I've been using the same 2 towels for about a week and a half
The one is starting to smell though, so yeah..gonna have to do laundry soon I'll use a towel maybe twice or so depending on how damp it gets until I get to my last one
I'll reuse that shit forever

Only in certain circumstances. There are times where I bathed and later that night find a need to go sit in a hot tub of water and just relax more or less, in that case I won't use a new towel for that. I'll take the one I just used earlier.
In general, no. I know I'm going to regret sharing this, but growing up, me and my grandparents all used the same rag for bathing for around a week. I don't mean we had 3, I mean we all used the same one. . Eventually I got old enough to realize how disgusting and bizarre this was, as a 5 year old, it was just normal, somewhere around 8-10 I was able to analyze the situation and realize I was washing my face with a rag that had been all over their asses and genitals.
Since that period, I have a huge problem reusing bathing related stuff.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

I usually use them 3-5 times then put it outside the shower as a bathmat type thing, and then when the next towel is cycled in I take the one off the floor and put it in the laundry basket.
So it goes: washed & folded>hung on a hook and used until it smells slightly mildewey>folded in half on the floor right outside my shower so I don't get my wet footsies cold>laundry basket>washed & folded
Such is the cycle of the life of a bath towel

I use my towel for weeks at a time. I don't own a washing machine and I find no problem with it. I mean when I get out of the shower I am already clean, right?

I use it for two days. On The third it replaces the towel that's on the ground that I stand on once I get out of the shower, gets washed on day 4

I used to use a fresh towel everytime I took a shower when I used to live with my folks but what I didn't realize is that you are clean when you are done showering so I just started using the same towel for 3 days at least.

I use the same towel for at least 3 showers and then throw it in the dirty clothes hamper. I only have a 3 towel rotation so my bullpen of shower towels isn't very deep. The trick to reusing shower towels without them smelling is to make sure you dry them immediately. Don't throw it on your bed half wet, smoke a bowl, forget about it, and then hang it up an hour later.

here's what you do, you get a bar to hang your towels on, not everyone has one so thats why im saying this.
anyways you put 2 towels on it ok, so you get out of the shower, dry off, you put your towel on the right side of the bar. Fast forward, next time you take a shower, you take the used towel into the shower with you and you soap it up and use it to wash with, then rinse it out, strain the water out, hang it on the bar to dry, then u get out, use the other towel to dry off.
The point is, your in a dam washing machine practically anyway, no need to put your towels in the washer and dryer, just wash them as you wash

unless you are unclean after bathing there is no reason to not reuse a towel no?

I generally throw them in the wash when I'm done. My hair is pretty long and the one I use to dry my hair generally is soaked by the time I'm done and that has to go in the wash, leaving wet stuff out to sit, even if you sling it over the shower to dry can funk it up good and proper so I just toss any others I use into the wash with that one.
I have a lot of towels though. I don't know how people get by with just one or two. I use three just to dry myself and my hair off fully.

I hang my towel then put a fan on it before I head out the door to work, that way it gets dry and doesn't get mildew funk.

I think it's all gravy as long as you avoid the funk, whether or not you reuse them, but it's just too easy for me to throw them in my laundry room for me not to.

I use them until they start to smell a little, so 5 or 7 times. As long you throw them up to dry right after they stay clean for quite a while.

I reuse my towel because I don't bother with washing it every time, that's ridiculous. I wash each towel somewhere between weekly and bi-weekly

I use 2 different towels on a cycle for both of my daily showers. One in the morning and one after the gym.
I'm thinking of getting a fan and rack to dry them off quicker and more thoroughly. The faster the dry the less time cultures have to form on them.

As long as I remember to hang it up to dry promptly and it doesn't get funky, I'll use the same towel for weeks. If I forget to hang it up to dry though, usually I'll wash it before I use it again.

You can use the same one for a while if... You are clean when you get out of the shower, don't share your towel with anyone, and you hang it up straight so it can completely dry properly

I usually use one for two weeks, hang for a good open air-dry each time. Hell I just got out of a shower, squeaky clean.
