You can say: - I need to dry off. - I am drying myself off. - I want a clean towel to dry off with. Good luck!

We say dry ourselves with a towel. Hope this helps :)

The usual way is to say "dry off."

Let me summarize everyone's answers (which were all correct) We have two main options: to use the phrasal verb "dry off" or to use "dry" by itself. Both of these can be used with the reflexive pronoun (myself), with or without whatever you're using. Consider these examples: I need to dry off. I need to dry myself off. I need to dry myself off with a towel. I need to dry (I'd say this is rare). I need to dry myself. I need to dry myself with a towel. Personally, I think the option of using the phrasal verb is much, much more natural.

You can say “Dry off” or “Dry off with a towel.” For example you can say, “I took a shower and dried off.”
