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?

Do you use one or more towels or washcloths?

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
Well, usually i take my underwear off first…
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?!
No you leave on in the shower.
As a fellow nevernude…
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.
Pfft. No wet sanding with 1000, 2000, 4000, 8000. Amateur.
Top to bottom. Water runs downhill.
I use the side of my hand to squegee it all down, then just have to towel off a little dampness.
I just try to befriend the water and it vanishes.
You mean to tell me y’all aren’t just standing in front of a huge, industrial fan to dry off?
Head to toe, my dudes. Any other way is objectively wrong.
I dry my croch and ass first so I can get that fresh whiff when the towel goes to my face.
D2, B
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.
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.
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.
But do you track the face and junk sides across showers?
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.
The tag or label on the towel.
I just shake myself off like a dog.
It’s good twerking practice, too!
Top to bottom but with D and E switched
I finish with the D too!
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
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.
Generally top to bottom, because otherwise drips from above will rewet areas you tried to dry
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.
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.
B, A, C2, C3, C4, C1, D.
No e or f?
Indeed, I don’t dry those sections.
I put on my bathrobe for a couple of minutes. Use the sleeves to dry my head/hair. That’s pretty much it.
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
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.
A to D. Let the rest air dry
I often just stand there until I stop dripping after a minute or so and just air dry.
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
No. I just have very fine hair.
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.
big towel for lower body, small towel for upper body. big towel gets wrapped around hip after drying. but the order is correct
Top down, then beard for last to seal in the flavor.
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.
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

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.

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.

and top to bottom, like someone with a brain.

So you dry off your butt first and then your face with the same towel?

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

I go top down but I’ve also been known to reuse towels for more than one day so … yea.
