do people just... not clean themselves in the shower?

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 30 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Towels don't only dry, they exfoliate. Even if you loofa scrub in the shower you're still leaving skin on your towel.

[–] moody 85 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Bit it's skin that has just been washed. It's not like you're rubbing day old ball sweat on your face.

Unless you're into that, of course 🤷

My partner used to have a roommate that thought that because he only used the towel when he was "clean" after showering, that meant he never had to wash the towel. What started out as a white towel turned into a yellowing black stained horror. I can't imagine the smell. 🤢

If you're cleaning yourself properly, who cares?

[–] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

I use a separate towel for my face because my face skin is a diva and will break out for no reason

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 weeks ago

I fry my face, body, bits, face, body, legs, face, whatever… I’m clean. If imma eat my partner’s ass after a rave, why would I care if my face gets a little touch of clean grundle?

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 75 points 2 weeks ago

If I'm unwilling to touch my face with the ball towel, my balls weren't clean enough.

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 73 points 2 weeks ago

If you care about this, you're not showering properly. You're supposed to be clean mfer

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 59 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It doesnt matter, i washed. If i was dirty immediately after stepping out of a shower then i think i need to clean my house.

There isn't anything special about your balls that makes them dirtier than the rest of your body. You've just washed them. They're clean.

Who cares? I just washed them, they're clean. Do women have a second pussy towel or something?

But also yeah, start at top, he's right.

[–] a9cx34udP4ZZ0@lemmy.world 35 points 2 weeks ago

If you just took a shower and your balls are still "dirty" your problem isn't the order in which you dry yourself.

If you can take a shower like a functional adult, it turns out skin is skin and wiping water off your ballsack is fundamentally identical to wiping water off the back of your hand.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 30 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

If you washed your balls clean enough, it doesn't matter. It's not like being a girl and having to deal with your period continuing while you wash and dry.

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 29 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

It's just more skin for fucks sake.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

and hopefully clean skin just out of the shower.

at least that's what I tell myself...

Count yourself lucky if a single guy has separate towels for handwashing and showering/bathing.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 49 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

i'm single and i have two separate towels,,, but to be honest i only use the big one for everything, the small one is so guests don't dry their hands on the towel that dries my entire body

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago

That's fair.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

One towel is more than enough for bathing, hand washing, floor mopping, kitchen towel, car window washing, oil rag

Why is this gendered? I use the same towel on my cooch as my face after I shower, I would be pretty impressed by the dedication to doing laundry of someone who has a specialized crotch-drying towel.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 weeks ago

The poster doesn’t have balls so they were curious

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

The secret is to use the towel to dry one's nether regions after washing them, not before.

By the way, it applies to women as much as to men.

Who the fuck actually cares? Are straight guys so homophobic they can't even touch a towel that has touched their own freshly cleaned junk?

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 37 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How the fuck did you get ANY of that from this post? It's about hygiene, not homophobia.

And everyone in the comments is talking about using the same towel. Who is this strawman you're insulting and why does it have 32 upvotes?

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Woman in screenshot: do men have separate ball towels?

Man in screenshot: no

Men in comments: no

Men every other time this gets posted: no

Noxypaws: straight men are homophobic scum for not wanting to use a towel that touched their own balls. Something is wrong with their brains!

Nah, these guys ain't straight and/or cis. If touching their own balls makes them that uncomfy then they've got some stuff they're hiding and need to work through.

Edit: even so, tho, the OP doesn't look like they're a dude; which makes me wonder if she has a different towel for every part of her body. Like, damn bitch, granted I ain't straight or cis, but I use two towels, one for my hair, one for the rest of me. I may be a gal but I don't need more than that, and the hair one is mainly because my hair holds enough water that I kinda need a second towel.

No seperate towel. Clean your balls in the shower and even if you keep them sucked into your anus all day, which is bad for both organs so don't leave em in for long, you can clean the most gnarly of sacks. My point is clean them.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I wash my balls at least as much as I watch my face, why would I have a problem with drying both with the same towel?

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago

I honestly bet my balls get more washing than my face.

My hair doesn't behave well, so if I'm not wearing a hat I jump in the shower and give it a quick wash. I never get out of the shower without giving the pits and balls a quick lather.

Generally I also shower in the evenings kind of regardless of the morning routine.

[–] Acters@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There are way dirtier things being done in a bedroom or playing outside sports. Why does it matter if you are clean? Why is a woman asking that silly question like as if we don't kiss the mouth of someone who just gargle them balls

This tweet lives rent free in my head, often does the phrase "The towel forgets" pop into my brain.

[–] imvii@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 weeks ago

Plebs using towels? What is this? Caveman times?

My sexy robot servants blow me.

Instructions unclear, used face to get balls wet

I don't really pay attention to whether my valet uses one towel or several. I think he switched things up between face and body, for sure, but beyond that shrug.

[–] pezhore@infosec.pub 9 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

Finally, I can share my method.

  1. Start with the side of the towel that has the tag. Hold the towel so the tag is facing away from you (critical to a later step!)
  2. Dry hair with the top, then face in the next section down, followed by chest.
  3. Left arm is dried with the left side of the next section, right arm with the right side. At this point you should be about half way down the towel.
  4. Dry balls with the next section.
  5. Legs are next with the remaining section of the towel.
  6. Flip and dry the back and butt.

I got tired of finding head hair in my underwear so this method keeps the head drying section quite a bit away from the ball section, and keeps the ass drying away from hands arms, chest, face etc.

I put the tag in the same place every time and dry my ass with the opposite side as my face. It's my asshole I'm a little more "worried" about. It's mostly the thought of it touching the same place.

Same towel for my whole body, the outside part is clean right after showering.
