I’ll go first. After your turn the water off in the shower but before you get out, use your hands to wipe off any standing water on your body. Maybe even give your legs a bit of a shake. This way, you won’t drip nearly as much when you get out, keeping the floor and your towel drier.

Are there people that don't do this? Wouldn't they absolutely soak their bathroom floor?

Heck, I do this and then use a small towel to get the rest of the initial water off while I'm stood in the shower, that way when I step out I'm no longer dripping wet, and my big main towel can do the rest of the work without needing to get soaked itself.

It can just be thrown on the bed to dry, no need to unfold it, and the smaller very wet towel is easier to find somewhere to hang up.

Anyway that's my system, a little addition to your tip :-)

I'm so glad you said this; my roommate didn't do this. The (single) bathroom mat would be absolutely soaked when he'd get out of the shower, and would remain that way for hours after. Everytime I mentioned it he'd say "that's what a bathmat is for" and I eventually had someone else mention how they had their socks soaked before I finally got him to start drying himself off first

My question is, "do people not dry off in the shower before getting out?"

[–] KeepFlying@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

My roommate doesn't do this and the floor and bathmats are always SOAKED when he's done.

I think body hair holds onto a considerable amount of water, so people without much body hair don't carry as much water with them when they step out.
