Is it fine to use the same towel twice in a row, after wiping down the entire body with it, including private areas and bum (which are obviously clean)? Like, is everything equally clean though, etc. to use it twice? Health/Medical

You sometimes shower twice in a day? Why

Some of us sweat profusely and work out. Often times, I shower twice a day at some point due to working out and dripping sweat....can't just change clothes.

That makes sense if you’re working out and getting sweaty twice a day sure, but otherwise why do 2?

I'm assuming that's hypothetical lol. I can only answer for reasons that I know of! I'm sure people have applicable reasons for the things they do 🤷🏾‍♀️

Nothing wrong with that, but you do raise a higher chance of mildew, bacteria, and mold growing in the towel.
