I didn’t realize I could dry off with a towel while still standing in the bathtub/shower until I was 26. Now my bathroom floor doesn’t get wet on a daily basis.
Bathrooms should have a floor drain regardless of whether they are of the wet variety. I personally hate the concept of a wet bathroom and the behaviour it encourages. Stuff gets wet that shouldn’t, it just makes everything harder and expands the scope of cleaning while compromising “dry” tasks after someone else has used the shower if they partake in the undisciplined behaviour the design encourages. Also not a fan of all the functions being in one room.
No you don’t touch the towel to the shower floor, you do everything but that. Then you step into the mat mostly dry, not cold, not making a mess to finish.
After you’ve skimmed the water off, then towel dried inside the shower, the bathmat barely needs to get wet, especially if you step onto your towel when getting out.
The perfect bathmat is one of those brown fibre door mats, the kind people also use to get their car out of the snow. Always feels dry, never slips, and lasts for years.
Huh, I tried so many of those over the years and always hated the way they feel. Then a few years back, I discovered mats that are more like towels you can throw on the ground but thicker. So much better. The clincher was that I never knew how to clean the mats, but the towel- like ones can go in the wash whenever towels are cleaned

That’s what bath mats are for…
Ok, but why not leave all the water in the spot that actually has a drain for it?
I believe wet bathrooms have a drain in the middle of the bathroom. This is the way we should build all bathrooms.

I might be using the term wet bathroom wrong, I just mean the floor should have a drain (and be able to get wet obviously).
Because your towel will get wet when drying your feet and such.
…lift up your feet.

That’s why I use ham
No, they are for the last drops missed while toweling in the shower

Or just one that’s more of a rug than a small towel.
They’re so pokey, though!
Preal men like scratchy mats. Puts hair on your feet.
I hate when I get hair on my feet
Rub on mat vigorously
No more mat!

If you put a duck board on the floor then you can put any towel you like on top of it as your mat.
