    If this thread looks weird it's cause I merged the OP's two threads on the same thing.

    I can see not taking a truckstop shower everyday but, what about at least wiping yourself down with some babywipes or something. I know I'll have one of those camp showers on my truck to avoid the truckstop showers as much as possible.

    I woulodn't go out without my own towel and supplies......I'm not using the same towel the ###### in the wifebeater. the saggy shorts, and potbelly used at some point before me.

    and don't forget the shower shoes. I don't care how 'clean' they are, they're still public use and I just don't trust it enough to go barefoot in. think locker room in high school.

    but, not showering at least every other day or so just isn't an option

    I try to shower everyday, but sometimes that isn't possible depending on the schedule, so if I missed a shower one day, I make sure the next day I have time.

    I carry my own towel, and I use my own towel, I also use the truck stop towel, but that is just to put on the floor and stand on, or sit on the bench.

    Every Saturday whether I need it or not! :biggrin_25521:

    But seriously, yes you should have a towel of your own just in case. The majority of the major truckstops all provide them, but a few of the smaller places still don't, or want to charge you for the use of a towel.

    Bring your own soap as a backup too, as that pump stuff in the places that won't give you a bar of soap, is useless.

    Seems like we'd have an industrial size body dryer by now. It would sure save on laundry, for the ones that actually wash their towels anyway.

    Good gawd, don't dare use the pump stuff. There's probably been so many pranksters 'pumping' their own 'stuff' into it that it'd confuse even the most sophisticated DNA testing devices.
