New towel everyday really shocks me as far as resources go.

I mean... it's just water right? Just let them dry after you use them o_O

I'm really surprised to see so many people who use a new one every day. But not surprised to see the 5-7 and 7+'ers outnumbering that.

Its fine to reuse towels. Just hang them up to dry so they don't stay wet. If they stay wet, bacteria propagates and they start smelling. I usually use towels 2-3x before getting a new one because using a new towel every day=mass laundry plus bad for the environment and using a towel too often deprives you of the fluffiness and they eventually do smell.

After I shower, theoretically I'm the cleanest thing in the house. Therefore, my towels should get cleaner every time I use them.

+ Show Spoiler +
Typically use towels until they start to smell. So between 3 days and a week or two depending on the towel.

i change mine everytime i shower. i use the towel to wipe my face after brushing my teeth and i think it's kinda nasty since dead skin gets on the towels. humid env+dead skin=perfect medium for bacterial and fungal growth. : (

i dont really understand why people would be wasteful enough to use a new towel everyday. I mean after the shower arent you supposed to be clean? Then you're just towelling off the water, so the towel should be clean every time, at least fairly clean. I've never had a towel smelling or seeming weird and I only wash them every time I do laundry which is once every two weeks, if i remember or have room on laundry day, and ive never noticed anything strange.

kdog question

To the people who reuse towels. Do you rewear clothes? Im not talking about pants or coats. I mean like t shirts, sweaters, long sleeves. I think everyone here changes their boxers daily.

Growing up, I never used the same towel more than once without washing it. Now that I've been exposed to the world of multi-day towel usage and have to go through the hassle and expense of doing all my own laundry in college, I generally use them 2-3 times.

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.

Actually what you think is false.

#1 I watched an old Montel Williams Show (i know, great source right?) but there was some germ expert or smth on the show and explained that when you towel off millions and billions of dead skin cells scoff off and into the towel. And since it's damp and warm it's a perfect breeding ground for germs. You should never use a towel twice.

#2 Girls often have super wet hair and the towel becomes soaked when they are done with it, probably doesn't dry out in time or smells bad after a day.

I still reuse my towels though, probably change every 2-7 days.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)
