Do you have your own towel?

OP I don't know how old you are, but you really shouldn't have to be asking this, if you'd like me to give you the long winded fecal bacteria explanation then by all means ask. But you won't like the answer.

TLDR

Don't share a towel unless you want someones bunghole bacteria all over you.

Good day.
 
I live alone so it's not an issue but when I lived at my mums we had a communal collection of laundered towels we could take a clean towel from when needed but once you'd used it, you hung it up and exclusively used that towel until it was washed again, whereupon it was returned to the communal stock.

I wouldn't use someone else's used towel but see no issue with using a laundered towel that wasn't exclusively mine.

Unless you live in a plastic bubble, then I have bad news for you about other people's bacteria. It's everywhere. And if it's intestinal flora you're afraid of then you really better not kiss anyone.

Incidentally, did you know faeces transplants are an actual medical technique used to help people establish a healthy digestive system? :)

So why do you think I've asked the question or didn't you bother to read it - tut tut.
If you've bothered to read the rest of the thread you will see that many posters on here are basically dirty buggers.

Oh, and I used to give lessons at the hospital I work at in hand washing techniques & bacteria.
I even won a Nursing Times Award for an Aseptic Techniques tutorial DVD.

Please read next time.

EVERYONE on here is a dirty bugger - If you have touched something taht someone else has touched, like a door handle or a phone or a train seat or anything, you will be carrying their bacteria.

So until the world is peppered with little bottles and dispensers of alcohol gel and foam everywhere, I guess you'll just have to rely on your immune system.

So you have professionally taught people how to wash their hands, but cannot bath/shower with enough skill to clean your own body properly? :p
 
Use your own towels for both convenience and hygiene please.

I'm no paragon of cleanliness but I've always done it that way. The alternative makes me feel icky.

OP appears to be saying that they were a dirty bugger growing up, but is now a very clean bugger, being a professional hand-washy person and all (with shares in Purell clip-ons and everything)... but that while their eldest is also a clean bugger, the younger(s) may or may not be - This latter detail has not really been clarified and I'm mainly trying to figure out just how many young people in the ten-year age range live in this house of the OP's...
The minimum would be three, given that "some" of them use any old towel while at leat one (the eldest) does not... but the mere use of "some" suggests there may be quite a few... and they're all dirty buggers...

Something like that?
