We re-use towels several times before washing them. I don't have any idea how many because I don't count but it's usually more than once and less than seven. I guess I wash bathroom towels about once a week or so and each person has his or her own towel.

we hang them to dry between baths or showers, we generally shower daily. the kids shower every other day or so, depending on what they have been up to or in to

as long as they <<the towels, not the kids>> arent smelly or still wet we use them... we dont have all our own towels specific, although dp tends to grab a clean one when he hops in... or rather calls to me to get him one, lol.

I'm really trying to get better about re-using towels

The thing is, they have to be hung up right away in order to that!

I wash all the bath towels once a week. Anyone in our house who wants a clean towel more often than once a week is volunteering to take over laundry duty. So far...no takers.

Every two weeks for most of the family, oftener if they get stinky, every week for dh.
I have two terrycloth bathrobes, one white and one dark colored, and shortish hair, so no need for a hair towel. I use a robe instead of bath towels and get the white one out once a month (when Aunt Flo has totally left the building

) and swap to the dark one a couple weeks later. DD is also on the bathrobe system. My sons have hoody towels and dh uses a regular towel.
We take the robes/towels to the bathroom when we shower, hang them up on a hook in there while we shower, wear them back to our rooms, hang them up behind the door and then dress in our rooms.
We have tiny bathrooms so we all hang our towels/robes up in our bedrooms, on hangers on a hook hanging behind the door, with even the regular towels draped so that it hangs up and dries out well. Our rooms are very dry compared to the bathroom, so I think this helps them to dry out thoroughly and stay fresh.
