Reference for Shabbat 22:5

הָרוֹחֵץ בְּמֵי מְעָרָה וּבְמֵי טְבֶרְיָא וְנִסְתַּפֵּג, אֲפִלּוּ בְעֶשֶׂר אֲלוּנְטִיאוֹת, לֹא יְבִיאֵם בְּיָדוֹ. אֲבָל עֲשָׂרָה בְנֵי אָדָם מִסְתַּפְּגִין בַּאֲלוּנְטִית אַחַת פְּנֵיהֶם יְדֵיהֶם וְרַגְלֵיהֶם, וּמְבִיאִין אוֹתָהּ בְּיָדָן:

If one bathed in the waters of a cave or in the waters of Tiberias, and he wiped himself, even with ten towels, [one after the other — Even though not much water was absorbed in each one, still,] he may not bring them in his hand into his house, even by means of an eiruv. For there is no problem of carrying here, but a decree, lest he forget and wring them out upon entering]. But ten men can wipe their faces, hands, and feet with one towel and bring it in their hands. [for since they are many, they will remind each other. Even with one towel for ten men, where much water is absorbed, still, they may bring it in their hands, and we do not fear that they might wring it out.]
