      People switch towels after every shower?

      I’ve heard of people taking multiple showers a day, but not switching towels after each shower.

        I don’t care that it’s completely freshly clean; a butt is still a butt and has butt germs and I would rather not think about it. I’m gonna do laundry anyway, it’s easier that way.

        I was proud of myself just for finally washing them weekly regularly

        I do have several towels in the rotation each week, though, as my bathroom doesn’t vent moisture super quickly so they can be slow to dry, and sometimes I do shower more than once a day (mostly just in the summer — morning, after doing dirty/sweaty work like woodworking or yardwork, after sports, etc). I run hot and I sweat easily.

        But, like, shower and drip dry… there’s not much left to towel off tbh

          I wash my towels weekly too. Imo that’s the norm for things like towels and bedsheets, depending on use.

        You wash a towel after each use? Do you also wash your pants daily? What a waste of resources.

        Edit: Trousers for the smug Brit about to reply.

          Do you also wash your pants daily? What a waste of resources.

          You don’t have to? What a life of leisure.

          I do wash my pants after each wear, if that’s what you mean. Not jeans, because denim breathes, but like khakis and stuff. All of these stretchy clothes with artificial fabrics get real nasty after a single wear.

          Edit: Should also add that I at least won’t be the smug Brit that replies because I used the word “khakis” instead of chinos.

        No… that would be insane. Do you wash hand towels after washing your hands each time? Both things are incredibly wasteful and completely unnecessary.

        Not where I live. I am clean, the towel is clean, and it has a lot of open space to air dry between showers. Wash every 3 or 4 showers just in case the house is more humid than I think to avoid the possibility of mildew if the towel gets bunched up.

        When I travel sometimes it is every time if the location is really humid since air drying there doesn’t work very well and they frequently have hooks that don’t let the towel spread out.
