You shower.

You toss the towel into the hamper and get a new one.

Or you put it on the towel rack by the shower to dry and replace it every other day, week, month, etc.

I find that if you let the towel go longer than a week, it starts to get an odor to it. I put it on the rack on the wall next to the shower to dry and do all my laundry every Saturday.

Hmm, one towel, 2 or 3 days. Washing it after each use would be wasteful considering that I am clean by the time i use it.

How come ? You're not clean when you get out of the shower ?

You see that soap-scum on the shower curtain, tiles, and tub? That sh*t's on you too! Plus, the towels get filled with skind oils and other crud.

On a similar, but separate subject, I had a friend who changed his bedsheets every 3 months. Ewww! (Once a week is good).

Haha, that sounds funny , but you're right, was just trying to be funny



Yikes , some skin, oils and crud here too

I went 6 months one time. Actually it was probably 3 because I did flip them over. This was in college in a dorm where you could get new sheets every week too.

As far as the towel goes, it's about once per week.

I use a new towel after every shower. No real reason other than to me it seems sensible.

Why ?

Shouldn't you be CLEAN when you get out of the shower ?
How would the towel get dirty after using it once ?

Daily shower. Shower twice every other day (workout). Fresh towel every other day.

When the towel can stand up on its own, its time for a fresh one.

2-3 days for sure or it get that nasty mildew smell on it. If you use a smelly towel you end up smelling yourself.

Haha!

Every other day. I use it twice and replace it.

you really don't want to know. 1-2 months.

I like fresh towels - once a day
now you can also throw it in the dryer for 10 mins before you use it too... then its nice and warm.

You people must be rich.

wow.

I'm one of 5 people that uses a clean towel *daily*.

I don't see the point in taking a shower if you're gonna dry-off using a bacteria-laden *used* towel. Might as roll around in the dirt.

"Bacteria-laden?" "*Used*?" First of all, the minimal amount of bacteria that will stay on the towel after one use when you are, for the most part, clean is probably quite healthy to dry off with again. The more often you expose yourself to bacteria, the higher your tolerance will be. It's not like you'll be dirty, although it sounds like you may have developed a complex that won't allow you to think otherwise. If the towel is still wet before you shower, you might as well replace it to dry off better; also replace it when, as SWG mentioned, it has any odor to it. You should be able to go through the week with 1 to 2 towels, maybe three if, on some days, you take multiple showers.

It's such a waste of money to add such a load to your laundry.

heh?!

no way. i mean it takes like 10 mins to throw the towl in the dryer. and to change it out daily, you only need like 7-10 towels. You need to account for some being dirty at some point so you need overflow.

Then also factor in extra laundry cycles, water (if you have a water bill), extra detergent (etc.), electricity, and so on...

$2.00 a month for clean towels?

OK, I think that's fair.

so what maybe a total of like $3-4 a week?

you're supposed to replace bath towels?

But no one tells me how often

More votes, keep them coming!

I replace mine every week when I do laundry. Not as often as I'd like, but then... I am quite busy being lazy.
