My (F23) boyfriend (M24) and I have been debating on whether it is gross or not to share a bath towel.
I think it’s gross. I want my own towel that only I use. Towels get rubbed on all your parts and the more they’re used the more likely they are to get gross and mildewy. He showers more frequently than I do so the towel is always kinda wet and I want a dry towel.
He doesn’t think it’s that weird. He says that we share clothes and cuddle naked and “our bodies rub against each other all the time” which makes sharing a towel not weird.
What do you think?
TL;DR – I think it’s weird/icky to share a bath/shower towel with my boyfriend, he doesn’t care and for some reason loves to use my towel😪😂
EDIT: we got more than 2 towels yall he just will sometimes use mine instead of his or a different one and I think it’s weird but he doesn’t think it’s a big deal

Yeah that’s gross. Get your own towels. It’s going to get moldy if it never properly dries.
I will share towels but not a wet one.. thats crazy lol
It depends if it’s getting moldy from being constantly wet that’s kinda gross but I don’t know if sharing a similar towel if you wash it is that bad, maybe take a shower at different times so it’s dry?
yeah i would want a dry towel. i wouldn’t care if it had been used a couple times if it was at least dry lol
Is there a reason why you can’t afford to buy more towels?
While I am willing to share towels, I feel like this issue is moot as I would never be that desperate to share towels. That said, if my wife and I had to share a tower for some reason, then I would let her use it first and then dry myself after so that it is less disgusting.
Not weird at all to want your own towel, it’s about hygiene and comfort. Clothes and cuddling aren’t the same as rubbing down with something damp that’s been sitting around. If you prefer a dry, personal towel, that’s completely valid, he can still have his own
He doesn’t have to agree with you to respect your very simple request.
It’s weird. I kiss my husband but that doesn’t mean I want to share a toothbrush. Who tf wants to use a cold wet towel!
Ugh, I don’t even reuse my OWN towel without washing after every use, there’s no way I’d use some ELSE’S used towel!
It doesn’t matter if he thinks it’s weird. If you don’t like it, you don’t like it and that should be the end of it.
Like twelve hours. I work nights by the time I take a showers I sometimes don’t even remember which one is mine and both are dry.
No way I would share a towel. And whole ib wouldn’t be completely upset, id be mildly annoyed if mine was used. He gets the brown towels, I get the green. I use one towel for my body, one for my face, and one for my hair. Mostly because I have a hard time with acne.
I wash my towels after every use.
I’m not even using a towel for myself twice.
I’m confused, do you not wash the towel?
