Both are clean so what’s the problem?
The butt is the dirtiest part of the body so I usually just remove yesterdays towel from my ass and then insert today’s towel right up there while shaking like a dog to air dry
Umh…I usually take showers to get clean. So, when I´m done showering (read: when I have successfully finished the task of cleaning my whole body), I use a towel to dry my now clean body. Since my whole body is clean now, I do not distinct between single body parts, because, as previously mentioned, they are all equally clean now.
Hey everybody! This guy touches his butt!
Butt toucher! Butt toucher!
This. And I use more soap on my ass and balls than about anywhere else on my body JUST TO BE EXTRA CLEAN.
But now your chest is less clean and you will end up re-dirtying the EXTRA CLEAN areas.

I can’t tell if this is displaying correctly, so here’s a couple links

First it redirects me (301) to a similar url but at images.lemmy.zip
Then the second url gives an internal server error (500).The other links work.
The links certainly work.
Perfect Dilbert reference, friend. Lol
I just wish Adams hadn’t gone bananas
Tag side = balls
Non tag side = faceIt’s not that hard lol
I always put the tag in the top left corner holding it up. Otherwise the same.
So, what is so holly with the female genitalia that they have to ask this question?
Their junk is a bigger hazard if anything. My penis ain’t leaking blood or mucus most of the time.
Ladies, do you have a special towel to dry your ass crack?
I guess it’s the whole internal vs. external thing

Additional advantage: using separate towels makes each one less wet, therefore they dry faster. In terms of hygiene I bet mold is significantly worse than using only one towel.
One side face and hair, other side body and crotch.
You dry your balls first, then your ass. Then, you get in the shower. After the shower, you use the same towel again to re-apply your musk. Women love it.
You shower fucking properly so that it doesn’t matter wtf
Correct
No, cause I wash the fucking towel like a civilized human being.
You use a fresh towel every day?
Yes, because I’m not a fucking animal.
That’s kinda of wasteful isn’t it? Washing a perfectly good towel after a single usage.
If the body was cleaned correctly, you could just air dry and use it like 2 to 3 times.
I use two towels per week, and they never smell bad before I put them for washing.
That’s kinda of wasteful isn’t it? Washing a perfectly good towel after a single usage.
i’m doing a load of whites once a week regardless, so no, its not wasteful.
Do you shower once a week?
you do realize a washing machine can wash more than one towel at a time… right?
I see, if you are using the same amount of water regardless, I think that’s reasonable
Don’t newer washers auto detect the load size? And if so, wouldn’t larger load mean more weight, and therefore more energy used?
I mean, when you use a towel to dry off your clean body, does it dirty the towel that much?
and you leave it hanging in the bathroom until next time you use it, ever done research on how much shit… both literal and metaphorical, gets launched into the air every time you flush?
a closed lid reduces, but does not entirely prevent it, either.
Ehhh all of my clean towels hang too because my bathroom is so small the sink is in the hallway, and I don’t have space for another dresser in my bedroom. Something something old house problems. I can worry about cleanliness of towels in the next house in 1-10 years
- No clothes remain hanging in the bathroom.
- Towels have a separate hanging place in an airy place (at least I wish they did. I just make do with the gymnastics bars)
- Toothbrushes are taken out after use and air dried (or momentum dried?) before returning them to their compartment, which is also outside the bathroom
- The only things that remain in the bathroom are shampoos and soaps
- No clothes remain hanging in the bathroom.
You really are though
This is such an american question.
It’s after a shower. At that point your balls should be as clean as your face, or you’re doing it wrong.
You would be shocked how bad most people are at cleaning themselves. They think just being under running water is enough or only wash upper with soap and the “rest runs down and gets washed”
Been washing my balls n ass since junior high and guys would look at me like I’m insane when i mentioned i shampoo downstairs, is how i came to find out most of them don’t even do basic soap let alone scrub down there
Shampoo’s not for body hair. You’re better off with body wash or regular soap.
Idk it works pretty great on my pubic hair, makes it much softer. I’m not over here using it on like my arms legs etc but my bush appreciates it
Instead of showering I just roll around in garbage, it fortifies the skin against bees and keeps dangerous people away. It keeps all other kinds of people away too which is a nice bonus.
Yeah, I use shampoo on my balls, ass, front, armpits and hair. Back is a pain so I don’t and I pretend the arms and legs don’t exist cuz I can’t be bothered.
Shampoo is specialized detergent in solution, you can just use regular soap if you don’t care about damaging the hairs. Also, hot take, most shampoos aren’t worth it in the first place over bar soap if you have short hair.
Now if you do want your pubes and ass hairs conditioned that’s another thing but you also need to be using conditioner for curly hair the structure of the follicles is different.
It’s generally recommended not to clean your hair too often with shampoo anyways I think. Some people substitute the shampoo, with only conditioner sometimes.
Interesting, didn’t know those details, I’ll try it out with just a bar of soap, but I did find that I enjoy e.g. the feeling of my hair when I use my current shampoo (Head & Shoulders) instead of some others, and I feel like it’d be significantly easier to spread with a liquid shampoo rather than a bar of soap.
You should get one of those Japanese exfoliating washcloths. They’re long enough to get your back easily.
Exactly
You just got out of a shower. If you washed well, what’s it matter?
There are two camps on this one, both have valid points:
- different bacteria live on different parts of the body, makes sense to use different towels for different parts of the body that don’t come into contact much
- if when you leave the shower you feel that you can’t use one towel for the whole body you should go back to the shower
Counterpoint to 1: Your microbiome is massive. You are constantly emitting bacteria. It surrounds you in a cloud like Pig Pen from the Peanuts comics. The reason you have different bacteria on your face and balls is not because they can’t get from one place to the other; it is because they can’t survive/compete there.
If you’re still hung up about your own towel, have you ever considered the implications of oral sex? How is it too whatever to intermingle your own bacteria upon yourself, but it’s perfectly acceptable to subject your partner to an even more invasive bacterial exchange. And if even that extent of biome crossover was sufficiently meaningful, why doesn’t my face smell like pussy yet?
|why doesn’t my face smell like pussy yet?|
You aren’t eating enough pussy. Everyone should eat more pussy. Pussy is fucking delicious.
My cat would disagree lol. She is such a sweet fluff ball.
Um, there is no pussy eating on grindr.
Clearly everyone should also suck more dick. Or at least increase the amount of oral sex they engage in.
Quite right. Mmm tasty gock 🤤
Get yourself a nice trans boy.
Counterpoint to 2: I’m just paranoid
You never leave your shower?🥺
What about the bacteria in the towel?
If you are using certain sections of a towel specifically for certain body parts, you dont know what germ theory is.
To avoid using the same are for my butthole before my face, I always use the left side of the towel on my upper body and the right side on my lower body. I always keep the left side on the left so I can keep track.
I hope my balls are clean after I shower.
this, if anyone os worried about the hygiene of towels, that means they aren’t confident on their shower.
if you’re clean it doesn’t matter if your dry yer anus first.
Ok, but also no, because how many times are you going to use a “clean” towel to dry off? I usually use it twice then wash it.
I am under the assumption that if I am clean, then the drying towel will be clean, I wash it after a while, but if it gets dirty, its because I need to shower better.
I have always used the same towel for everything but I do realize now that I pick the towel off the rack and place it over my head the same way, making it so my head gets dried with the “top” of the towel legs with the bottom, and it gets put back on the rod the same direction. So it is possible the ball section of the towel never touches my face, that said… I wouldnt be worried about it anyways. I’m not exactly scared of balls, and they aren’t naturally acidic and even a vaginas acidity (~tomato) level, isn’t dangerous for our skin.
