Every towel I have ever used has a tag on it, that's the crotch end, dry your face with the other end.

Of course not! I lick it clean first!

One side face and hair, other side body and crotch.

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

Do you use one towel or a fresh towel everyday.

I have a fresh towel everyday. My current partner thinks I am absolutely insane for this. A 6 pack of basic decent bath towels is $35 shipped online. My partner came from a more affluent family than me and makes more money than me but I still think this is worth spending $35 on once every like 5-7 years until the towels wear out.

Their argument is that you come out of the shower clean but that’s not really true. You come out less dirty still with bacteria, skin mites, dead skin cells, fungi, etc that get transferred to that towel. It’s probably fine to reuse it for a few days assuming the towel dries in between uses (which it may not, given the humid environment of a bathroom, especially if shared), that you don’t have weird situations going on (athletes foot, bacterial acne, etc), and that you’re not sharing it. But why bother when again a weeks worth of towels is like $40 and slightly more laundry. Yuck

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.

The trick is to put on your bathrobe, do other things, and when you're dry, manually dry the parts that weren't covered by the bathrobe. Maybe in the meantime I can do something else, which is more efficient.

If this isn’t enough to be clean, then I don’t know what is besides magma. Lol

Hmm... Two towels? One for body, one for head (hair and face).
