How many times do you wear your clothes before washing them

Sunnyisland

Just looking at my shirt I had in last night, will I wear it again today ? it looks and smells fine, Will anyone notice I have it on again today ? What about tshirt said or other tops how many wears do you get out of them ? So AH how many times you wearing same clothes before washing them .

brummytom

If it looks and smells alright, then maybe twice. Any more than that and you're kidding yourself.

Washing my clothes before I wash them? Thats 'pre-wash' right?

As a motorcycle rider I never wash my Levi's, forms a waterproof coating and makes me look the part.

Just seen that :-) should have been wearing , maybe mods can change it, it's to early to be starting threads anyway.

4 times, 4 times is the magic number fs you don't do it that many number of times you're doing it wrong.

With a t-shirt I would change everyday along with pjs but would get two or three days out of my work trousers

CFlat

If it looks clean and there isnt a smell of sweat in the armpit area, drive on.

Aint Eazy Being Cheezy

I throw my socks at the wall and if they don't stick to it, then they're clean enough to wear again. Likewise if my boxers don't stand up by themselves, they're going back on me.

Socks, jocks, t-shirts, shirts: one wear.
Jeans: maybe two wears.
Outer clothes like hooddies, geansais, depends on wear, condition etc.
Jackets: periodically, according to needs.
Runners, slippers: nose test.

Right Turn Clyde

Anything that touches the skin gets only one wear. In fairness though, I'm a big fat smelly bastard.

I always wash them before washing them. Or, I never do so. Take your pick.

strelok

sweatpants 2-3 wears, maybe 4 if I know I'm not leaving the house on the fourth
jeans only if they get smelly. apparently you're not supposed to wash jeans terribly often
jumper 2-4 days unless i get them obviously dirty I'm not that fussy about jumpers.
tshirt every day, even if I shower twice in a day I have to change tshirts. I hate putting on tshirts i've already worn for longer than a couple of hours. it just feels ick
socks same as tshirts. i feel like crying if i have to put yesterdays pair of socks on in the morning
underpants every day. every god damn day [snipped]

I like that. Awaiting response from [snipped]. He's probably in the shower.

Sam Kade

Is this a follow on of the how often do you shower change your underpants thread?

CFlat

As for jeans.

You take off the label when you buy them.You wear them for 5 years until someone asks have you joined a Bon Jovi tribute band, then you bin them.

Washing not required.

Anybody else find these threads just utterly pointless and coma inducingly boring?

And the scores of people replying: I have to ask WHY?

Sleep time; showers per day; pizza toppings; washing clothes.

The banality is astonishing.

Three options chief.
1) Ignore these thread if you dont like them
2) Start some exciting threads yourself
3) Stay out of AH if it is not your cup of tea.

Irish people are actually quite funny. You don't see it in every thread, but even the worst topics can throw up some good lines.

That's why I'm here. What your excuse? Still waiting on the Sunday Business Post to be delivered?

PowerToWait

Alright 'chief'. Nothing like some chest thumping on a Sunday morning.

I been reading and contributing here for a decade. I'm entitled to bemoan the ' How often you clip your toenails 'chief'?' shlt that's become all pervasive.

Put your advice in your ass.

Come on. Someone made a mistake in their thread title. That's AH comedy gold on a hungover Sunday!

Anyway, I'd wash everything other than skirts / jeans after one wear. I love the smell of fabric softener on freshly washed clothes.

This is my first time, honest. I just couldn't let it go. On reflection I see I need to lighten up and not offend all those who are offended by my being bored.

I wash my clothes when they need washing.

Feel liberated.

CliCliW

T shirts are generally 2 or 3 wears, depending on what I've been up to. If they smell then it's the wash for them.

Underwear, socks, daily.

Jeans, whenever I think they could do with it. I own two pairs of jeans currently so I need to be tactical with my rotation.

Hoodies, once in a blue moon, wait for obvious dirt/smell before washing.

PJs, I used to wash weekly but since I've moved out of home I forget to wash them as often..

You wear your clothes in bed and change them once a week

Put your advice in your ass.

So which is it?

1. It's taken you over ten years to notch up 137 posts.
2. You're so embarrassed/ashamed of your previous opinions that you've had to create a new account.
3. You're too stupid to remember passwords and got locked out of Boards/your email. You should start a 'how to remember simple words?' thread.

Incidentally, how often do you clip your toenails?

It was a joke like

charlietheminxx

Underwear and socks - daily, sometimes twice a day (would change if I was going out in an evening).

Bras I get maybe 3 days out of, I rotate wear so it's hard to call.

Tops, dresses & t-shirts - usually daily, occasionally a second day.

Jeans, skirts and trousers - depends on the fabric but would usually get 2-3 wears out of them before a wash.

I feel like I should sit back and wait to be called a dirty knacker now.

Nah, sorry, I didn't get that one. That may be the fault of my brain this morning though. N'mind.

Penny Tration

Bar skirts, which I'll wear two or three times, everything else is changed daily.

Always get two wears out of t-shirts, shirts etc, jeans/trousers would be much longer 7 days+ Of continuous wear. Underwear two days and socks everyday.

I don't wear my jumpers much once here and once there so could get months between washes and jackets probably get washed (dry cleaned usually) once a year if ever.

Yeah, we see where you got your user name.

kylith

Maybe twice, if it looks and smells fine; I'd still blast it with Febreeze though, so it smells fresh.

I'd never wear the same top two days running though. People will notice.

kfallon

Two days out of trousers/jeans....everything else is changed daily! Washed after use too

theteal

Socks and jocks get worn once.
T-shirts could be 2-3 days (in reality after the work clothes come off they're only getting worn for 4-5 hours max per day before sleepy time)
Shirts once - could go a second day if I've been slacking on the wash loads, very rare though.
Khakis/chinos get worn for the guts of a week - see T-shirts reasons above.
Jeans/shorts/hoodies - when I spill something on them.

The Backwards Man

How long is a 'wear'? I have to change anything up to a dozen times a day, between clean work and dirty work. So that's maybe six wears in one day right away.

DanielODonnell

I wear my work clothes for a week as i do factory work and i would wear the boxer shorts for 2 days as they are not dirty, men do not secrete liquids on their underwear like women would do unless you are viewing pornographic material

I would wear jeans for a month as i am not a pretty boy so i am not

We do, even a few shakes after a piss won't stop all the dribble.

There is a fourth option: he may be a re-reg.

.... but, no, come to think of it thats against the rules, so theres no re-regs here.

Not if you wash your dick in the sink.
Not that anybody does that.

boobar

Tshirts, socks, jocks - one wear
Shirts - one wear
Jeans & trousers - 2 wears
Jumpers, hoodies - 6 or 7 wears

It's very embarrassing when you are in your local and somebody walks in.
Try Peni pads. You might even be able to swim and ride horses.
