When you come out of the shower...
 
... Do you prefer a soft, fluffy, warm cosy towel, or a rough, hard, abrasive and exfoliating towel?

Both have their pros and cons, what do you think?

I don't like the fluff a soft towel leaves all over you, and I never feel properly dried with a soft fluffy towel.

I don't care, a towel is a towel. That's all there is to it.
HOWEVER. I have a towel in my house that leaves the umm, cotton parts on me. It's a pain to get off and it looks like I have bruising all over my body since the towel is purple. x_x

That's what I hate the most too, and what really spurred me on to make this thread. I have noticed at least in my household, there are two types of towel. The soft fluffy ones that do this, and the ones that are practically like cardboard.

Getting out of the shower is the worst part fml. I just use plain cotton towels, not sure about the fluff to abrasive ratio but they do the job!

What really sucks though is when you wake up in the morning and find out you don't have any clean towels and don't have time to do a load. I end up using like two of the half size washcloth towels and I feel exposed. :x

Velvet-like materials (for the purposes of this thread, that is the feel of some soft towels) give me the same feeling most people get from chalkboard squeaks. This is usually and especially so when I've been wet for some time. Needless to say that, as a result, I only want to use rough towels.

OMG YOU READ MY MIND ABOUT THE VELVET TOWELS. Well I mean, it's not that make me twitch but I hate using them because they don't absorb water well 9_9 My parents think they're fancy or something but GAH THEY DON'T DO THE JOB! Rough, worn towels for the win!

Sydian March 2nd, 2011 3:16 PM

I honestly don't care. If it gets me dried up and keeps me warm, I'm all good.

moments. March 2nd, 2011 3:16 PM

Well rough towels dry better, so if I'm in a hurry to get dried I will go for the rougher ones, but I am such a fan of soft things, I love using soft towels, I just don't always have time...

Alice March 2nd, 2011 4:34 PM

I guess I've never used a fluffy towel before, because I've never had any problems with mine. I don't really care though, they're all the same to me.

Saryka March 2nd, 2011 4:38 PM

Meh, I don't really care. A towel's a towel. :| As long as it gets the job done efficiently and it's not some short little rag thing that doesn't dry anything, it's okay in my book.

Tox March 2nd, 2011 5:04 PM

If I had to choose one, I'd probably go for the soft towel. They're so much better, and I tend to slow in the mornings anyway so I don't really care as long as I'm warm. Usually I just grab the first unused towel I can find though. Getting out of the shower is my main worry. I hate being cold.

King Gumball March 2nd, 2011 5:18 PM

I like soft and fluffy to lie on at the beach but for showers I like the rough hard towels, as they get me dry easier :)

~Darkness~ March 2nd, 2011 6:44 PM

I hate getting out of the shower. I want a warm towel. Thats all my needs lol.

Captain Hobo. March 2nd, 2011 6:49 PM

I don't care I just use towels to get dry.

champagnepapi March 2nd, 2011 7:27 PM

Probably the more abrasive ones. Towels are for getting dry, after all.

twocows March 2nd, 2011 7:49 PM

I like slightly rougher ones, but I don't like drying with concrete.

BHwolfgang March 2nd, 2011 7:53 PM

Nothing's better than getting out of a warm shower after track practice and burying your face into a soft, fluffy towel. Well, it gets its job done. I feel properly dry with them.

However, it's not always the case. I have to dry myself with one of those rough, hard ones.. most of the times.

Binary March 2nd, 2011 7:59 PM

I use a plain cotton towel on most occasions, and I think it's more soft than rough. So yeah, I like my towels soft. But I think a towel needs to be a little rough too. An equal ratio perhaps?

RYOUKI March 2nd, 2011 8:02 PM

The un-fluffy one. The fluffy one gets wet too easily, so I like the hard un-fluffy one.

donavannj March 2nd, 2011 8:03 PM

I usually go for the fluffy-ish ones because they're usually thicker and hold more water.

Dumbo Decus March 2nd, 2011 9:11 PM

I prefer rougher towels, they tend to a do better a job than the softer ones do. Plus when I dry my hair, it gives me a bit of a massage xDDD.

Rai March 2nd, 2011 10:20 PM

All of my towels at home are old and ratty and blah but I'm used to it by now.

For my dorm room I got to buy nice new towels that are soft and pink :3 <3


Cherrim March 2nd, 2011 10:42 PM

Yeah, I don't really care either. I didn't even realize there was a difference, lmao. D: I thought all towels just started out fluffy and after a bunch of washes, became less soft. When I'm at school I almost always use soft towels since the towels I have at my apartment there are newer but at home I end up using really old towels so they're all kinda uncomfortably rough. u_u;

I prefer soft ones. :( Especially warm out of the dryer omg.

soϲks March 2nd, 2011 10:45 PM

I usually just air-dry. :rambo:

...but when I do use towels, I like 'em rough. ;D

PlatinumDude March 3rd, 2011 1:07 AM

There's a difference between towels?

Anyway, I'd go for the soft, fluffy towels because they're comfortable.

Pokemon Trainer Touko March 3rd, 2011 1:13 AM

I use fluffy towels because they're fluffier and more comfortable~ ;D

I prefer my shamwow. With that I don't have to rub my whole body just to become dry. Even though I get dehydrated with that but I guess that's out of the league.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ March 3rd, 2011 5:07 AM

Soft and fluffy all the way, just like I prefer everything in life xD

Belinda March 3rd, 2011 11:23 AM

Definitely go for a more rougher towel as I'm not a fan of soft or cozy towels, but hey that's just me.

MeerFall March 3rd, 2011 11:25 AM

i like fluffy towles as it makes you feel warm and comfe

TJgamer March 3rd, 2011 11:31 AM

I have a normal, cotton towel. I sometimes unintentionally take a snooze with it.
Seriously.

.Fenris March 3rd, 2011 2:21 PM

I really hate rough ones because when you dry off, they make this odd sound against skin.

Morkula March 3rd, 2011 3:05 PM

I loooooove thick, soft, fluffy towels. I know they don't really dry you off as well, but they feel so much better than the rougher ones when you dry yourself up or wrap them around you.

Nick March 3rd, 2011 3:11 PM

I hate soft towels. They're uncomfortable, insufficient, and I always end up getting some of the cotton (or whatever they're made out of) on my skin after I use them.

Meganium March 3rd, 2011 4:52 PM

I prefer soft, fluffy towels, you know... the ones that absorb water.

Purple Materia March 4th, 2011 7:48 AM

A towel is a towel. I just use what I grab, personally.

jcsimpson March 5th, 2011 6:21 AM

A rough towel followed by my warm fluffy house coat.
