Do you use one or more towels or washcloths?

Do you get worried that you might have dried your face with the same side you dried your butt with?

You're drying yourself off after cleaning yourself. If you cleaned yourself properly, it doesn't matter what you dry first.

[-] Archelon@lemmy.world 103 points 2 months ago

Disagree: if you start at the top and work down, then the wet spots don’t drip down onto the parts you’ve already dried.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Counterpoint - I dry my legs and feet first as those are the first to cause water to get on the floor. Then I get a bathrobe and finally work on the hair.

Apparently a lot of other peeps in the comments are continually leaking from their orifices or something

I don’t need pubic hair in my face. I’ll start from the top and work down. Not sure why people are so compelled to argue.

If you feel the need to floss your ass then hit your face, by all means you do you.

I don't need pubic har in my face.

Speak for yourself.

[-] braindefragger@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Speak for yourself.

I believe that’s what everyone was doing, but it seemed to upset some people for some reason.

Generally top to bottom but don’t overthink it.

Well, usually i take my underwear off first...

[-] Troubleinmind@lemmy.wtf 8 points 2 months ago

It seems more efficient to wash it while you shower, no?

Why is that guy wearing underwear if he's just gotten out of the shower? Does he put his underwear on and then dry himself? Am I doing showers wrong?!

[-] Bertuccio@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

No you leave it on in the shower.

[-] 00L10@feddit.org 5 points 2 months ago

As a fellow nevernude...

[-] invisiblegorilla@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 months ago

I start with grit 60, working up to 120, then a 600 for the smoothest finish, then a once over with a buffing pad for a shine that really glows. Always top to bottom.

Top to bottom. Water runs downhill.

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I use the side of my hand to squegee it all down, then just have to towel off a little dampness. Learned that technique as a kid when I went to camp and only had a hand towel size for 2 weeks because of poor packing.

[-] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

I just try to befriend the water and it vanishes.

[-] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago

You mean to tell me y'all aren't just standing in front of a huge, industrial fan to dry off?

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Head to toe, my dudes. Any other way is objectively wrong.

[-] Nfamwap@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago
[-] Microw@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

Top to bottom but with D and E switched

I dry from head to toe. I use two towel, one just for my hair because I have long-ass hair and by the time I'm done drying it, the towel is usually pretty damp so I have another for my body.

I dry my croch and ass first so I can get that fresh whiff when the towel goes to my face.

[-] cabbage@piefed.social 8 points 2 months ago

Top to bottom-ish. But I consistently use one side of the towel for my face, and the other side for my junk. I know it doesn't matter as I have cleaned up everywhere anyway, but I like to keep it separated anyway.

I just shake the water off like a dog.

I just have a human sized Dyson air blade. As I step out of the shower, hurricane force winds blow all the water back into it.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

That actually sounds glorious, especially if it makes a ding-a-ling copter on your way out.

Generally top to bottom, because otherwise drips from above will rewet areas you tried to dry

Is this the right community for this post?

Its not a genuine question.

All the answers are jokes.

Seems more like an asklemmy thing.

[-] Boozilla@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Surprised we haven't heard from the germophobes that they use a gantry of hot air blowers, like you sometimes find at the end of an automated car wash.

[-] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

A,B,C,D,E, and F. I use the tag of the towel to determined the use of my towel. Tag always goes bottom right and that means my feet always go there to dry. Divide my towel to 4-5 sections and always use the same spot of the towel for the same parts.

I'm bald

I put on my bathrobe for a couple of minutes. Use the sleeves to dry my head/hair. That's pretty much it.

[-] scarabic@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

It’s almost entirely just a progression from top to bottom with the one exception that I do my face first because I need to see properly.

[-] heydo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Start at the top and move down. Any areas such as crotch, ass, and feet are dried with the end of the towel while the face is dried with the middle of the towel.
