    The butt is the dirtiest part of the body so I usually just remove yesterdays towel from my ass and then insert today’s towel right up there while shaking like a dog to air dry

    You dry your balls first, then your ass. Then, you get in the shower. After the shower, you use the same towel again to re-apply your musk. Women love it.

    Yeah I’m not using a different towel. I’ve just come out of a shower where I’ve scrubbed myself clean.

    This is such an american question.

    It’s after a shower. At that point your balls should be as clean as your face, or you’re doing it wrong.

      You would be shocked how bad most people are at cleaning themselves. They think just being under running water is enough or only wash upper with soap and the “rest runs down and gets washed”

      Been washing my balls n ass since junior high and guys would look at me like I’m insane when i mentioned i shampoo downstairs, is how i came to find out most of them don’t even do basic soap let alone scrub down there

        Instead of showering I just roll around in garbage, it fortifies the skin against bees and keeps dangerous people away. It keeps all other kinds of people away too which is a nice bonus.

        Yeah, I use shampoo on my balls, ass, front, armpits and hair. Back is a pain so I don’t and I pretend the arms and legs don’t exist cuz I can’t be bothered.

          Shampoo is specialized detergent in solution, you can just use regular soap if you don’t care about damaging the hairs. Also, hot take, most shampoos aren’t worth it in the first place over bar soap if you have short hair.

          Now if you do want your pubes and ass hairs conditioned that’s another thing but you also need to be using conditioner for curly hair the structure of the follicles is different.

            It’s generally recommended not to clean your hair too often with shampoo anyways I think. Some people substitute the shampoo, with only conditioner sometimes.

    Do you use one towel or a fresh towel everyday.

    I have a fresh towel everyday. My current partner thinks I am absolutely insane for this. A 6 pack of basic decent bath towels is $35 shipped online. My partner came from a more affluent family than me and makes more money than me but I still think this is worth spending $35 on once every like 5-7 years until the towels wear out.

    Their argument is that you come out of the shower clean but that’s not really true. You come out less dirty still with bacteria, skin mites, dead skin cells, fungi, etc that get transferred to that towel. It’s probably fine to reuse it for a few days assuming the towel dries in between uses (which it may not, given the humid environment of a bathroom, especially if shared), that you don’t have weird situations going on (athletes foot, bacterial acne, etc), and that you’re not sharing it. But why bother when again a weeks worth of towels is like $40 and slightly more laundry. Yuck

      You need to air out your bathroom more or get a dehumidifier if yours is constantly humid. If your towels dont dry I wonder how you dont have mold growing on the walls.

      My dude, hardly anyone uses a new towel every day. Its much more than “probably” fine. Its perfectly fine.

      Is affluence the cause of germophobia because their parents convinced them frivolous luxury was actually important for staying healthy?

      Don’t get me wrong, enjoy your fresh towels! That’s nice. That’s a luxury. Luxuries are nice. But don’t fool yourself into believing that you’re any healthier for not using the same towels twice.

      You’re forgetting the cost of an extra laundry load for those towels each week.

      Fresh towel already has bacteria and fungi on it before you dry yourself with it.

      Do you use a fresh dishcloth/kitchen sponge every time you wash up? re: mythbusters ep 135.

      They didn’t test towel unfortunately unless there was a follow up that i cant remember.

        I cycle the kitchen towel every few days (sooner if there’s a spill). I replace the sponge twice a month because I haven’t found a sponge at any price that doesn’t completely fail apart and look gross after doing dishes for two weeks or so.

        I’m raising a child, so it’s probably a little more intense for me.

    Umh…I usually take showers to get clean. So, when I´m done showering (read: when I have successfully finished the task of cleaning my whole body), I use a towel to dry my now clean body. Since my whole body is clean now, I do not distinct between single body parts, because, as previously mentioned, they are all equally clean now.

      Any time I think I’m mentally fucked up, and for sure I am, I see stuff that at least makes me feel better about myself.
