<p>Sorry if I'm being ignorant, but how do you manage towels in college? I shower every day and I feel like my towel takes forever to dry. Do you buy like 10 towels and just use a different one every day? Or do you put them through the dryer?</p>
<p>Towel help please!</p>
<p>Target has a line of quick drying towels. You will only need about 3 for the week.</p>
<p>Do your towels take more than 24 hours to dry?</p>
<p>I bought four or five towels from Wal-Mart and I usually kept about two at a time available and just hung them up after I was done with the shower and they dried perfectly fine and were ready the very next day.</p>
<p>Putting towels through a dryer every day would be unnecessary and expensive.</p>
<p>If you’re worried about your towels not drying, then just rotate them out. Use one towel one day, then let it dry the next day and use a different one. Alternating between towels would definitely give enough dry time.</p>
<p>Beach towels from Target…they cover more and dry faster.</p>
<p>I have a few towels that I hang up for use. I usually reuse my first towel of the week for three days, whether it’s a little damp or not. It’s not so wet that it won’t make me dry when I use it.</p>
<p>I am taking 8; I just never have been able to stand using used towels. So I plan on doing the laundry every weekend.</p>
<p>I have two shower towels that I rotate daily. I have a hook in my room for each one and they seem to dry fine in two day. (Remember that fabrics need air circulation in order to dry. If you lie them down, crumble them up, put several wet items too close together or store them in a closet without air circulation, they will take forever to dry.)</p>
<p>Bed, Bath and Beyond carries a line of quick drying towels. 2 towels should be sufficient if you can hang up the towel and allow it to dry.</p>
<p>First of all, even if you’ve used a new towel every day at home, it’s near impossible at college. Sorry, but can you really imagine doing 7-10 towels of laundry a week!? Sometimes you don’t even get to do laundry one week - the machines are all taken or broken, you need to finish a project or study for a test and you just don’t have time to stress yourself out about laundry, you forget, etc.</p>
<p>I brought four towels; two bath towels and two hand towels. I use a set every week and hang them on my door to dry between uses. It’s nice because I have two weeks before I need to wash the towels. Also, I bought really nice towels from Lands End. They’re super soft and absorbent. I take two showers a day and they’re always perfectly dry whenever I want to use them.</p>
<p>I have 2 towels that I rotate every two weeks when I do laundry and I’ve never had a problem with them drying before I needed them the next day. The main thing is to hang them up so that they have a chance to dry before your next shower.</p>
<p>I used two, just switched one for the other after a week or whenever I felt like it. The quick-drying towels really do help, I didn’t have them and showered twice a day so most days my towel was damp or wet when I went to dry off. I hung them in the closet though.</p>
<p>I used two- one would be in the dirty clothes/laundry, and the other would be in use. Get towels that dry quicker, or hang in front of a fan to speed up the drying process. DO NOT try to use 7 towels a week- your laundry will end up driving you crazy.</p>
<p>I have 6 big ones and a bunch of wash cloths. When my room flooded i was glad to have them.</p>
<p>^what ?</p>
<p>

<p>Oh my gosh. This happened to me too on the second night of college! haha. I woke up and it sounded like there was a river in my room! Our AC unit was creating a puddle of water in the wall and was soaking through the insulation and making the walls drip lots and lots of water. Our entire room was soaked and the towels were DEFINITELY life savers. It was the weirdest thing lol.</p>
<p>Got really cold, boiler went out, sprinkler line froze then busted. Room started flooding with about an inch or so of water. Luckily, i had a lot of them because i was able to stop it befor it completely flooded.</p>
<p>lol buy some quick drying towels. most towels dont take 24 hrs to dry. u def do not want to wash 7+ towels every week on top of everything else. laundry is expensive enough</p>
<p>The Target quick drying towels are on sale starting tomorrow for $5.</p>
<p>I brought like 5 bath towels and 3 hair towels (because I can stand to use hair towels longer without washing them/switching towels than for hair towels, haha). It was enough. I just hang them up to dry and it was almost always dry by the next morning.</p>
<p>My roommate last year was one of those people who won’t use a towel more than once without washing, so she brought 7 each of bath towels, hair towels, and washcloths…so she did laundry for like 21 total towels/washcloths each week.</p>
<p>Gahh towels take up so much room. I didn’t want to bring a bunch I brought two beach towel type things and a quick-drying camping towel. I’d dry/wrap my hair in the quick drying towel, for two reasons - terry cloth can frizz your hair and it prevented my beach towel from getting as wet so I would always have dry towels the next day.</p>
