In my home we have an individual bath towel,A personalize color of bath towel for each family member to distinguished and to avoid mix up of using each other towels.
I always have a white color bath towel and face towel to personalized my usage and so we avoid misuse of others belonging.
How about you guys do you have an individual towel or share with a family member?

We do same thing here. I have green towels, my daughter has purple, my grandson has blue ones. Works well. This really works well. We all have our signature color. We are all responsible to have our towels clean and so forth. I have a spot where I keep my toiletries and towels and so forth.

Hi Cloud,
We have our towel. It's color coded. my kids know their respective towels. even their pillows and blankets. they assigned their favorite colors. i am happy that they are in a way trying to have choices and assert what they want.

they are smart enough to pick their choice. sometimes it drives me crazy but i am having fun how they are asserting and starting to make choices in their lives. i know even if they are special kids, they will become productive citizen of our country. and i am so proud of them.

That was my mom used to do when I was in my childhood having my own freedom to express my feelings and that it brings confident to a child ,a freedom to make/choose things in his/her preferable way and with the guidance of their parents.
I love my mom for raising me that way and I admire you for being that way too.I believe that your children will build a good self confidence and self determination which bring them success in their lives and brings happiness to you as parents.

Hello msfrancisco,
I really admire people who can maintain good hygiene especially to their home and family including themselves, I'm so glad to know your kids having these practice as well and having their freedom to choose their preferred item and color.
Thank you for sharing and Happy myLotting!!

It's just my husband and I (and our dog - LOL!) who live in our house, so yes, we don't share, but we use our own separate bath towels. I, like you, keep a different color towel for each of us each week when I change out the towels to be sure we can tell them apart. His always goes on the back rung of the towel holder, and mine goes in front. We have three or four different colors of these towels, so I rotate our colors each week when I put out fresh ones. I also rotate the hand towels, but we use the same one of those. I think it's important to have your own bath towel because it's just like sharing a toothbrush, in my opinion, if you share a bath towel!

Thanks so much, my friend. I know you and I always agree on things of this nature, and I absolutely love it! I'm glad we're on the same page here. You probably don't get sick too often, do you? I don't normally get sick because I try to have good health practices and such. However, I know sickness will come every once in a while. I saw another discussion where you weren't feeling too well. I hope you are better very soon! Cheer up! Take care and keep up the good work.

no i don't like it i don't mind sharing my partners when the situation occurs, but prefer to have one towel for each person. It's gross thinking of using a towel after someone has dried all their bits.

I do not share my towel even to my brother coz i know and i believe its private properties of an individual.

my husband and i share the same towel,since i do our laundry and we don't have washing machine that is automatic. i rather share a bath towel than to wash too many bath towels.

I don't have anyone to share with but wouldn't share my towel if i did. I use a towel one time & it goes in the dirty clothes. That's a good idea to have a certain color for each family member. Have a happy sunday.

Hello ANTIQUELADY,
Yeah that's the very important to each family member to have a towel of their own and it should be our habit to keep personal belongings unshared unless necessary and as you said once used it has to be put in laundry to minimize sharing!
Thanks for your response and Have a nice day always.

Yes i share bath towel with my family members only not with other person. But some when i travel with my friend out of station they forget to bring towel that time i might share the towel.

Of course we have an individual one- it'n not really color coded though. But we can distinguish which one is ours and I think it's unsanitary to share toiletries.

When I was young I remember sharing towels with my parents and siblings. But now I no longer share with them. I have my own towel.
