it seemed very obvious this idea is modelled after having towelrs for drying your hands on, in which case you have a basket for used ones and when the basket is full you toss the contents in the washing machine.

Wut? We just change one when doing a wash and then you just toss it straight in

my point is that no one wants this, it’s a fundamentally unpleasant concept

People dry their soaped ass with their regular towel all the time though, if you clean your ass after a shit then it’s the same deal, but just for ass, which seems less pleasant imo lol
