why would you want to use a towel that someone else rubbed all over their naked body to dry themselves off? even if its just yourself, re-using a towel (that may still be wet the next time you use it) seems rather disgusting to me.

You've just showered, so you're clean anyway... why not use a separate towel for each body part? Do you really want to dry your leg with a towel that has been rubbed all over your naked arm?
No, you're not clean after you shower. Just cleaner.
 
about 5-7 days. depends..u can sorta tell when a towel is getting funky. depends on humidity....how long it stays wet after etc. and how many showers u take a day..tends to be variable ..when u work out or not etc
 
The last time I changed towels was 6months ago when my dog chewed my old one up.
I should probably be thinking of washing it soon. 😛

Clean enough that I don't mind using the same towel again. Hasn't killed me yet!

That's why there's an order to how you dry. Face - head - chest - arm - back - legs - feet - groin - butt
 
Well, I'm glad that at least 12 other people on earth agree with me.

Ditto that.
 
7ish.

Fvck you vaginas who use a towel only once. 😛

After college (even before) I realized it was dumb not to use towels far more than once. Now I often go 7-8 days before starting a new towel.

Hell, I just go top to bottom... stopping at each place along the way :Q.

I change every week or so, maybe a little more. If I'm taking more showers than usual, (usually once before I sleep, and half the time once when I wake up), and the towel is damp, I get another and rotate until the change of towels, when I go back down to one, and try it again.
 
Anywhere between 2-4 days. I make sure I dry out the towel after use. And I usually never leave a towel in the bathroom coz it takes longer to dry in there.

edit: added the word "never"
 
I keep two towels in rotation, because I shower twice a day. Each gets used for 1-3 weeks, depending on my mood. If it doesn't smell funky, no reason to swap it. Also, I use one end of the towel for my face etc, and the other end for my butt. Crotch gets the middle of the towe.
