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.

This meme is so old the towel has dementia.

Instructions unclear, used face to get balls wet

It's just more skin for fucks sake.

[–] mojofrododojo 7 points 5 hours ago

and hopefully clean skin just out of the shower.

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 10 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 51 points 12 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 38 points 12 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 68 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

If you're cleaning yourself properly, who cares?

[–] trashgirlfriend 12 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 13 hours 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?

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink 51 points 13 hours 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.

But but guys if the cloth touches both your balls and your face then YOUR GAAAAYYYYY

[–] [email protected] 112 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 17 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 62 points 15 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Unless you're into that, of course 🤷

what if i want someone else's?

[–] Glytch 5 points 6 hours ago

Are you asking for mine, because then we need to start talking about price.

[–] garbagebagel 11 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

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. 🤢

[–] [email protected] 5 points 12 hours ago

I have also known people who claimed this. Gross.

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?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 13 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours 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.

[–] Jerb322 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

Tag corner is for my face, adjacent corner for drying my hair, then the rest of my body gets the other end of the towel.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 15 hours ago

Plebs using towels? What is this? Caveman times?

My sexy robot servants blow me.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (2 children)

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 34 points 15 hours 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 19 points 15 hours 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.

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

[–] shneancy 44 points 18 hours 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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 16 hours ago

That's fair.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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

....also, you've just stepped out of the shower 35 seconds earlier.

[–] Agent641 3 points 12 hours ago

I just shake my balls dry

[–] 9point6 13 points 18 hours ago

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

[–] A_Random_Idiot 2 points 12 hours ago

I hate threads like this because it always reveals how many nasty motherfuckers there are in society.

[–] Landless2029 3 points 14 hours ago

I use the center of the towel for the face, the ends for bottom half of my body and a separate one for hands outside of bathtime.

In all seriousness I wash myself with a exfiltrating scrub and clean enough where it doesn't matter how I dry myself.
