Do you have your own towel?

I have 3 towels, but only 1 on the go at any time, which is used for both my evening and morning showers, hung up behind my door to dry.
Towel gets a was every 3-4 weeks. It's just drying up some clean water, absolutely no need to wash them so frequently.

Why would anyone EVER share a bath towel?
Knowing that you've been vigorously polishing the dangleberries and flossing the sheriff's badge with your own towel should put off anyone else from wanting to even touch it no matter how much of a neat freak you are.
As much as I'd love the missus (if I currently had one) I'd not want to be wiping the water from my eyes only to realise it'd been integral to moisture wicking the stench trench either!

Nothing worse than those soft fluffy towels that just move the water around. Much prefer my old tried and trusted one that soaks the water up like a sponge, dry in seconds!
Also have to 75% dry off in the bath/shower. Hate it when people jump out and soak the floor and matts! Also need to squeegee (is that the word?) the shower glass.

This is a must
Solution in two parts ...
First, use high quality towels. Feel lovely, soft, caressing.
Second, never use 'fabric softener' when washing them. All that seems to do is give them a waterproof coating, resulting in a fluffy feeling and beggar all absorbency.
High quality towels are one of life's little luxuries well worth paying for. As are high thread count bed linen.
Since I can feel my masculinity credentials wilting, I'll point out that really good towels last ages too, so are economical, saving money long-term.
Honest.
Well, the wife bought in to that story.

TBH, it makes no difference to me - I have long hair, so just crack out the hair dryer... That combined with mother nature sees me nicely dried with no actual need for a towel.
Besides, the dog is usually sleeping on the best towels anyway!!

Own towels, as having two kids who seem incapable of washing properly unless me or the wife are standing over them I would'nt take the risk of using one of theirs. I also have my own bathroom so no worries of any one using my towel any way.
Bathrobes are towelling, dressing gowns aren't. Just put it on for a minute or two and dry yourself then hang it up.

That basically means the dog now owns that towel, so it's not like we would be using it... It just seems to always be the best/most expensive towels he chooses to annex.Minging
Or are you just calling my dog a minger??!!

Usually liquid dispenser these days, and it's ok to share that.

They'd likely implode if they knew what life used to be like when I were a lad... kids playing outside, barefoot on the grass and mud, dog poo on pavements and football pitches alike, handling cats and dogs and mice and snakes and spiders, all manner of germs on everything... and yet we never had half the allergies to stuff that people seem to be developing these days!!I've shared a towel after football/rugby before when I've forgotten mine

I have my own towel, however for the usual hand drying etc then a communal towel is used but for hygiene reasons I wouldn't ever want to have a shared towel for drying myself after a bath/shower.

I can't believe how many dirty buggers on here share a hand towel
You've just done a big number two, washed your hands, dried and then let somebody else use the hand towel.

There is a reason I use hand gel after opening public bathroom doors too...
I do have my own towel because I like to have my own things, but I don't bother with it, I just grab any towel out of the airing cupboard.
I have my own mugs, bowls and glasses. But I don't have my own plate or cutlery.
Yeah I share cutlery too! I'm such a filthy git. My brother could have used that fork and there I am putting it my mouth too. Such incest!

This is grim. Of course I have my own towel...otherwise I'd be sharing with 3 other random housemates, and that would be unthinkable!
I also let it dry on the radiator and probably change towels once a week, which equates to 5 uses as I'm away at the weekends and use different towels.
