Cos they are bastard hot!! I don't need to reheat after a showerYorick wrote: Sun Jun 28, 2026 11:41 am I'm surprised nobody else uses a towelling dressing gown.
As soon as you put it on, you've dried about 75% of your body.
I wished I'd had one for all the freezing cold bathrooms in my youth.

Cheaper ones are available - look at the price before the sale!
I have some BIG bath towels which wrap around for decency incase I have visitors or take them somewhere when I visit. B-b-b-but...with that bathrobe one can pop yer curlers in and float around in it all day like Hilda Ogden after a football pools win.Noggin wrote: Sun Jun 28, 2026 12:15 pmHonestly don't see the pointCount Steer wrote: Sun Jun 28, 2026 12:12 pmNice linen bathrobe?Noggin wrote: Sun Jun 28, 2026 11:45 am

I had to but the towelling robe purely for the first rehab centre cos we did pool therapy and changed in our rooms - better coverage for going to and from the pool down the corridors
for linen bath towels rather than towelling here.

do you think I'm girlie or summat ?? I just wander around with the big bath towel wrapped around me and a smaller one around me head 
I gave up with bamboo stuff (used to buy things from a clothing outfit called BAM) when I found it was a semi-synthetic and not every producer is as careful with the waste chemicals as they should be. Mr Dazzle's employers looked at using it in their vehicles but, iirc, gave up as it was too difficult to validate the eco credentials. Not that a lot of cotton is any better in many respects.

I really want to try some bamboo towels , but the towels I've got don't need replacing, soooo . . . . probably won't

Does anyone still use curlers?
Sod that, we have seperate bathrooms so sharing a towel is never an issue.IccyV2 wrote: Sun Jun 28, 2026 6:20 amVom.The Martian wrote: Thu Jun 25, 2026 11:42 amYou only need to smell an invisible skid mark while drying your face once and you'll never share a towel or use it the wrong way around again..gremlin wrote: Thu Jun 25, 2026 9:18 am
I can only look on in awe of that level of organisation in terms of towel area specifics.
Wouldn't work in our en-suite as we share whatever towel is to hand (not at the same time, obviously) so I could be rubbing Mrs. G's feet on my face first thing in the morning. Or worse.
That’s why I’d never consider using a towel twice.
Take one off the pile, use it even if it’s just for a shave, and drop it in the linen basket on the way out.
Rubbing someone else’s skin cells all over your body is minging.
