Is it safe to re use towels after you get out of the shower?

Question

I was wondering if it was germy or not to dry off with the same towel every day after taking a shower?

Answer 1

Yes why not if it's just you.

Answer 2

Why not. Your body is clean . I reuse mine a couple times. Sometimes it seems like we are getting to germ sensitive.

Answer 3

Use a towel a couple of times, but remember, you body sheds millions of dead skin cells every day.  When you shower or bathe, you remove most of these dead cells, but more are wiped off on the towel.

I wouldn't use the same towel more than three times.

Answer 4

Kden:  I always use my towel a couple of times, with the cost of water and Electricity I  try to conserve any way  I can.

Answer 5

I use to think it was germy, but then logic won out. I use my towels at least twice and sometimes three times before putting them in the wash. As long as all you're doing is drying your clean body you should be okay to re-use your towel. Just make sure you hang it so it can dry out completely between uses.
