Help settle something for DH & me. DH is laughing at me again (before anyone jumps on accusing DH of emotionally abusing me - this is lighthearted!) because when I get out of the shower or bath I like to sit wrapped in my towel until I'm dry. I hate rubbing myself dry with a towel and would rather sit for 10mins until I dry naturally. DH thinks I am utterly odd for doing this and thinks that everyone else in the world Hmm dries themselves with a towel "the normal way".

Tell me I'm not alone in this!

Am I the only one that dries myself with a hairdryer after a shower?!

No, me too! For warmth as much as dryness. And helps to try roll-on deodorant.

I do this too. I hate the feeling of the towel on wrinkly fingers so sit until the wrinkles have gone....

Even better if you wrap yourself in a towel then put dressing gown over the top

I put on a towelling robe which dries me whilst I sort my hair out and moisturise my face etc. I never rub dry.

I sit dry too and I get really annoyed if people come and talk to me during the process. It's my quiet time.

I sit and dry in a towel, it’s one of life’s luxuries to take the time to be calm rather than rush.

Having read about towelling robes I may need to go shopping!

DH used to be amused by me doing similar. He now has his own towelling robe and can out lounge me.

On a much smaller scale to the one mentioned by Purple, we have a hot air drying unit in our wetroom. It was much anticipated and in constant use for about two weeks. It’s like the bathroom equivalent of a cupcake machine now - just too big to chuck in a cupboard though!

I have a toweling dressing gown used only after a bath - I put it on the radiator while in the bath so it is warm.
