When I get out of the shower, I like to know (okay, I NEED to know) which end of the towel is up. Not a big deal for a freshly washed towel…but I don’t use a freshly washed towel every time, so if I over-think things I get all heeby-jeebied out. “Okay…this part dried WHERE before…and I’m using it on my FACE now???”
To make all things right with the world – I always make sure that the towel tag is on the lower right-hand side. Heaven forbid if that dang tag ever comes off…
I’ve seen the “Butt – Face” towels…but these are all wrong. You wrap a towel around you LENGTH-wise, not WIDTH-wise, so with these towels, half the butt part and half the face part are still in the wrong area!
Should I also mention here that I rinse off my soap before using it…?

Don’t worry, this is normal. I hope. I won’t let anyone, including my husband, even use my soap. If we have guests staying with us, I throw away my soap when they leave, just in case they used it (although I put out a fresh soap for them, I’m always worried they just used mine anyway).
Wait a second, you said you just got out of the shower, right? So doesn’t that mean that you’re clean ALL over? Or do you skip one or two spots when you’re showering? lol
Personally I’m even fine with using the towel after my significant other (because I feel she’s clean also). As for the soap after guests, putting out some soap from a hotel (that you hadn’t used) or leaving out liquid soap would probably work for that.
Note to self: next time I’m at your house I have to remove all the tags from your towels. 😉
This is very funny. I could see a stand up comedian saying this.
good stuff
Ok, that’s a bit like me that washes the soup a 100 times or rather use liquid soap if anybody but me or the hubby are using our shower at the moment.
And hiding my facecloth to make sure nobody else is using it. Or freaking out when the hubby uses one the kiddos facecloths on the wrong kid!
Found your blog in a round about way…This was too funny! I won’t use a towel twice even though it means I do a load of towels everyday, unless I know it was only used on hair. I seem to have a weird towel ranking in my head…Kids can reuse…husband reuses his – grosses me out! I cannot reuse mine…I just can’t! So, I must be weirder than you. As for the soap, I wash it off first too or I buy myself fancy body wash that no one else wants to use. Thanks for making me laugh today, I needed it!
I can totally understand this concern, especially when my kids wipe God-knows-what on our towels. Lately, Cakes likes to wipe her snotty nose on anything nearby, and I just really am not interested in drying my face with a booger towel!
Oh you have given me a good giggle over this one. You are not alone, who has time to wash towels every day to have a fresh one every day…especially in my household. Once again thanks for the giggle.
