I am going to be a freshman in college. What should I use for showers, a robe or a towel?

Question

P.S. I am a guy, if that changes anything.

Answer 1

A towel?

Answer 2

Whatever feels comfortable to you, as long as everything that should be covered is covered.

Answer 3

Well, I would first ask whether or not you're in a co-ed dorm.  If so, I'd recommend the robe.  Otherwise, whatever you feel comfortable with.

Answer 4

Soap......

You can't wash yourself with a robe.

Answer 5

You will need a towel to dry yourself off, and then put a robe on to walk to your room. If you are in a co-ed dorm hall, I'd get a robe for sure. I'm a girl and I think it'd be a little weird seeing a guy walking down the halls in a towel. Some girls will probably giggle. Plus, sometimes it gets a little cold so a robe can keep you warm. I will also be a freshman in college so I wish you all the best!

Answer 6

It depends a lot on the dorm. If it is exclusively male, with no female visitors hanging around, wrapping yourself in a towel would probably be acceptable. However, since most dorms these days have a lot of women around, or are co-ed, a robe would be more appropriate. When I was in college, I always wore a robe to go to the showers.

Also, from a hygiene point of view, you should always wear shower thongs ("flip-flops"), even in the shower. Dorm showers are notoriously filthy; even when they look clean, they are nasty places. Athlete's Foot (Tinea Pedis) is very uncomfortable and tough to get rid of. Also remember to dry your feet completely when you get back to your room, and never, ever put socks on if your feet are wet. Use of a foot powder designated to prevent Athlete's Foot is a good idea as well.

Good luck in school.

Answer 7

I'm a girl, but I used both - walked into the bathroom in my robe, dried off in the shower with the towel, then put my robe on to go back to my room. It's up to you really. If you're ok with people seeing you in a towel there's nothing wrong with that either.

Answer 8

WEAR YOUR BIRTHDAY OUTFIT. WEAR WHAT YOU WERE BORN WITH...

Answer 9

get a terry cloth robe to wear to and from the shower and a towel to dry you off .  Put the robe back on and return to your room where you can put on your clothes. the dorm shower is not a good place to get dressed. no room,or place to put your clean clothes. the less you take to the shower the better.  you will need a pair of shower shoes (flip flops) too.

Answer 10

Towel for drying and towel snapping...robe for roaming the halls

Answer 11

if you are game enough bare it all and have fun I'm sure others will follow

Answer 12

ummm... idk eew dont ask me!

Answer 13

Just run around naked.

Answer 14

Did you not have showers in high school?

Answer 15

Robe is best. Also a pair of flip flops or shower shoes. You will need both to walk from your room to the shower and back.

Answer 16

A robe is more appropriate.

Answer 17

Towel is fine.

Answer 18

Towels are fine... unless you like to lounge around before or after showering, or whatever else... then a robe might be a better idea.

Having both is never a bad idea.
