Comment on I feel like I need a separate body towel (big towel), and 3 other small towels for hair, face, and hands. 4 towels in total. Is that normal?

Do people really “sterilize” their armpits and taint with vinegar and I have been out of the loop for all this time? The hell are you sterilizing them for?

Honestly, the washcloth is mostly there for convenience and not having to touch your asshole with your hands. Water and friction with literally anything, including your other hand, is enough for a cleaning effect to happen. Soap helps dissolving the greases and oils. Only potential thing left is actual dirt, which would need a bit more scrubbing, but from a cleanliness perspective, that’s all there is to it, really. If it’s clean enough for surgeons to wash their hands by rubbing them together with water and hand soap before playing with your insides, it’s clean enough for me to dry with a single towel after just washing everything once properly.
