Laundry costs too much in my building for a clean towel every time, so I average 3 uses.

I have been for about a week or less, but i'm going to start washing it more. I've got long hair and the towels get water locked and smell like shit after a few uses. I never realized it because i have a shit sense of smell, but my gf's been complaining I never really considered them that dirty because i only really use them to dry my hair.

bout a towel a week, as long as your bathroom gets some air it should be fine i think, keep it from getting moldy

Who uses a clean towel every time? That's so wasteful.
As long as you hang it up a towel is fine for like 2 weeks, easy.

For sure... It'll smell like mildew at like 21 days, then it's time to swap.
Mine hang above a heat vent, though... So I suspect that helps things.

I am ashamed of what I'm going to say, but I use the same towel every day and wash it maybe once a month... Is this bad??? I mean when I get out of the shower I am clean right?
Is this nasty?

I live in a house with four people, and there's an entire cupboard full of towels, so I use one or two clean towels every time.
It's not a waste, I hang them up and someone else reuses them. If they're okay with drying their faces with the same towel that I dried my balls and my ass with, that's their deal, but I'm not gonna' do that. Clean towels for me, thanks.

i have like 4-5 towels. I'll usually wash one with each load of laundry I do (once a week), and usually choose the one that smells bad.

Yea probably something like that. Give or take a couple days. Fresh towel every day would be cool, but that's a lot of laundry that I don't feel like doing. Nothing wrong with reusing a towel a few times. You only use them after you get clean in the first place.

I usually switch towels once a week.
I find white towels are a virtue. You can bleach white towels every few washes and keep em spiffy and clean.

I had no idea there were even people that used a clean towel every day. I go about a month, easy. That's about as often as I wash my bedsheets.

There's no where practical to really hang up towels in this house for reuse. I don't particularly like the idea of drying my face with a towel I've dried my ass with either. Even if it's "clean", it's still an ass.

When I was in my dorm I had 3 towels and I didn't wash them for 2 semesters straight. At home I usually use a new one unless I'd have to leave the bathroom to get a fresh one.

I'm just a single guy, live alone and have probably a dozen towels, I don't know why I bought so many for just me. I change towel about every 3 days, otherwise it starts to smell. Wash bedsheets every week like clockwork, I let my dog sleep in bed with me and she gets sheets/comforter nasty.....lol.

My wife uses towels once and puts them in the basket, which fucking keeps it full and I'm not tryin to do all that laundry! 
Growing up I was taught to re-use them, and when I was a teen I would use them till they started smelling like shit. Now that I live with a woman, well like I sad my wife throws all the dam towels in the basket.
For some reason if I leave a towel on the floor my female cat thinks it's a litter box

 Use the same towels for a week, they never smell like mildew. I change out the hand towel every few days because they will start to mildew.
Sheets and comforter once a week, but sometimes every other week if I'm busy on the weekend when I am usually doing laundry.
Edit- Oh, and I use patterned towels with the reverse pattern on each side, and I have one for my face and hair, and the another for the rest of me. I don't like second-hand teabagging myself, either.
Related- I don't know why all towels aren't as big as "bath sheets"

My preferred method of drying off after a shower is to strike a ginyu force pose in front of my space heater until I'm dry.

That's also how I pose in the shower when I want to wash my bum

I'll use it for at least a week or two. I always make sure to hang it up after, or throw it in the dryer for a few minutes with the clothes I'm going to wear. That not only dries out the towel to prevent mildew, but makes my clothes crisp & soft if they're a bit wrinkled.
After a while I can imagine there's quite a bit of dead skin that accumulates on/in the towel, along with hairs & other things the body sheds (even if clean), mildew, etc...so even if it smells fine and looks clean, I'll give it a wash after a week or two.

I use towels to dry my hand when I wash them.. Although I don't do anything to get em dirty really. But as soon as I use it after taking a shower, I grab another one.

I think its a strain on the environment when you shower more than once a year. Also you are murdering poor innocent towels with your balls every time you dry off.. Such a sad sad world.
