Except for your mom doing the laundry, maybe.
If you shave your body hair you can probably get dry (other than your hair) with like 3 washcloths for most people. Isolating to the US its probably closer to 5 to handle the extra surface area. Maybe 6 if they’re out of shape enough to start sweating while they dry off.
You’re not wrong with the increased surface area, maybe even lowballing it lol
Some people are also just cursed. I had manager get mad at me once when i worked fast food for how many paper towels it took to actually dry my hands, my skin just clings to water like crazy
A tip for that: shake your fingers into the sink 12 times before drying. You should only need one paper towel this way.
Yeah, most towels are unnecessarily big, for the amount of moisture they’re required to absorb. I simply folded the towel in half (as wash cloths are double too), which fitted 4x5 of them haha.
Nothing is stopping you from just walking through a car wash. Don’t forget the hot wax!
Gotta have that hot Brazilian wax
Thats not true. They’ve got a guy named Ronnie. Hes a big Jamaican dude, and every time I try, he yells what cha doin, Mon? Then hits the big red button, stopping the shower, he drags me out of there shaking his head and clicking his tongue.
My children know how to do their own laundry.
There you go, free to shower as inefficiently as they see fit.
I automate the drying process by attaching wash cloths to two large rotating cylinders and standing between them, getting lightly battered
Yeah, I’ve heard it’s not best for one’s outer coating, it might get flaky at times
Umm maybe you should go back into the shower and find a better thought 😆
I can’t. I ran out of wash cloths
😂
Also I’d be cold and I don’t want to
Showering longer and hotter heats the room ;)
pls im already using all the hot water in the tank and I can’t legally get a bigger one
Common sense does. And economical situation also.
Army and hospital towels are tiny, and after spending loads of time in both I’m sure I could get hy with only one washcloth. Well, at least if I cut my hair again.
Interesting. If my hair is short, and I wipe most water off my body, maybe I could manage that too. I do like how the conversation is gradually shifting to drying efficiency haha
Sanity.
What is this “sanity” you speak of?
Other than common sense.

Interestingly, some people don’t live in their mum’s basement and have to do their own laundry.

Can’t image what that must be like, that sound difficult…

It is very difficult. I tend to let it collect until I start running out of clean stuff while hoping for the gnomes to do it for me. But they never actually do so :(
