Whatever has happened to the good old flannel?

When it comes to showering, nothing beats the good old flannel. Loofahs have their place, but they cannot compare. I always chuckle when we stay with good friends and they give me a towel AND a flannel. Haha they know me too well!
But it seems that flannels are fast becoming an extinct species. Sometimes when we stay with people and I ask if I can borrow a flannel, they give me blank looks or simply don't own any. I was horrified when we went to Melbourne and the hotel had no flannels. I had to go out and buy one. A hotel with no flannels? Outrageous.
Yep, what is happening to the good old flannel?
I don't get it. Please explain

Woah I have piles of flannels in the cupboard. I always leave a flannel with a towel on peoples bed when they stay over, but most of the times they don't use. I didn't think it was weird...I need one to wash my ultra-sensitive face with each night, so I can't have enough flannels in the house these days. Must have a fresh one every day.
Is this a WA word? We call that a "washer" where I come from.
I don't use one, by the way, I just use a hand and soap on my sensitive skin. Everyone else in our house uses one, though.
I've heard it called a 'face washer' or 'face cloth', but even after using those terms many people still looked confused or just didn't own any. Not sure if its a WA term, but the terms used seem to differ between the UK, Canada etc.
Just come over here, we live in flannel-world. Every hotel has flannels, as every household. How else could you stand the cold temps after a hot shower???
Do you mean towels, Iris?
