Haha, sorry, for some reason, that question just struck me as funny. I guess if you're worried about creating swirl marks on your skin, you could switch to MF towels. :D

Seriously, while I don't see a problem with it, the MF towels I used (not the waffle weave) tend to grab the surface they are drying, so I imagine it would be a little uncomfortable to use MF towels for human use. You could be the first, though. But would you really want to use MF towels that have been collecting wax and polish and all sorts of road grime?

Microfibre towels are widely sold in outdoor/camping stores for just this purpose. You won't have any problems.

I think it'll be cool as long as you're wet. Because when you're dry and your skin is rough it tends to be rough on the skin. Well, for us guys with our skin anyway. Gotta make sure your skin is smooth because like markd stated, it tends to grab the surface.

My girlfriend thought of this too. She said, "Why do you take more care of your car than you do yourself?"

:D

I don't see a problem with this either. Like markd said, they usually tend to grab to the surface. However, if you try a waffle weave towel, which is great for drying due to its absorbing capability, im sure it would work great. The waffle weave towels are still microfiber - just made using a different weave than your average microfiber towel. If you try it out - let us know how it works .

Wife actually gave me a MF bathrobe for Christmas, so I have to pretend that it feels great.

If you don't have a lot of body hair it would work great. I am told that divers (the ones that are in the olympics not the scuba type) use them all the time.
