Wrap it around yourself firmly, then from the top start folding down. Should hold for a quick walk down the hall. If you need to walk further distances I suggest you to get a bathrobe.

Maybe you are too fat.
Buy a beach towel.

Better yet, get one of those tarps they use to move dolphins.

lol leave it to an atoter to have to ask how to wrap a towel.

I was thinking the same thing.

So does anyone out there know how to put 1 foot in front of the other and walk? I keep tripping over my 2 left feet. Isn't it ironic dontcha think?

ROFL

Tie it in a knot around your penis. If this does not work, try superglueing it or a staple gun.

Exactly, the key, however, is to make sure that the tucked corner is on your hip. That will give you maximum security.

I know that this is quite an old thread but I've been wondering for years how some ppl can keep a towel around their waist. It's not an idiotic question since I can't seem to keep any towel on for longer than a few seconds whether I start walking or just stand there. I'm doing something wrong or missing a step. I'm not rotund at all and I do wrap said bath towel around my waist tightly but it just won't stay in place. I finally remembered to Google this so-called problem and stumbled upon this site. fml

I have no idea how long I can keep a towel wrapped around my waist. I walk the 6 feet to my bedroom and throw on clothes. Why is this even a thing?

Ideally, it goes around your hips, not your waste. There's much less fluctuation in body circumference at the hips when moving about.

If you're fat, it's probably not going to work, no matter what you try. Someone with a 29" waste is going to have a lot more towel to tuck in than someone with a 49" waste.

Towel? Overrated. As the old saying goes..

"To impress a chick do the helicopter dick"

Can't do that with a towel on.

you can spin the towel on your dick, like a fan. Thus, creating a nice pleasant breeze for your lady friend during the ass-sweat days of summer. What fine young lady wouldn't appreciate this?

You even had a rhyme. More or less you gave us all free poetry to enjoy! :) and also a visual image that we can not unsee. :(

He knows how but pretends like he doesn't maybe? To get the towel to fall off on purpose. An exhibitionist thing perhaps.

Tuck the end of the towel (after wrapping it around you) into the top of the towel between the towel and your body, like you were tucking in a shirt. Kinda hard to explain I guess. I'd take a picture but fuck that.
