I was wondering how everybody folds their towels. Do you fold them or roll them? I fold mine into quarters, with the plush side on the inside of the fold, then place them in containers. I've thought about rolling them, seems like you may be able to fit more in a container, but then again, maybe it doesn't matter.

I've had this towel obsession that I can't kick :p

I fold them like you do; I never even thought of rolling them.
Hope that helps!!!:)

I just fold them and keep them in a big sealed plastic container box I have.

I have tried both, but folding is much easier and with all the work detailing takes, I am lazy when it comes to storage.

I do both . . . this is the drawer unit that I picked up at Office Max to store my towels . . .

As you can see from the pics below, the top four drawers are only about 2 inches deep, so to maximize the number of super plushies that I can fit, I fold them in quarters (plush side in), then roll them . . .

In the deeper drawers, I fold them in thirds, then halves & stack 'em up to the top!

Absolutely awesome!
Mine would only fit in one drawer at this point, but could I get you to organize it for me?
That's the bomb, as the kids used to say!!

Love that set-up! I'm like Lauren, everything fits in 1 drawer. Mines are in a box. Will buy some more mf's later in the year...

I don't think even Justin has that many mf's(No pun intented). I will buy more good quality mf's by spring, once my credit card comes back to normal... But certainly I will need a bigger box than what I have now for that... My wife thinks I'm nuts because I buy "expensive" stuff, and because I have a lot of the "same" stuff. Kinda, it is, but only mf's and applicators. I'm trying to convince her about the benefit of the products that I buy... still working on that... I have an idea, Lauren, to be able to buy whatever we want: Let's rob a bank!:p

Joey:D

Yeah, well, I use to take time to fold em. Now-a-days I just pull em out of the dryer and cram em in my tub (the tub, at least, does have a top and is sealed pretty well).
