The hot towel

Do you guys ever wonder about how sanitary those hot towels are?
I mean what are the chances these places do laundry often and use a fresh clean towel to wipe you off with?
In my head I'm picturing providers pulling these towels from a pot filled with a vile opalescent mixture of hot water, oil, male sweat, semen, pubic hair and a dab of laundry detergent.
After cleaning you up, I imagine the towel being plopped back into the pot for the next monger.
I always cringe when the provider is rubbing a crusty towel all over my body.
Not a germaphobe, but man.... this really tests my ability to repress thoughts.

Chinese are disgusting. One AMP had an American girl working there, and she told me she was the only one who cleaned the table shower, and used clean towels, that they spent so much laundry, and werent very hygienic in general. Best to assume they dont clean, and have no regard for your wellbeing. The only C-rated eateries you'll find, one after the other, are in Chinese areas. Obviously it may vary from place to place, but generally speaking, they are not clean people. Alcohol be damned.

I've been places where I was less worried for sure, but often, for example at the CT joints, just judging by the general vibe, I just don't see them making any extra effort to properly wash after every use.

Most of the places I go to take them right to the washing machine. I know because I spend time in the kitchen/laundry room and see them do it. Just tell them to use cream and not oil. Then say no hot towel. I also bring my own shower towel.
There was a time I would bring my own pack of wet wipes and a small towel with the intention to have them use my own supplies rather than theirs, but never ended up taking them out of my bag. Just felt too awkward, like I really am a germaphobe. Like those people that wipe off a bench before they sit on it. Just not me.

I can understand your concern. I've thought about it myself.

Fortunately the places I go to in Brooklyn always smell of laundry detergent and I've seen machines there, often running. In fact, I have developed such a sympathetic reaction to the perfume smell of detergent that now I get a boner whenever I pass a laundromat. Inconvenient and frustrating.

Chinatown is another matter and its my experience that it is more usual that wet wipes or TP is used. I will have to take note of how many use towels on future visits.

I don't worry about about places like PH and the like. I think they are pretty carful for everyones safety.

i don't think so. every amp i've seen has a washer/dryer. and asians are clean by nature.

I bring my beach towel, bath towel, a wash cloth, a small pillow, and few other accessories with me. Beach towel on the table for me to lay on. Small pillow after flip. Bath towel for shower use and the rest if needed. I learned a hard lesson from skin reaction right after I left a parlor. From that point forward, I bring my stuffs. No skin reactions ever since!

In addition to the towels, what about the sandals and robe they offer on the way to the TS? I was at a place in Flushing where the girl just hung up the same robe I had just used, ready to be used by the next monger, and everyone else to follow. I pointed this out to her and she said she would talk to her boss about providing more robes so this problem could be fixed. Right..like that discussion might ever happen, lol..

99% of the spas I go to are Korean, don't know if that makes a difference.

These girls really take care of their hygiene, before and in between each session. Their skin care is ritualistic, smooth and flawless. I can't imagine they want dirty towels either.

Washers run 24/7, I see the girls go back to clean the room and bring back an arm full of towels to throw into the washer.

Table shower rooms and table are clean, never seen a mold problem. Oh, I did have a friend take over a spa and on my second visit she was so excited that she got a new shower table. She said the old one had too much mold on the underside that wasn't visible.

Wood floors or carpets look spotless.

Shower sandles are worn by all the customers, I have only ever seen one provider spray them back in the room with disinfectant. I prefer barefoot.

DON'T wear the robes, they are not washed between uses. Just wrap a towel or run nude to the shower. Some providers think it's funny if they make you make you walk nude while they carry the towel, lol.

I've been walking around amps nude for the last decade. Those towels are too small, and those robes are nasty. I always forget to bring my own slippers.

Anyone know of any GOOD amps with standup showers that the girl will join you in?

Towels are easy ones. If you find them crusty or unclean, you should leave and don't go back. The places I go to all have washer/dryer, and they seem to run them all the time with heavy duty detergent and bleach. If you do anything BB, you should worry more about the pussies and mouths. They can't be cleaned with detergent or bleach.
