RE: When to use a towel to sit on?

Hasn't anyone here heard of baby wipes? Adults CAN use them.

Yup! That is why there are never skid marks on anything I sit on. I have a great recipe/instructions/information on making your own baby wipes. Will post if anyone is interested.

I always use baby wipes. I never travel without them.

That may be BUT, it does not answer the question. Read previous posts on this thread. Others are claiming they put towels on ALL their furniture. This sounds like an out right lie or pure stupidity.I haven't had any guests anywhere, so I don't know yet. I would probably try to have just something covering the seats in the indoor area where guests will be (couches and dining room chairs), to prevent skid marks. But now that you mention baby wipes, that might be an alternative.Yup! That is why there are never skid marks on anything I sit on. I have a great recipe/instructions/information on making your own baby wipes. Will post if anyone is interested.I guess it might differ from guest-circle to guest-circle: towels/seat covers forsomeguestsoneday, baby wipes forotherguestsanotherday. As for outdoors, I think that baby wipes are always good enough, period. Towels or some sort of padding on the ground perhaps recommended, such that no one sits on anything sharp (ouch!), but I leave that to each guest's sole discretion.

Well Andy D, I'm sorry if suggesting baby wipes has upset you for some personal reason but, you are the one that said,"We use towels on every seat in the house or we don't sit on it til we have one." Sounds to me you may have a personal hygiene problem if you really need to cover EVERTHING you sit on EVERY time.

I've had enough of this thread - I'm throwing in the towel.

At one of the resorts I go to, I have seen kids going around with what I can only describe as a towel/hoodie/robe thing. Basically I think it is for kids sun protection at beaches, and is made of terry cloth i.e. towel material, and it is worn kind of like a hooded jacket. That way they do not have to be responsible for holding a towel when they go play, they just wear it.
It is long enough to cover needed areas when sitting, and the ones I have seen have some cartoon character or something like that on them to make them "fun" for the kids.
They seem to be a good alternate to a towel.
Stay Naked!

I remember my brother (who is no nudist) was sitting in a barbers chair when he was around 2 maybe 3. Towel or no towel, clothes or not, when nature called it called big and urine everywhere!. I remember him sitting in the car on the way home smelling of urine. So, yes, towels are good, but like everything, when it comes to kids, be prepared!

Be careful where you place your towel. No one cleans up dog urine.

Yes T, and there is always some feces residue left.
