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?
I often just stand there until I stop dripping after a minute or so and just air dry.
That sounds unhinged to me. Are you perhaps bald? My hair is really thick and not very porous so it holds water rediculously well. If I did that it’d take 30 minutes
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
Top to bottom but with D and E switched
I finish with the D too!
You’re drying yourself off after cleaning yourself. If you cleaned yourself properly, it doesn’t matter what you dry first.
Apparently a lot of other peeps in the comments are continually leaking from their orifices or something
I don’t need pubic hair in my face. I’ll start from the top and work down. Not sure why people are so compelled to argue.
If you feel the need to floss your ass then hit your face, by all means you do you.
Ok, but if you do ass last, you’re still just getting ass on face the next day.
It’s assface all the way down
I don’t need pubic har in my face.
Speak for yourself.
Speak for yourself.
I believe that’s what everyone was doing, but it seemed to upset some people for some reason.
Maybe they’re drying someone else off, don’t kink-shame.
and top to bottom, like someone with a brain.
So you dry off your butt first and then your face with the same towel?
I start with drying my anus and work in concentric circles out from that, so yes, my face is about last
Ye olde Zen Garden technique, a classic.
I go top down but I’ve also been known to reuse towels for more than one day so … yea.
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!
So you change your towels every time? Otherwise when you start again, the last time you used it, you wiped your butt with it.
No. Do you?
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.
Question was targeted at men
Luckily I am a man.
PREPOSTEROUS, MEN DONT HAVE HAIR
This just in, men don’t have hair
It was an attempt to joke about it, nothing offensive. Picturing it doing this in that order, with a bathrobe and then having the relaxed time to work on the hair isn’t really relatable for me. Also, i never met a men yet who refers to its beard as hair (beard hair vs hair)
Don’t feel bad, my thoughts were similar to yours.
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.
But do you track the face and junk sides across showers?
The tag or label on the towel.
Yup! There’s that thing you can hang the towel from, I consider that side “up”.
I deviced this system as a child, I have honestly never stopped to think about whether it’s reasonable or not.
(A, 1/2 B, C1-4, 1/2 D2, E1) then (1/2 B, E2, F) finally (D1, 1/2 D2)
I put on my hooded terry cloth bathrobe that simultaneously dries hair, head, neck, torso and legs above the knees. Wipe face, lower legs and feet. Remove robe and dry genitals and butt crack.
Using a single sheet towel.
B, A, using one whole side of the towel. Then fold it in half with the dry side out. Shoulders/begin C3, C4, C1, finish C3/C2, D2, D1, E1, E2, F, all with one side of the towel. Then flip it and use the dry outer side to do a quick pass in the same order.
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…
Generally top to bottom, because otherwise drips from above will rewet areas you tried to dry
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!
Top down, then beard for last to seal in the flavor.
Is this the right community for this post?
Its not a genuine question.
All the answers are jokes.
Seems more like an asklemmy thing.
You mean to tell me y’all aren’t just standing in front of a huge, industrial fan to dry off?
I always start with my hair first, dry my back and upper body, then my legs. But then I keep a second towel for intimate areas, because why would you want to wipe your face with the same towel you wipe your ass with?
Wash your ass better.
This, if my ass isn’t clean enough for me to use the same towel, how could I ask anyone to go anywhere near it
