Do you wash your pants after every time you wear them?

Supernerd

Idk  'bout you guys,but unless i spilt something on my jeans or i got really sweaty that day,or i can actually see a stain of some kind on them;I can usually go quite a stretch without having to wash my pants. i almost always wash my shirts and socks after wearing them once or twice in a row,unless i didn't leave the house that day.

You're talking about trousers I take it? Us Brits read that question as about underpants.

LOL yeah i mean trousers.

if i do wear underpants i always wash them like right away..unless there isn't enough whites.Then i have to mix whites and colorsor just toss them in a pile. Unless they were boxers or something..or unless the jeans are really tight; then i try never to wash them.But anyways,yeah i meant jeans/trousers.

I wear my trousers about twice and then wash. If I just lounge and do nothing, maybe 3

Nope just throw them into the hamper and when i run out of pants and or shirts and laundry isnt done i find the least dirty of them all, take them out and spray some febreeze or deoderant spray and maybe even use that tide to go pen on them and thyre clean as can be.



It may seem dirty but as long as other people dont notice does it really matter? and dont worry im a pretty clean guy just not organized and very lazy.

hmm you sound like a normal type guy.

But what do you do if the jeans are brand new?

Would you wash them first before you wore them?

Hahaha,i USED to be like that like a month or 2 ago,but then i realized that even after showering i could smell myself.

and if i could actually smell myself...it must be pretty bad and i imagined what others could smell on me...

so i just stopped doin that.

Is this thread supposed to be interesting at all?



I usually wash my jeans after 2 wears.

Two or three times for jeans, though I don't always wear the same pair the next day.  I do all the laundry so, after all these years, I'm not entirely sure when my husband would remember to do the wash.  I always wash new jeans before they're worn.

Enigma is lucky to be married to you then.

i usually wash brand new jeans too cause they hurt when i move in them and they aren't broken in yet.

I never wash new jeans first.  I always felt like new jeans fit best, and once you wash them they never fit as well again.  Only one pair of jeans I've ever owned that fit better after washing them, lee dungarees or something like that.  Best damn jeans I've ever owned.

This thread made me laugh

Anyways, if you are referring to jeans, you shouldnt wash so many times as it will spoil the jeans material and shape, but provided you are a clean person ^^. I have a friend that didnt wash hers for 2 yrs. And it is still looking as new..LOL. I do wash only after 3 wears though.

For other materials pants/trousers, will have to wash as frequently as possible~~1 wear

I'm sure Enigma is a very lucky bloke.  I'm not married to him, however.  My husband complains when I marry strangers online. 



I have to wash new jeans because whatever chemicals they use on them seems to irritate my skin if I don't.  Once I wash them, however, they're fine.

You remind me of a guy I was stationed with in Germany. He smelled so bad my NCO ended up having to order him to bathe every other day. What was really bad about it, was he didn't follow the order. That's when our squadron commander got involved and gave him the order and our crew had to alternate watching him shower to make sure he did it. Some people sheesh.

I wash everything every day.  Socks and underwear for obvious reasons.  But pants and shirts because I smoke and hang out at bars...so that stuff can reek.

someone else already mentioned.. washing jeans too much really kills them.  they also wear/look better if you wear them more often before washing them.  if you wash jeans every time you wear them, the way they fade looks way too washed out.

I wash mine after wearing them for about 5-7 times.  my other trousers I wash after wearing them twice.  denim is made to be worn down and not washed through so much.  granted that your in a fairly clean environment meaning your not a smoker and dont do a lot of food prep with hot oil or deep frying.  whata combo.. cigarette smoke and deep fried fat.. mmmm

heres a caveat.  If youre into country/western line dancing.  then you wash your jeans after every wear and starch the crap out of them. as soon as theres a slight hint of fade, you cut them up to the nuts for a nice pair of daisy dukes to wash the car or mow the lawn in.  god forbid your caught our at the local bar stomp wearing anything less than cobalt blue colored denim stiff as press board.

I was my cloths every time unless I am out and I have to help someone with work that will get them even more dirty. If not I will just wear boxers until they are washed.



It should also be noted that I have a bit of compulsive disorder, so much so that if I even wear them in a car for only 5 minutes I have to wash them.

Wearing your socks more than once between washes is just plain disgusting.

NEVER! Horrendous thought. I use pretty expensive jeans and for some to me unknown reason they tend to lose some of the color when you wash them. I (read mom) therefore refrain from washing my jeans. I (read mom)wash the jeans maybe once per month. If I doesn't have any spot on it, if the spot is very visible I wash them directly however.

EDIT: I use my jeans every day.

defenestrate

I wear my jeans 3 times before I wash them, there wicked comfortable after they have been worn a bunch of times in a row. Unless some accident happens where I shart or something( Yeah its happened once )

PTED

Err I wear all articles of clothing continuously until my mother washes them, my clothes dont smell or anything even before the wash and sometimes I ask her not to wash them due to this

usbserial

I usually wear them 2-3 times before washing. I once wore a pair maybe 15 times before washing... kinda gross. It started to smell.

I do the laundry here, being the wife... I have some jeans I wear a couple of times, but mostly I wash everything everyday. It's just part of my routine to keep laundry from piling up. I am down to just 4 kids living at home, but that's still a lot of laundry on a daily basis.

paulscott

jeans are good for 2-3 wears assuming you don't do work in them.  most other pants/trousers are only good for 2 wears at best.
