Sometimes I bring mine when traveling.

I'm turning 42 next summer and have been thinking about hosting a Towel Party; this image is going to be very helpful.
- What's a towel party, is it a theme and everyone just wears their best towel?
- A stranger on the Internet approves of this plan. Please provide updates. Will there be a Vogon poetry recital?

That OP, he's a really hoopy frood who knows where his towel is.

I was really hoping I'd find this here.

Yet somehow the hotel towels are several times better at actually drying than my thick luxurious towels at home

Are you using fabric softener? That makes your towel less absorbent. If you're using detergent with built in softener it'll do the same.

Wash your towels with a cup of vinegar to remove the softener.
- Should I shower with vinegar and then use my crappy home towel?
- And/or borax in the machine with the soap. Helps a lot.
Don't use softener

Always know where your towel is

Be the kind of frood who knows where their towel is
- A real hoopy!

When you shop for towels, don't get a towel, get a "bath sheet". They are XL towels

Fuck that, beach towel ftw
- Fuck that, aircraft detailer.

Stay at a better hotel then. This is like shopping at Walmart and complaining about how many people in there smell bad.

Ah yes just "have more disposable income". Simple advice, thanks.
- Dissatisfied with capitalism? Just have more money! Capitalism cant legally fuck you up if you're rich.
  
  /s
- You can go to a better place and pay less, but you go ahead and act superior since you clearly know what you're talking about and aren't just pulling shit out of your ass.
If only my company allowed me to book my own hotels while traveling for work...
- Oh, well then yours is probably the best solution then.

Growing up, all the towels we had at home were stolen from hotels.

Growing up we never went to hotels or anywhere, really. Mother stole our towels from grandma, who got them free from the grocery store on rewards points in the 70's.

Has anyone noticed hotels are also giving you less towels overall? Last hotel I stayed at I got one bathtowel, one hand towel and a washcloth. Guess If I spill anything I'll just clean it with the bath mat?

What else should they give you by default? Genuinely asking.
- Usually it's at two of everything. Especially now that housekeeping only stops by once per stay these days.
- A spilltowel, you lousy poorperson.

I would love to know which god-tier cushiony towels you are using at home!

Same with toilet paper ply.

I have had to stay in a lot of hotels and the good the bad and the disgusting, it doesn't matter.

I am bringing my own fucking towel. You can say "stay at a nicer place" all you want. but those who can afford those places, are also those who can affod to be the sickest, most perverted fuckers out there and employees that give far less a fuck's worth of care.

Two stories:

The last time I stayed in a Motel 6, maybe 35 years ago, the towel was practically tissue paper.

I once delivered a box of towels to the Senate Club at the Forum (back when the Lakers played there), and wow did I ever see how the wealthy live! Those were the biggest, most luxurious towels I’ve ever felt.

Opposite for me haha. Some of those hotel towels put in work

This, but my pillow. Since I learned how amazing latex foam pillows are, I've had a hard time sleeping on regular pillows ever since.

Nice hotels have a pillow menu.
- A towel menu ?!?!? I feel like I've only used 2 types of towels before . Walmart towels and hotel towels . And I guess beach towels .
Also the idea of a used pillow
