How many beach towels for 1 week holiday?

[Dipsydoodlenoodle]

Ok 1 week pool holiday abroad, how many pool/beach towels would you take?

Its been a bit of a discussion point at home (a few neighbours have just been on holiday stand have been hanging their washing out).

Neighbour 1: 6 beach/pool towels (at least)
Neighbour 2: 9 pairs of shorts (they look to be fleece type ones and definitely not swimming shorts)
Neighbour 3: at least 6 swimming costumes

I ask out of general curiosity as we take a couple of swimwear items and hand-wash through each day....just 6 towels seems excessive - but maybe its us that's different.

I take 1 beach towel to dry me plus a hamman towel to lay on, which also doubles up as a sarong. I also take magic leaves washing sheets so can wash the thinner towel and hang out to dry on the balcony overnight

I don't take any. If the hotel don't supply them, I buy a cheap towel or sarong type thing for the beach, and leave it behind.

A microfibre towel each for pool and another for beach and hand wash!!!

(So 2 per person!)

1 towel per person and 2/3 swimming suits each.

One of the weirdest market research posts I've seen yet on mums net.

Likewise. It's very odd...

Beach towels: I per person
Swimwear: 2 per person for trips over 3 days (1 for less than that)
Outfits: 1 per day

Usually I'm travelling by motorcycle so I actually take half the outfits and wash half way through!

(Should add mine are the thin microfibre ones!)

I mean, we are a family of 6 and I take one towel each and a couple of spares 🤷‍♀️
If it is literally a pool holiday where that's pretty much all you're doing then maybe take 2-3 towels and sets of swimwear each?

1 towel each, shake it out and hang up to dry every night
1 swimming cossie each, rinse out and hang up to dry every night

I don’t take beach towels, I have a stock of aging colourful beach sarongs purchased over the last 20 odd years that serve the same purpose (and take up much less space). I take 4.

We're going to Florida next month and won't be taking any. I'll buy one each from the local tat shop and leave them behind when we leave.

Big assumption that single 60+ yo going on holiday were staying alone!! Maybe they were meeting up with a cousin or their several lovers. And 6 towels were needed for hygiene for a load of beach sex.

(I always get towels from the hotel, clean daily. 1 bathing suit)

Thing is if I was single in my 60s I may take a beach towel for everyday. There's nothing wrong with it it just seems too much effort to pack and wash to take 6 each.

Maybe they fly business class and have more luggage allowance? Maybe they're quire happy to pay for an extra case? Beach towels are personal preference

Usually 2 each for a fortnight if they fit, if it’s a combined beach/pool holiday.

I never pack a towel - day one of the holiday I walk to a local shop and buy one with the resort/country name and design and use that. It’s like my own little souvenir.
