So everyone has different habits when it comes to how they take care of their personal hygiene. One of those things is the stuff we do with our towels. So tell me: Do you use the same towel more than one time without washing it?
I personally don't because I like to have a super clean towel every time I shower, even though I know it's kinda wasteful.

Yes I do,I change it on the 3rd or 4th day. I just make sure to hang it after use to dry. Hotels encourage this actually. They put signs in the bathroom to reuse towels so as to safe the environment from detergent residue, and also to save water. A very ordinary task like this could go a long way in preserving Mother Earth.

Yes, you are right, hotels do indeed encourage this. And I really think I should start doing this at home too, but so far I haven't...

hello puccagirl,
yes, I use my towel more than once. I usually use for 3 days and then wash it. My daughters on other hand use it once a day and then in wash basket it goes. It save on washing so many items and haveing to dry so many times ans prevents it from fraying or getting holes in them.
Thanks and have a great day!

as long as you hang it up to dry, i think its acceptable to use it 2 or 3 times and then wash it.

Yes, I suppose so. I guess hanging it to dry quickly does make it a bit more acceptable indeed. Thanks for your reply!

I use my towel at least one week without washing because my towel is separate and I think not dirty in one day.

Yes, I use my towel more than once, and change it after a couple of days. It is important to let the towel dry outside with sunlight so it won't get any bacteria. Leaving it inside the bathroom will have bacteria because of the moist of the bathroom and also because the towel won't dry if it's there.

We don't have many nice large towels to use, because with three of us and using a towel 7 days a week, that'd be, 21 towels..so yeah,I do reuse mine unless I get something on it or I have used it too long, then I just wash it.

Hi, puccagirl. Yes, I do usually use the same towel more than once. I use it until it smells of looks dirty. I usually will change out my towel every four to five days. If my towel still smells fresh after the first use, then I will continue to use this same towel, again until it needs to be washed.

I don't think it's very hygienic to use the same towel twice, especially after a shower. Simply because, after the first time you use it, it will still be very moist and warm and provides a brilliant base for bacteria, so really it's not a good idea to use a towel twice... :)
