So I was talking to a coworker and he was saying how his girlfriend has to use a fresh new towel every time she showers. We both agreed that its completely absurd, since once you are out of the shower you are clean. So naturally drying yourself with the towel leaves nothing but water which can just dry off and be used another day. Out of curiosity we wanted to see how many people reuse their towels because we had a split number of people around work. Some grab a new towel every day and some reuse.

Poll: how often do you change your towel
(Vote): every day
(Vote): 2-4 days
(Vote): 5-7 days
(Vote): 7+ days

I pretty much change mine once a week, that way I can wash it at the end of the week when I do all my other laundry.

I've noticed that a towel that is reused multiple times starts to smell sour, especially right after you dry yourself with it.

I usually change mine between a week and two weeks... if you shower properly, all its doing is wiping off water so i think its sort of a waste to do it any less than a week, though i can understand that some people want it washed more often than that.
What you need to do is be thankful for the life you got, you know what im sayin? ... stop lookin at what you ain't got ... start bein thankful for what you do got.

I change my towel after 1 week at a minimum. Washing towels consumes a lot of water a power.

How can you use the same towel for over a week? Showers get you clean, yes, but you're not going to be completely clean even after the shower (unless you're doing nothing all day). You can't even argue for conserving water because, really, one towel or three, the cycle takes the same amount of water. The only way you can conserve water is by not using a new towel every time you shower because you'll end up using a cycle just to wash all your towels.

I've never met anyone who uses the same towel twice in a row. I do agree with the points made in this thread, but I literally have never heard of anyone ever, in my entire life, using a towel more than once. The world is a big place.

My towels never smell. I think there might be something wrong with the water you use.

What? The less often you change towels, the less often you need to wash towels. Of course it conserves water. And most washing machines allow for different sized loads, which use different amounts of water.

Edit: I guess I am just more conscious about this than most people, living in a desert and all...
