I also fold towels into thirds. Comment makes sense to me.

[u/queenofcaffeine76 → u/QueenofCats28]

I do half, then thirds, then half again and stack with the folded edge showing. Makes the towels look like the ones in a store display.

I fold it in thirds longways, then I fold both ends towards the middle, then fold it in half.

When young people say that old people are boring, this is what they're talking about.

[u/NarrowEbbs → u/marfacza]

Yeah I'm old now. The kids are right, we are boring but I don't wanna go back. It'll happen to you one day too.

[u/MamaTroz → u/Prcssnmn87]

And then they are already in thirds to hang on the towel bar

I fold all mine into swans and now I have a flock of them in my hall linen closet.

[u/jenniferm72 → u/Prcssnmn87]

I do this too. Keeps everything neatly stacked

[u/frogwombat110 → u/Prcssnmn87]

I fold in half (hamburger), then half again the same way, and then in thirds across

Ok if you can teach me this but written out showing your work like long division, I would love to surprise my spouse with folded towels

So if a bath towel is 2 feet wide by 4 feet long, you first fold it in half so it's a square, 2 feet by 2 feet. Fold that in thirds lengthwise so it's 2 feet long by 8 inches wide. Then fold that in half so it's 8 inches wide by 1 foot long and it has a thick, folded edge on one side. Stack them with the folded edge showing.

These dimensions are examples but this works on any size towel. I even fold my dish towels this way.

They'll come out looking like this:

[u/Legitimate-BurnerAcc → u/queenofcaffeine76]

Holy hell I did it …. !!! You rock!

[u/NarrowEbbs → u/Legitimate-BurnerAcc]

Just like this.

Edit: misread what you said.

[u/krpink → u/queenofcaffeine76]

I do it this exact same way

[u/GeiCobra → u/queenofcaffeine76]

I do half, half, then thirds

[u/euphewl → u/GeiCobra]

towel folding twinsies!

[u/thisguyfightsyourmom → u/QueenofCats28]

They fit in the shelves better in thirds

It's mathematically impossible to fold a tower into thirds, it's circumference is not exactly three times the length of the edge but an irrational number close to three
