How Many Bath Towels Should A Couple Have?

Moving in together for the first time? Or trying to settle a debate about how many towels you need as a couple? While we believe you can never have enough bath towels (although we’re a little biased), there’s definitely a formula when working out how many bath towels you should ideally have. Couples don’t need as many bath towels as a family, unless that’s something which is on the horizon, but you should still have enough bath towels so that you’re never stuck without a clean one. Let’s talk about the ideal number of bath towels you need if you’re moving in with your partner, or trying to convince them that you need to invest in more!

 

The golden rule

Yes, believe it or not, there’s a golden rule for how many bath towels you should have in your household. This rule states that you need at least 2 full sets of towels (bath towel, hand towel and face cloth) per person in the household. But, like all rules, they’re often there to be broken. So, what do we mean by this?

 

You need more towels

You will almost definitely need more towels than two full sets per person. Here’s why:

 

Planning for a family

If you and your partner are planning for a family, then you’re going to need more towels. You also might need baptism towels if your little boy or girl is going to be baptised, or perhaps bibs. If this is the case, then check out the range of monogrammed baptism towels and bibs from The Monogram Shop.

 

Guests

Guests are humans too, which means they shower, which means they’ll need their own full set of towels! If you love having family and friends stay over at your place, make sure you’ve got enough towels for them. A good rule to follow is to have an extra 2 sets of towels, bringing you to a total of 6 towel sets for a couple’s household. 

 

Emergencies

We can confirm that it’s a thing: the emergency towel set. You may have got caught up in a big week at work and run out of time to do the washing, in which your towels all needed to be cleaned. Is it a rare occurrence? Yes. But is it necessary to plan ahead for? Absolutely. The emergency towel set is key to avoiding towel emergencies like this.

 

Avoid the confusion. Monogram your towels.

And our final piece of advice, so that you never have to argue about whose towel is whose ever again, is to get your towels monogrammed! This won’t only solve the problem of towel ownership confusion, but it also makes your towels extra special and personal to each of you.
