I have 3.
One I use for a  week of daily  bathing .

One in the closet clean and ready to be rotated into service to replace the towel on daily duty

One in the car, surfing ,fishing  duty and this is also rotated into the the three towels duty service.

Others, I know have in excess of six or 8 towels!

The question I ask someone I love is wtf!
Who needs 8 towels!!!

It’s a sickness that needs to be bulk billed.
You don’t need any more than 3 towels in your life!

What is your view on towels?

And if you personally need more than 3 in your life ?
Post up, there is no judging in this thread- mental health issues manifest in many ways!

Only one - for throwing it in, at the end.

Let me ask you something …. Are you bald/partially bald/thinning hair?

Because I refuse to have less than 2 towels … one for body and one for hair.
I wrap the towel around my hair.
And I don’t reuse used towels… I put in laundry basket to wash… depending on wash load if enough in the day to use wash machine… and depending on weather if summer (towels dry within couple hours) or winter (towels dry overnight on clothes horse near wood heater, I hardly use dryer as it consumes too much power)
So I have 2 sets of 2 towels I use. 4 all up. But I have a shelf for many towels for hubby and visiting daughter. Then there’s the hand towels in bathroom, in toilet where hand basin is, in laundry where wash basin is, and in kitchen near sink.
Then there’s an emergency towel in car.
Oh and there’s the old towels near basin in shed for mechanic hands.
And then there’s beach towels of course! Including oodie striped towelling hooded top.

its the culture obviously but big business requires you to feel inadequate because then you will be a buyer trying to fill that empty feeling you have.

the culture , for instance, wants people isolated, hopefully divorced (because then the two people need double the number of towels, washing machines, tv's etc), lonely and looking for something to "numb the pain"

for some like marla its dope
for many people its grog
for others its netflix or porn
sugary foods also help calm the "craving " brain.

until people learn how awesome it is to feel in control of their lives and unplugged from the mattrix, they will always be consuming to try to ease their fears and anxiety.

only when you take "personal responsibility" for your emotional state can you give a big middle finger to the "system"

this requires you to move outside the herd

thats scarey

we are herd animals

but when the herd are basicly being played as suckers, you should do it.

if you want to find long term contentment from within

try sitting on a chair in an empty room for 6 hours with no distractions

if you can do it and remain calm, you are learning the lessons that will build emotional strength

That must be rank after a week(7days)

Our towels are washed Mondays and Fridays.

In a wet week more often.

We generally shower twice a day.  You?

We have a linen cupboard with 8 or 10 towels, 4 or 5 foot mats and washers - usually come in bath set.

You need extra towels when  family and guests come to stay.

We have quite a few old towels for sopping up spills

and half a dozen beach towels.

A person should own as many phukking towels as they like.

I have a drawer full of towels some haven't been used for years.

I have some for after shower one in the car a couple of beach towels

We have more towels than I could count.
Extra large beach towels for when you're actually hanging out at the beach.
Small stripey pool towels for when you go for a swim and just need it to dry off.

Now to bath towels. When we buy new towels, we get a whole bunch and buy a new colour and the newest ones are saved for best, either guests and the girls in the house use those.

The next oldest set, girls can use those if they want but the boys of the house are encouraged to use those, and are also used to chuck on the bathroom floor when it's wet.

Next are the much older ones that have gotten thin and hard, I actually like those as they give a good back scratch. The girls wouldn't use them if their life depended on it, but the boys of the house don't care, plus we use them to dry the dog and cleanup random spills.

When they get really old, they go to the place towels go to die, my shed and are used for cleaning motorbikes, paint drop sheets etc etc.
