My husband teases me because I use two towels when I get out of the shower. I use one to wrap my hair and then one for my body. He uses one for both so teases me about liking to make extra laundry. I had an exe that used three. He didn't like the feel of the bathmat when it got wet so put one on the floor, wrapped his hair with one and then one for his body.

So it got me curious how many towels do the majority of people use per shower/bath? I know it's an odd question but I'm bored and curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction of knowing brought it back

I just use one, because I don't wrap my hair up. I have a bath mat on the floor that I can stand on.

I voted 3 cuz i'm counting the washcloth. Hair is a woman's crowning glory. Does he use the same towel that he dries his butt with, to dry his face after he shaves?!

I use one towel. Then I wrap it around myself to go weigh myself or get clothes out of the laundry room. It drives my mom nuts when I walk around in just a towel.

2 one for my hair, one for my body. I don’t count the wash cloth but I use one, plus a scrunchy.

One. I use wrap up turban type of thing for my wet hair

My husband is nearly bold or closely shaved so not much for him to wrap in a towel, so he uses one as well

I use only one for my body and hair. I wring out my hair while in the shower, towel off my body and then wrap my wet hair in the same towel. I use the hair dryer to dry my "nooks and crannies"

I live in an apartment, so I don't have the space to hang multiple towels to dry, and throwing a damp towel in the laundry hamper is disgusting. I also don't have my own washer and dryer so I need to be economical with how many towels I have on the go.

We had two towels hanging. When i became a teenager and more aware, i started carrying a towel from my room to the bathroom for my baths. Its not how my cousins lived. My dad wasnt exactly Martha Stewart! My mom was Fred Flintstone.

2. One for me and one to wipe down the shower walls. When I wipe down the walls it leaves a perpetually clean shower stall.

Growing up my whole family used the same towel and washcloth. I was an adult before I knew other people did anything different.

If I had my own washer and dryer and disposable income, I'd be using ALL THE TOWELS! Love fresh towels straight out of the dryer.

I use one bath towel and also have one of those towel-like twisty things for my hair. I reuse bath towels at least a couple times. I don't feel that a brand new towel per shower is necessary unless it gets soiled or dirty in some way.

Not a pretty picture!

I'm a guy, so only use one, but have a hand towel to wipe my face with when I shave!
