how often should i swap out my shower towel?

[Schadenfroh]

i have been drying myself off with my current one for 2 weeks.

 

[dartworth]

ewwww

 

[geno]

well, honestly, I'd say it's good unless it smells...

But I usually hold myself to 3 or 4 dries with one clean towel.

 

[cavemanmoron]

about a week is when i wash mine,

 

[drum]

i don't use mine for more than a week, two sounds like plenty

 

[violetman]

i use it till it smells strange🙂Or if i Squalor it accidentally😛

 

[erikiksaz]

I could use mine for 2-3 weeks.

 

[rudeguy]

LOL...I love OT threads....

change your towell if it stinks or has stains

if you are anal, like most of the population here, just change it after every shower
who was the guy that had a routine for drying himself off to avoid butt to towel to face contact?

 

[pennylane]

about a week

 

[Dacalo]

I use my mine around 2-3 days

 

[ElFenix]

a week most

 

[Supermercado]

I change mine every 3-5 days.

 

[Joemonkey]

mine sits far away from the toilet and hangs over a vent, so i can go over 2 weeks w/o the need to change it

people who change after every shower are insane... you are wiping off clean water and letting it air dry, same as if it came out of the washer and you hung it up to dry!

 

[RossMAN]

A week at the most, usually twice a week.

ummm..... does that mean I have to go to the emergency room now for another delousing?

 

[her209]

You're supposed to change it out? 😕

 

[Ness]

I try to change at least once a week. As soon as it looses the downy smell (ahhh...) then It's time to wash that one a grab a new one.

 

[EMPshockwave82]

2-3 days usually... you're clean when you get out anyways 😛

 

[TheBoyBlunder]

I go no more than a week, much more than that and I swear they start to develop intelligence.

"...reminds me of the Dilbert cartoon where Wally announces that he never washes his towel because getting out of the shower is the cleanest object in the house. After everyone nearby says "Eeeew!" he then asks if towels are supposed to bend"

 

[Imdmn04]

well a shower towel aint that dirty afterall, since u use it to wipe yourself dry right after taking a shower.

 

[frizzlefry]

unless you didn't clean the dingle berries and you got some remnants on the towel

 

[madthumbs]

As long as you're cleaning yourself good, I'd say until it smells funny. It's going to last differently depending on the climate/ air circulation and density of the actual towel and stuff. Wiping the water off your skin with your hands before towelling down helps as well.
