    I change it about twice a week. More than that is just too much for a single guy. That being said, I don't see anything wrong with changing it more often if you are able to do it more often.

    I use a new towel every time.

    Sure you are clean, but your rub your skin with the towel and the thought of skin cells schluffing off onto the towel or what if the part of the towel you used to dry your butt is the part your are drying your face off with next time...

    Nope.
    Fresh towel for a fresh shower

    You and me!:laugh:

    I usually use 2 a week.. I hang it up on the towel rack to dry, and usually when I take a shower in the eve, its already dry from the morning, unless its in the worst of summer. And I live in a warm, humid area, so damp towels laying around shouldnt be that big of a problem?

    I'm weird about this too. I use two towels... One I wrap my hair in and one to dry myself. The one i used to dry myself with today will be hung up and used as my hair towel tomorrow. And today's hair towel went in the laundry. So two uses in rotation. Did that make sense?? Ha

    I use two as well but have a few extras. I wash them about 1 x week or when they stop smelling like Downey. I enjoy the fresh smell :)

    I have to say this has been an interesting post to me. My husband complains I wash them too often but then, my sense of smell is far better than his .......... Thank God!

    I wash the towels at least twice a week, more when the weather permits for the husband and kids. I love fresh towels, and do what someone else already posted. I rotate the uses. I use used towels on the floor for gathering up the water. Especially in my kids bathroom as goodness knows how, but the water ends up EVERYWHERE!

    If I had the time and weather was perfect, I'd use fresh towels every day for the four of us!

    We reuse our towels to conserve wash water and energy. We use the same towel for about a week then wash (hang up to dry so they don't get moldy).

    I wash the towels once a week but we use new ones after every shower or bath. I am so over the top that I buy only white ones and bleach them. I like things to match :)

    I use mine until they smell yukky too. Unsure how long that takes - maybe a week. I hang them between showers and they dry thoroughly.

    If we have guests they are washed as soon as the guests leaves, even if that's a single use - because, you know, cooties. lol.

    I love to wash towels - but it's a waste of detergent and electricity - not to mention wear and tear on the fabric to wash too often.

    I prefer to wash them after every use but my SO hangs them up and lets them dry and uses them several times. Me and my co-workers have discussed this before and some of them recylce them. Use them to dry their body one day and then use them to step out on the next and then wash. I don't know. It just bugs me and I want to wash them every time I use one.

    Once a week when I do my laundry. I'd rather them hung up to dry between use than used once and stinking out my washing basket. :sick:
