Step 1: hold up by a short edge, fold vertically. (In half or thirds, your choice.) Step 2:tuck short edge under chin, reach down and grab edges at hip level. (For my body that’s dead center of the towel length, but I’m short. You might have to grab waist-high. Check in a mirror and from then on you can do it by feel.) Step 3: Let go with chin and raise center, creating a folded edge. Step 4: reach out over a surface, touch down the unfolded edges and lower the folded edge towards you until it’s halfway, then push the folded edge away and lower it atop the other edge.
I grab two corners along the long edge and pinch with one hand, and slide my other hand along the length until it’s tight in the middle, then I just meet that to the corners in my other hand, then turn it to the side and fold in half
I think I can transalte: “How can he fold towels if he doesn’t have a chin?”
Cause most people hold the middle part of the towel with their chin when folding.
This is the best image I could quickly find -
But why?
Am I secretly a towel folding genius? I don’t see how that’s remotely required?
It’s usually blankets that are folded using the chin. Maybe they have gigantic towels.
Those are the best towels. See also “hang-dried floofy towel bliss”.
I have ratty towels, they dry the best.
Nah you probably just use momentum to whip it into the half-folded position. Do you also drape it over your knee?

Some people are slow, so they have to rely on friction rather than inertia to bend the towel.
I needed your explainer and then I laughed.
I find this concept incomprehensible
To fold towels, I hold them up, fold them hotdog, then let go and grab the middle. I guess you could lay them down and fold them that way
Your image doesn’t load for me, but I can’t imagine how my chin could possibly come into play…
You have to hold the center with your chin so that you fold it straight
I’m honestly not sure how you fold towels without it lol
I just tested how I told because I wasnt sure
I grab two corners along the long edge and pinch with one hand, and slide my other hand along the length until it’s tight in the middle, then I just meet that to the corners in my other hand, then turn it to the side and fold in half
No chin
I’m honestly impressed
Also thank you for testing it lol I needed to know!
I’m so confused… You hold the long, floppy cloth perpendicular to gravity when you fold it?
Yes. I also have to stand up lol
