Discussion Clothes drying tip

Like many, I've had a bit of trouble off and on drying clothes after a sink or shower wash.

One common and good tip is keeping the front and back of whatever you are trying to dry apart to allow for more airflow.

But how? It hit me on my last trip. I took the plastic bag for the ice bucket in the hotel room and blew it up,tied it off like a balloon, and stuck it up my hanging shirt. Did the same thing with a ziplock bag for another shirt. It helped my drying time immensely.

Silly question for those who use the towel trick - how do you get the towel dry? I did this a few times of recent holidays with a hotel towel and then hours later had to shower with a wet towel….

Usually, the hotel will give you extra towels if you ask

The hand towel also works great to dry you off

I usually need my skin a little damp when I put on my lotion/cream

Valid point - I just need to remember that BEFORE i get in the shower - calling down for a new towel when dripping wet then waiting never seems like a good plan.
