Less wet towels

Ticklemouse

I use everything

I use a large hand towel/small bath towel for my hair, a bath towel for me which then gets hung on the rad and I finish off by putting on my chunky towelling robe so that by the time I'm ready for getting dressed, I'm completely dry.

Pink.

I'm afraid I went to Ticklemouse's school of drying. The bathroom looks like a disaster area when I leave.

I can recommend the microfibre hair drying turbans that you tend to find in pound shops. They draw out water from even very thick hair without any rubbing - and so save getting sopping patches on big towels. They dry more quickly than cotton too.

They stay on securely (fastened with a button and loop) and double as a way of keeping hair out of your face for putting on cosmetics.

I'm not sure they'd do for those of you with hair down to your waists - and some are made a bit too small for those of us with big heads ... - but generally a really good idea.

Me too! I usually need a minimum of a bath towel to wrap it up in, and even than I still have some hanging out! I actually cut around 6in off the bottom this morning and it's still way down past my waist! :eek:

It was badly in need of a trim though as I haven't seen a hairdresser in over a year

Wow! Mine's nowhere near that long but I used to have it all shaved off when I was a teenager. (total tomboy) So now that it's below my shoulders I think I'm Rapunzel!

I go to the hairdresser every 8 or 9 months. It's why I have it so long (easier to manage and cheaper too!)

Neither is mine, but my husband's is always soaking - I sometimes think he must take it in the shower with him! Result is: damp bath towel hanging round the bathroom all day, and I end up washing it more often. I have often suggested he 'drip-dry' a while after a shower before towelling himself down and he gets a bit irritated - don't think I dare suggest a rub down with a face flannel!! lol! This thread is great!

I usually just wipe down with my hands to get excess water off, and I also have some extra THIN towels for winter. They dry quicker, honest

Well my point about doing so in the winter is to save money. Washing and drying towels is more expensive in winter if we cant dry them outside. They dry off unattended in the summer-but anyhow-once the habit is established, you will do it every time!

Well I have another tip-you go give him a rub-down!

Penny-Pincher!!

My mums always done this, but this thread has just reminded me. Will pass on the wise wisdom to OH and DD next time they have a bath or shower-should help the towels not to get washed as much..lol
