I was well into adulthood when I finally figured out why no bath towel ever seems absorbent enough.

  1. I'm ; so, any moisturev at all on my skin greatly bothers me.

  2. Skin soaks up water like a sponge. Even if you remove all the surface moisture, some water absorbed by the skin still makes its way back out to the surface.

  3. Most bath towels truly are awful regardless.

@JeremyMallin @actuallyautistic I have a towelling bathrobe made of non plushie towe fabric. I put it on after the shower and it dries me excellently without the need for rubbing. All I really need to run is my shins and feet and I'm done. It also solves my problem of being cold when I dry myself with other types of towel

@foo @actuallyautistic That sounds great.

@JeremyMallin @actuallyautistic i treasure my 20 year old towels. They work much better the older they are.
Bonus points for being just the right amount of scratchy, for the perfect after shower experience.

@JeremyMallin @actuallyautistic linen towels rock

@VoxofGod @actuallyautistic I don't know why they don't just make them out of modern hydroscopic sponge-like foam materials instead of fabric at all.

@JeremyMallin @actuallyautistic Also, lots of people use fabric conditioner on towels when they wash them - and, er, it makes them water-repellent!

@JeremyMallin @actuallyautistic everyone loves those plush towels that move the water all around and I'm like ???? 😰

I buy crappy scrapy towels from a discount store that seem much better, oddly.
