I use a fresh towel every time for a few reasons!!!
1) Reusing a towel. Eww. Even if you're "clean" you're never completely clean, it's just not possible. Rubbing your face with the same towel you rubbed on your ass the day before is just... Eww.
2) They are never anywhere NEAR as soft the second time around. I have to have a soft towel!
3) Towels are my favorite thing to wash so I dirty them as quickly as possible!

Use 1 small and 1 large each bath.
Washed every 3rd day, hot/warm, liquid Tide, hung outside Mar-Nov.

PS the small towel
is used for the unsanitary bits, and that one is washed every day!

After showering that towel is used as a hand towel the rest of the day in the bathroom, then bathmat for the next days shower and into the laundry hamper.

Clean towel after every shower. Bathroom and kitchen hand towels changed every day. I also only use a tea towel once and dish cloths are changed at least once a day.

New towel, hand towel and face cloth for each shower.
I think it's the only sanitary method of bathing.

I use a bath towel twice. The first day one side, the second day the other side. That means every day a clean side of a towel.
I change once a week as with my sheets.
Because #1 I don't have enough towels to change daily (OK, maybe I do, but still) and #2 seems like such a waste of resources to me plus #3 I'm not a germaphobe so it's a non-issue for me.

Towels/ bath items
Once a week during the winter, twice during the summer. It's my dirt, my skin flakes, my crud, ...so what?

every day
Every shower I get a new towel. Your skin constantly sheds dry cells that you cannot see. I change the hand drying towel and the kitchen wash rag and towel daily as well. Laundry doesn't bother me so I don't really care how many towels I go through.

I'm with Kevin and Jerrod every few days or week is fine for me. When I get out of the shower I'm as clean as I'm going to get, it's all downhill from there. Any decent bodywash or soap will kill most of the germs so I'm not at all concerned with that. As a society I think we are getting too obsessed with germs to our detriment- we are developing super germs that are immune to the stuff we use.

All those Maytags and dirty towels! Eherm! Get with it mister!
Why you must have a Maytag for like every towel. I'm sure someone (ahem) could interject about how maybe 1 towel is properly loaded for a Maytag
.
In search of a quality brick for sure!

Fresh bath towel and washcloth everyday. Kitchen and bathroom hand towels once a week, and dishcloth and dish towel once a week. The dish towel and kitchen hand towel don't get used as much as the dishcloth which is used to mainly wipe up countertops w/ a dash of washing up liquid. Most all kitchen items go in the dishwasher, therefore the lack of use in regards to the dish towel.
I wait until they can stand up on their own then I know its time to change them.....
JUST KIDDING.....
Not a germ o phobe either so it's usually twice a week, more often in the humid months. If you've done a good job in the shower, what's going to get on your towel that's so horrible? If your afraid of some dead skin cells, you would never sleep in your bed, sit on your sofa, wear your bathrobe more than once, go any place that's public for that matter. Its just something you should not let your mind explore.

Once a week, quickly dried over the radiator after each use. Hand towel is changed twice a week because my GF and I share one. And as far as "rubbing your ass" goes - as Jamie so nicely put it - we use toilet paper for that... ;-)
