First method: The standard towel dry.
Second Method: Air dry
Third Method: Dyson Body Dryer
Dyson is known for it's blade-less fans but have they gone too far as to create a device that allegedly can dry your body in 30 seconds or less? What you are supposed to do is stand on this scale looking device after the shower and it will then dry you using compressed, ionized air in a cylindrical tunnel of air motion. The Dyson Body Dryer can withstand up to 325 lbs (170 kg) and you are provided with the option for cold or hot air.
Dyson's motive behind the Body Dryer is to reduce the amount of bacteria we place back on our bodies thus eliminating the body towel in its' entirety and replacing it with a device that performs the same duty. So i wonder...
Well, according to an article in Readers Digest,
"Do bath towels really ever get dirty? Most towels are made of 100 percent cotton. While it’s true that after a shower you have eliminated most of the germs and dirt from your skin, the process of rubbing a towel against the body rubs off dead skin that sticks to the moist towel. Towels become an ideal nesting place for the mildew endemic to humid bathrooms."So perhaps Dyson is doing us a favor, but I am still skeptical.
What do you think? I want to be interactive with this post. What are your thoughts, questions, concerns, pros and cons, etc. Let's talk!
This is a very humorous post about a topic that wouldn't be expecting to read about, and i like your use of memes! I think it's very innovative that Dyson created a stand up dryer in order to reduce the use of towels. I don't think I would buy this product, but I do believe that towels get disgusting after using the same one after multiple showers. After using it a lot, the towel doesn't feel nice and fresh and it sometimes it can smell really bad. You can solve this by replacing your towel at least once a week maybe, so you will always have a relatively clean towel.
ReplyDeleteWell this is interesting. I think it might something fun to try just to see if it really works. But, for a woman, you would still have to use a towel to dry your hair or at least put it up so that the wind from the air dryer doesn't blow it all over your face, causing knots and such. The idea is fun to consider, but I don't think it's very logical. Men would get better use than woman, then again if the air is blowing hard enough to get us dry in 30 seconds, men may have to take cover too lol.
