    There are two camps on this one, both have valid points:

    1. different bacteria live on different parts of the body, makes sense to use different towels for different parts of the body that don’t come into contact much
    2. if when you leave the shower you feel that you can’t use one towel for the whole body you should go back to the shower

      this, if anyone os worried about the hygiene of towels, that means they aren’t confident on their shower.

      if you’re clean it doesn’t matter if your dry yer anus first.

        Ok, but also no, because how many times are you going to use a “clean” towel to dry off? I usually use it twice then wash it.

          I am under the assumption that if I am clean, then the drying towel will be clean, I wash it after a while, but if it gets dirty, its because I need to shower better.

      I have always used the same towel for everything but I do realize now that I pick the towel off the rack and place it over my head the same way, making it so my head gets dried with the “top” of the towel legs with the bottom, and it gets put back on the rod the same direction. So it is possible the ball section of the towel never touches my face, that said… I wouldnt be worried about it anyways. I’m not exactly scared of balls, and they aren’t naturally acidic and even a vaginas acidity (~tomato) level, isn’t dangerous for our skin.

    I also wipe my asshole with that same towel. No particular order. I’m coming out of the shower clean so what does it matter.

    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.

    Every towel I have ever used has a tag on it, that’s the crotch end, dry your face with the other end.

          That’s kinda of wasteful isn’t it? Washing a perfectly good towel after a single usage.

          If the body was cleaned correctly, you could just air dry and use it like 2 to 3 times.

          I use two towels per week, and they never smell bad before I put them for washing.

            i’m doing a load of whites once a week regardless, so no, its not wasteful.

                Don’t newer washers auto detect the load size? And if so, wouldn’t larger load mean more weight, and therefore more energy used?

    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
