I wash my clothes after I wear them, each time. Unwashed clothes get a certain funk, even if they look clean. You can always tell when people do this. It’s a little metallic.
Jeans & shirts & pants I hang up and don’t wash often. I have lots of them, so not sure of the interval but maybe 10 - 15 wears? Underwear and workout clothes I wear once and wash.
Office job, I do bike in but not far. Merino wool t shirts or loose shirts for work.
Of course if I spill something on them I wash them.
I only wash them when I shit myself.
So twice a day?
On a good day.
When required.
Damn. okay.
Are you 2 years old?
Where did this ‘never wash your jeans!’ mentality come from?
It feels like jeans - regardless of designer or ‘raw denim’ status - were clothes until about seven years ago, then they became fragile and precious jewels.
News flash: if you’re worried about washing your jeans, you’re inventing problems because you have none of your own.
The 60’s - when jeans were still very rough material and needed a LOT of breaking in.
Today’s jeans are wimpy by comparison.
But regardless of the material, I wash my pants when they get dirty, not every time I wear them.
I remember the raw denim trend in like the early 2010s ans you allegedly weren’t supposed to wash those, but even then that’s a very specific type of jeans we’re talking.
Where did this ‘never wash your jeans!’ mentality come from?
The same place all religious and other propaganda comes from. Plus it’s useful to spot the gullible and easily led people so you can avoid them to save your sanity!
Just get into the hotub with them after your workout, but take them off just before you fuck your boyfriend.
I went to Europe in 2007 or something and a pair of Levis were stupid expensive. They just make that shit up and create value out of bullshit. Levis have been $30 when they last raised minimum wage in The 90s. These prices make no sense.
Same place the “never wash your cast iron pans” notion came from. Internet hivemind bullshit.
If I wear them daily, then weekly. So about once every 5–7 wears.
Nose blindness is real and jeans are very washable. Wash your jeans you stinky hippies.
I’m this economy? You must mean how often do I wash my jean.
The same amount as any other article of clothing,
I wash my clothes when they’re smelly or dirty. Washing them when they’ve only been worn once is insane and terrible for the environment.
When they appear dirty or smell. A hoodie that I wore on a lazy day may get a couple wears before wash. My comfy sweat pants I treat like my jeans. Everything else gets one wear then washed.
I don’t see the need to wash something that doesn’t look or smell dirty.
Once every wear or two.
I only wash them when they’re dirty.
Jeans? Kinda depends on the use.
Most days, I don’t do shit that dirties anything but underwear, which gets changed at least daily. So in most senses, any given pair of jeans can go weeks without accumulating anything but dead skin cells, some skin oil, and some of my pimp juice.
That being said, I ain’t going to wear the same pair more than three days unless my back is so fucked up that changing them isn’t realistic.
Given that I’ve accumulated jeans over the years in various sizes as my body changed post-disability, I have enough pairs that I could hypothetically change pants every day and not wear the same pair twice in a month. Mind you, I’m bigger than I was for some of them and can’t wear them. I’m also smaller than I was for some of them, and even a belt can’t make them comfortable to wear for long. So I have maybe a dozen pair that are in rotation, plus a couple that are for when I’m doing something really grungy (like OP’s mom).
Assuming my brain isn’t fucked (and I’m only on lemmy to keep myself from going nuts until I can head to the hospital for a family member, so it’s fucked), that would work out to any given pair being washed ten-ish times a year? I think? It’s math, so I’m probably wrong.
I do know that most months, I only have to do two loads of laundry that isn’t underwear. If I only wore jeans, the math would work out, but there are days I don’t wear jeans, so I dunno.
I just wear them in the shower
RFK? Is that you?
I probably get a month, possibly two, out of them between washes. I work from home though, so they don’t really get that dirty.
