FH often uses a bath towel after I have used it (it's dry when he uses it). I think it's odd. His take is that since we're having sex anyway, we both have each other's germs anyway. What do you think?
lol FI tried to pull that with me too. I told him hell no. He gave me the same argument but I wasn't buying it. I believe guys are inherently dirtier than girls, even when they're clean. I want to be squeeky clean when I get out of the shower and not have boy germs on me :)
We use the same towel sometimes. We're both squeaky clean when we use it, so why not?
I see no issue with it - you are both clean when using it!
I wouldn't want to share all the time because then the towel would always be wet! But I don't see a problem every now and then!
Sometimes when we put the same color towels up by accident, we use each others towels without knowing it.. but who cares.. he can have all my germs lol and I don't mind any of his.
I think its gross, but I also won't use the same towel twice for myself which drives FH (and some of ya'll from other posts I've seen) CRAZY! I know I'm clean when I use it but I want a clean towel every time!
ummm... this may be TMI, but I have seen J dry his bum on his towel (he gets pretty darn personal!) and there is NO WAY I'm going to dry my body or hair with a towel he's used, hahaa...
we use the same towel pretty often. I've never even thought twice about it. there are a lot grosser things that we do, (i.e. using each other's toothbrush), so the towel use is really not even the tip of the ice burg for me.
Haha, I think if my hub was like realllly getting personal with the towel it'd be gross but he just pats himself dry or wraps it around his waist.
But I'm also a big believer in the hygeine hypothesis, so a little dirt definately doesn't hurt IMO
We usually keep 3 towels hanging up that we both use. I have no problem sharing with him and don't feel an cleaner or dirtier either way. But we share EVERYTHING!! I am not a germophobe at all so that would never bother me.
I'm with daydreamwanderer as well. It would gross me out and besides, we have an entire linen closet full of fresh clean towels - there's really no need to share.
If he ever tried to use my toothbrush, it would be an absolute dealbreaker. Just thinking about it makes me nauseous.
We pretty much each use our own towels. We both wash after 2 uses so thats nice, we are on the same schedule.
For the most part, we each use our own towels since we usually shower in different bathrooms. All of my toiletries are in our guest bathroom because our baby sleeps in our room and when I'm up at 5AM showering for work, I don't want to wake her. But, on occasion, when I'm in our master bathroom I will use his towel. We're both clean people who shower quite frequently and it's a non-issue for us. We also share our towels with the baby...because who would worry about sharing a towel with a 22 month old? Now sharing a toothbrush is another story...
We both have our own bathrooms (hall and master bath) so we have our own towels. If we did share a bathroom, I would assume we would use our own, but it wouldn't bother me if he or I shared once in awhile or even more. We're clean after showers, so I don't see why there would be any issue. Plus, we exchange alot more germs in public. Public doors, gas station pumps (eww!)...using my husband's towel would be on the lowest of my germ worries...
we share towels all the time! it doesnt bother us. We'll usually shower one right after the other so we just use each others. oh well. Maybe it's just me, but I dont see anything wrong with it lol we just got out of the shower and we're clean!
Our towels look exactly the same so I'm sure we end up using the same towel 50% of the time! The only thing I have an absolute no no on sharing is a toothbrush (FI is the same way).
I don't see a problem with it at all! Is that weird? I never thought so...
*Gross is a couple I know that shares a toothbrush, and they only brush their teeth in the morning. And he "dips" all day. Vomit.
ok, i guess i'm gross...he takes his bath in the morning and hangs his towel to dry - I usually end up using it at night to dry my hair. :p
so no - i don't particularly find it gross. lol
ETA: course my husband finds it gross - but he also doesn't understand how the two of us, in general, have SO much laundry...which is WHY i use his towel for my hair at night! :p
sorry i think thats nasty. clean or not, its your towel. i dont want to be drying my face on something he might have dried his twig and berries with....
Um, I guess if you share toothbrushes, you could share towels, but that is not for me!
I don't mind him using mine and me using his but we don't do it. Not because of cleanliness but because of scent. He uses manly-smelling stuff while I use fruity/floral stuff in the bathroom. The scent gets on the towels and clash.
most boys are just nasty and don't care. I don't wanna share...ewwww.
@daydreamwanderer:Exactly!
@spaganya: LMAO!
This doesn't bother me but he doesn't do it very often...he is pretty clean :)
reading over everyone responses makes me realize that maybe our level of "closeness" is not normal although I always thought it was. We just don't find anything gross. All bodily functions are ok and we are ok sharing pretty much everything. I really can't think of one thing that he would do that would gross me out. i'm weird.
We use the same towel all the time and I think nothing of it. But Fi doesn't seem to smell at all - even after a long day of yardwork, so maybe that's why I don't mind. BUT I do make sure he washes his hands everytime he's out (even if it's just from the office or the store) and he's not allowed to hop in bed with any outside clothes on! I don't like mixing outside funk with our inside funk ... (makes no kinda sense, I know)!
@Meowkers: your so not weird! we're the same way! we share everything and just about nothing grosses us out. Maybe we're way to comfortable... which is def not a bad think imo!
Even if you are squeaky clean, when you rub down or even pat down, with a towel you are leaving behind millions and millions of skin particles... which then precede to decay.. on/in the towel fibres..
Okay, I just squicked myself out thinking about it.
(yes,yes, I am slightly neurotic).
I see no problem with other people/couples doing this, but it is not for me.
EW I hate when FI uses my towel. Sometimes he wipes his wet face on it after he's brushed his teeth and I give him sh*t!!!!!!!! He never uses it after a shower, just to piss me off because he knows I hate when he wipes his face on it. Hands, fine, but face NO! lol
Sharing towels was on a do not do list during one of Dr. Oz's shows.
We normally have our own towels. Once I took his because they were the same color and I wasn't paying attention.
We have body towels and we have face towels. The only thing we don't do is mix those up =]. But i don't freak about drying myself off with a towel after he has unless it's damp. then it just feels icky and goes in my hair.
I don't think it is gross, but for some reason I like that we each have our own towels.....
i have never even thought about it. we use the same towels all the time.
