Abstract: A body drying system is disclosed for drying the entire body of a user, or alternatively, the towel or robe of a user. The body drying system of this invention includes a rectangular housing with apertures formed within its forward face. The apertures are designed to allow for the passage of warmed air. The housing is specifically dimensioned to fit between a towel rack and the wall onto which the rack is mounted. Thus, the operator may stand in front of the apertures of the housing in order to dry himself or herself. Alternatively, the operator may hang a towel or robe on the rack in front of the apertures. Controls are provided for selecting the degree of heating, the starting time, and the stopping time of the drying system.
