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?
Generally top to bottom but don’t overthink it.

Yup I’ll just chime in to add I dry off while still standing in the shower to minimize wetness on my bathroom mat
Paradachshund@lemmy.today 2 months ago
Well, usually i take my underwear off first…
Troubleinmind@lemmy.wtf 2 months ago
It seems more efficient to wash it while you shower, no?

When I see a comment I like or a comment that makes me smile or a comment that I perceive as advancing the conversation - even if it doesn’t match the other two requirements - I upvote.
It’s pretty rare that I see a comment that gets a physical or vocal reaction out of me. This is only the second one I can remember on lemmy. Your comment made me literally guffaw. My opinion isn’t anything special, but it’s all I have to offer and I want to make sure you know you had an impact on me. Thank you.

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 2 months ago
No you leave on in the shower.

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.
rustydomino@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Pfft. No wet sanding with 1000, 2000, 4000, 8000. Amateur.
someguy3@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Top to bottom. Water runs downhill.
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
I use the side of my hand to squegee it all down, then just have to towel off a little dampness.
Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I just try to befriend the water and it vanishes.
OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
You mean to tell me y’all aren’t just standing in front of a huge, industrial fan to dry off?
Sanctus@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I dry my croch and ass first so I can get that fresh whiff when the towel goes to my face.
Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Head to toe, my dudes. Any other way is objectively wrong.
Nfamwap@lemmy.world 2 months ago

Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 months ago
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.
froh42@lemmy.world 2 months ago
xkcd.com/37/ oh wow, I need some. mind-bleach now.

Thanks for the LOL kind stranger, it’s been a while since going over the comments felt worthwhile like this.
cabbage@piefed.social 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.
ccunning@lemmy.world 2 months ago
But do you track the face and junk sides across showers?
cabbage@piefed.social 2 months ago
Yup! There's that thing you can hang the towel from, I consider that side "up".
Devices this system as a child, I have honestly never stopped to think about whether it's reasonable or not.
Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The tag or label on the towel.

I just shake myself off like a dog.

It’s good twerking practice, too!
Microw@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Top to bottom but with D and E switched
Alteon@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I finish with the D too!
CodexArcanum@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.

The human car wash method
Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 months ago
That actually sounds glorious, especially if it makes a ding-a-ling copter on your way out.

Is this the right community for this post?
Its not a genuine question.
All the answers are jokes.
Seems more like an asklemmy thing.
GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Generally top to bottom, because otherwise drips from above will rewet areas you tried to dry
Boozilla@lemmy.world 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.
scarabic@lemmy.world 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.
frog_brawler@lemmy.world 2 months ago
B, A, C2, C3, C4, C1, D.
AA5B@lemmy.world 2 months ago
No e or f?
frog_brawler@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Indeed, I don’t dry those sections.
tobogganablaze@lemmus.org 2 months ago
I put on my bathrobe for a couple of minutes. Use the sleeves to dry my head/hair. That’s pretty much it.
not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 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
VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 2 months ago
From top down. I have a beard, and I use a hot brush to dry and straighten my beard so I don’t use a towel on my face.
GladiusB@lemmy.world 2 months ago
A to D. Let the rest air dry
Crackhappy@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I often just stand there until I stop dripping after a minute or so and just air dry.
sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
That sounds unhinged to me. Are you perhaps bald? My hair is really thick and not very porous so it holds water rediculously well. If I did that it’d take 30 minutes
Crackhappy@lemmy.world 2 months ago
No. I just have very fine hair.
heydo@lemmy.world 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.
Sidyctism2@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
big towel for lower body, small towel for upper body. big towel gets wrapped around hip after drying. but the order is correct
Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Top down, then beard for last to seal in the flavor.
spacemanspiffy@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Hair, beard, balls and ass.
I stopped drying the rest of my body since apparently I suffer from dry skin or something. Now I air dry.
wurstgulasch3000@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I had dry hands to the point of skin breaking open and bleeding until I realised that properly drying them after washing hands improved things. I think the water evaporating drys the skin or something
4th_Times_A_Charm@sopuli.xyz 2 months ago
You’re drying yourself off after cleaning yourself. If you cleaned yourself properly, it doesn’t matter what you dry first.
Archelon@lemmy.world 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 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.
thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 months ago
and top to bottom, like someone with a brain.
chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 2 months ago
So you dry off your butt first and then your face with the same towel?
midnight_puker@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Do you not wash your ass?
PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I start with drying my anus and work in concentric circles out from that, so yes, my face is about last
lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 months ago
I go top down but I’ve also been known to reuse towels for more than one day so … yea.
