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?
You're drying yourself off after cleaning yourself. If you cleaned yourself properly, it doesn't matter what you dry first.
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.
Apparently a lot of other peeps in the comments are continually leaking from their orifices or something
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?
I do, but I still wouldn’t do that!
Clean your ass better.
Doesn’t matter! Could get that thing NASA clean room levels of clean and I’m still not going to towel off my butt before my face. That’s just weird!
I go top down but I've also been known to reuse towels for more than one day so .... yea.
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
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 it 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. Learned that technique as a kid when I went to camp and only had a hand towel size for 2 weeks because of poor packing.
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?
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.
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.
D2, B
I dry my croch and ass first so I can get that fresh whiff when the towel goes to my face.
I just shake the water off like a dog.
It's good twerking practice, 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
Top to bottom but with D and E switched
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.
Is this the right community for this post?
Its not a genuine question.
All the answers are jokes.
Seems more like an asklemmy thing.
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.
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
I just sit around in my bathrobe until I'm dry enough to put on clothes.
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
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.
