this is the kind of question ILT needs more of

after showering, do any of you ever give your crack a quick swipe w/your towel and then sniff the towel to determine your freshness

i do it every time just fyi

do this w/ taint tbh

y'all need to be scrubbing better

idk why you would potentially ruin a towel doing this, just use your fingers

after a shower you could eat dinner off my crack tbqh

I just hope the smell of my towel doesn't rub off on my crack.

Aren't you drying this area anyway? If you're not I would recommend you change your drying regime cause that's not an area you want to remain damp imo.

Anyway what the hell - yes, I do this but I'm sort of a gross person and not at all grossed out my bodily stuff so maybe it's not that surprising.

I think it's unnecessary to sniff the towel on the grounds that if a person has just cleaned that area, it'll be as clean as it's going to be anyway.

not if you p00p in the sh0wer it won't be!

What kind of heathen poops in a shower? Everyone knows you should poop in the bidet. (also what's with the unnecessary googlep00ping googlepr00fing?)

I guess he's worried Mrs. Unregistered googles his name + poop + shower.

well, I already have to put up with this on a daily basis, so you can well understand my unease.

to get back on topic, I sniff my towel on occasion to make sure it hasn't been hanging on the rack long enough to build up mold/mildew/bacteria. for the most part towels becomes dirty and smelly and noxious not because of contact with your perfectly clean body (crack and all) but because of the dodgy combination of cotton, water, toilet aerosols, and the warm, dark, humid, cavelike atmosphere of yr bathroom. change your towels weekly and you shouldn't have this problem!

There is a thread somewhere where ppl were being really weird about never reusing a towel and washing them after each and every use!!

No, and here's why: suppose it's fresh. Really really fresh. Smells like fuckin' daisies. Give it one good long walk, one climb up a few flights of stairs, or anything else that causes any sweat at all, and it won't be fresh anymore. Or fart a couple times. Or have a poo. Not a fresh ass anymore. "Fresh ass" is a pristine condition that is unsustainable for any length of time. The fact that I have rubbed my crack and asshole with soapy doo-dads during a shower is plenty for me to be satisfied that it's clean enough to go on about my day, because even if it's not 100% awesome-smelling, no matter -- it wouldn't be for very long, anyway.

this. is. insane!

I knew a guy who would wash his jeans after each and every time he wore them :|

I run a two towel system. Towel gets used for upper body/hair/face, then gets used for lower body the next shower while a fresh one is used for upper body. I know it's insane and I'm perfectly clean after a shower, but I don't like rubbing things on my face that have recently been used to dry my taint.

I have two separate towels in the bathroom at the same time, a small one for face/hands, a large bath towel for everything else.

I very rarely reuse a towel. We don't have enough space in our bathroom for everyone to have their own out at the same time. Only adds up to 1 more load of laundry per week and drying off with yesterday's towel sucks anyway.

As to the thread question, I give ham canyon a swipe with some good old t.p. before drying with a towel. I don't perform a sniff check unless I suspect someone else's nose will be up there.

i reuse towels all the time, i operate by the costanza theory that towels should become cleaner just by being rubbed on my clean body

x-post - I just can't imagine washing all my towls after each and every use. Like Milo I also have a two towel system. One is for my hair and one for my body but I don't care which is which or which goes where. I'm clean anyway so who cares. Probably wash/change towels about once a week, maybe twice.

Ha - it looks like I started that towel thread I mentioned and posted in it about my friend Kevin and the ball drying hand towel incident:

Was just reminded about my friends who moved in together last year and had an unfortunate towel incident. T had put handtowels in the bathroom which she sometimes used to wipe off her face after washing. A couple weeks into the move T noticed that they smelled funny and asked K if he'd noticed the funky hand towels. Hand towels - what do you mean? Turns out he didn't know they had a designated purpose (?) and had been using them to wipe his balls. Why his balls were still ripe even after a shower, I never bothered to ask . . .

how many times do you use yr bath towel before you wash it?

and

Towels

He thought that were... what? Nad towels? Are they labelled as such in the department store where he shops?

TBH he's kid of gross and I think he was just using whatever was nearest to wipe 'em off when he had swamp ass/balls.
