How many times do you wear your clothes before washing them

fussyonion · 30-08-2015 3:53pm

Bra-I change it every 2 days.
Underwear-Every day. No excuses.
Socks-Every day.
Tights-Every day.
T-shirt-Every day.
Jumper-Might get 3 wears out of it if it doesn't smell or hasn't been stained.
Jeans-I probably get 10 wears out of jeans before washing.
Dresses-3 wears, then I'd wash.

A few drops of piss, who cares. Two days is perfectly acceptable for boxers.

In other words nobody, if they buried their nose right against the fabric their might be a hint of a smell. In normal everyday contact, with jeans/trousers on and wearing deodorant not a chance.

Unless you spray your penis with that deodorant, there's every chance.

How about spray the boxers and the jeans? It's just nonsense to claim a person can smell that you are wearing boxers for the second day, you couldn't tell if they were on the 4th day never mind the 2nd day.

The drawers and socks are washed after one wear, the boulder-holders after two (they lose the elastic goodness too quickly after washing), I'd wear shirts and t-shirts only once, jeans and skirts twice, and things like sweaters after two or three.

Scarves, gloves, knit hats etc., after a week or so. Sheets and bedding at least once a week, towels after each use, kitchen tea towels after a days use, and things like cushion covers and curtains would probably get a whizz round the washer a couple of times a year.

I'm not afraid of the washing machine and dryer.

DanielODonnell · 30-08-2015 8:09pm

I must state that alot of ladies in USA and England (some in Ireland too) sell their knickers online, you can buy them to be worn for over 3 days, the next time you see an attractive young woman, just think she may have 3 day old panties on. Some even do it for a week.

There's a very attractive woman from Galway selling panties i noticed.

I read 'drawers' and thought, "Candie is always so refined" and a few words down the line you hit me with 'boulder-holders' :pac:

I love the term drawers! I despise the word 'panties', and knickers sounds so 18th Century. Drawers is where it's at. No pun intended.

Boulder-holders was my granddads term, or more precisely, the over-shoulder-boulder-holder.

Do people actually wash hats and gloves, ever I mean?

I have hats for 5 or 6 years that I never considered washing.

Yes, most people would consider clothing items worn on the hands or head worth washing at some point. Do you not think that six year old gloves might be a little grubby? Or a hat worn on your head, with it's oils and sweat, might need a wash, even after a year or so?

Although nothing about your post surprises me.

Yeah "panties" just sounds creepy in my head

I wouldn't wash towels after every use I have to say ... I'm clean and they're clean ... maybe a few washes or so
Sheets every week MAYBE 2 if i'm lazy

Panties is the word that the guy who creeps into your garden to steal your smalls from the wash line uses. :mad:

what kind of rank amateur takes them after they've been washed?

conorh91 · 30-08-2015 10:42pm

depends on the clothes.

Expanding circles.

Underwear and socks get updated daily.
Shirts every couple of days.
Sweaters, hoodies and trousers get washed once a week... maybe ten days
Suits can go months without cleaning.

Well people don't usually hang them out on the line when they're 'dirty'

The Dogs Bollix · 30-08-2015 10:49pm

I wear everything once before washing them, even jeans. Only cause I wear them to work and they can get dirty very quickly.

Well just make sure you wipe your noob with a bit of tissue after shaking it. As for sweaty balls, just put some baby powder on them and they'll be grand. No smells.

I don't wash my clothes, I just kill a new buffalo an skin it.

Lia_lia · 30-08-2015 10:53pm

Underwear, socks, dresses (unless I only have on for a few hours) and t-shirts I'll only wear once before washing.

Jeans/shorts/trousers/skirts about 3 times before washing.
Bras for about 3 days also.
Jumpers depend, usually 2-4 days.
Coats depend on how much I wear them and how dirty they get.

If you frequent public transport, it happens far too often.

This is sadly true.

Also all this baby powder and bla bla bla... Surely it's less effort to just pull on some fresh underwear??

Quite frequently, actually. yesterday was the last time. Travelling on four buses a day for work, as well as working in retail, it's pretty common to have someone near you who smells like pee.

Boskowski · 31-08-2015 8:13am

Throw your socks against the wall. If they don't stick they're grand.

31-08-2015 8:22am

Once for tops, maybe twice for jeans. Far too hot to rewear stuff.

sobeitamen · 31-08-2015 8:51am

This morning. We've got a few stinkers at work, I'm just really, really lucky for not having to sit next to any of them.

Demographically speaking, they are all young (mid to late 20s) Irish males.

Duggy747 · 31-08-2015 10:16am

Keep going until you can't hide the skidmarks anymore.

It gets real tricky hiding the skidmarks off the shirts....

I have to agree with others. It happens the odd time on public transport and very seldomly at work when im in a canteen queue. Usually one has to be pretty close to the individual to smell it.

I guess its a lot like smoking. Smokers can't even get the smell on themselves or their clothes but everyone who is not a smoker can get the rank smell. I know there are certain houses i visit where i have to wash all my clothes immediately after because of the smell of cigarettes smoke that has transferred to them.The smokers in question could carry on for days oblivious to their own smell.

I have to imagine it's the same for those with BO or piss stains on them because tif they could smell themselves, they'd clean up.

The nose is a funny thing, it adjusts to regular smells to the point we don't notice them as much. Case in point my car, i always use a good car freshener but after a few days i cant really smell it anymore. I tend to forget it until someone compliments the car smell which i usually find strange as i can't smell it anymore at that point

Very similar to perfume - if you can smell it yourself, you're probably wearing too much of it.

worst I had fro that was a golf course club house where I was cadging free wifi while trying to get my internet connected. some piped air freshener that stank and clung to all my clothes and skin and made me wheeze. even thinking if it sets me off , worse than walking ash trays
