't use it for anything else.

Maybe some details can be useful? The hands towel is used when I just wash my hands (life before dinner or after doing something that would make them actually dirty). The face towel is used in the morning after I wash my face and shave. The body towel is used after my evening shower.

I didn't supposed it was so unusual! :lol:
 
I have one towel in my bathroom. I use it to dry any and all things that need drying.

I don't have a carpeted bathroom either, but I do have a bathmat right outside the shower.
 
I was confused on the whole "foot towel" thing as well. Do most posters here use an actual towel towel instead of a bath mat?

My mother uses a towel instead of a bath mat. I have a times wonder why she does. It isn't as if bath mats are expensive to buy.
 
If there's a bath mat in the bathroom, I'll use it, but otherwise, it's one of the 3 or 4 towels that my sister uses for each shower, then throws on the floor. We only have 2 bathmats, one for each bathroom, so there are times when there isn't one around.
 
I use one towel for the shower. Wash it once or twice a week (well most of the time). Also have 2 beach towels, which I'll be using more over the next few months.

It's a matter of use, not cost. I don't like rugs in general, I feel they accumulate a lot of stuff in their fibers (hairs, skin cells, dirt, dust, ecc). So when I step out of the shower I just throw a towel on the floor, step on it for a few minutes until I'm dry, and the pick it up.

Yeah, I didn't get it either. I use a bath mat too. I guess it's not really much different though, really. The mat is more "fit for purpose" though, given it doesn't slip around the floor as much. *shrug*
 
Ew, who the hell would want to take their dirty towel and use it again?

Anyways, I also use a different towel while I am on the net looking at those pics of Randy Orton with just a towel on.

Well, I clean myself in the shower, and thus I use a clean towel to dry my clean self, then the towel hangs and dries and for the most part is still clean.

Neeeeeever heard of a "foot towel." Huh.

I wash my bathmat at least every other week - I have two of them for this very reason. In fact, they are white, and the reason is, I like to be able to bleach them sometimes. So the bathmat is nearly as clean as the towels.

Of which there are three in our bathroom. One bath towel each for my husband and me, one hand towel that we share. They are generally changed once/week, but if they get dirty for some reason, I'll change them more often. I like a clean towel.
 
The following exchange is NOT my attitude towards towels:

Val Denton: Then there's the towels. White for hands, brown for feet, green for torso, thighs and seat. And in the cupboard beneath the stair...
[Harvey enters]
Harvey Denton: ...you'll find the red for pubic hair.

;)
