Roughly the same as the original poster.

Underwear, socks and shirts are a wear once => Wash affair

Edit:How often to wash your bedding? Besides after having fun with the misses of course ;)

About the same. It depends on what I did while I wore the jeans. Usually 2-3 wears, though.

Underwear, socks and T-shirts always one wear.

Sweaters (fleece and cotton) can last a long time for me though, because I always wear something underneth them. Wool lasts even longer, because I only wear wool on dressy occations.

Washing your clothes more often than needed dramtically shortens their lifespan.

I'm a cheap old bastard. :p

- T-shirts/boxers/socks - once
- Shirts - 99% of the time just once, but if I don't go anywhere or don't do anything all day, I may wear it again
- Pants - 2-3 times
- And I use my towel between 2 and 4 times.

Everything is worn once, then washed once.

I have my own towel which I wash once or twice a week.

I wash my blanket cover once every 2 weeks.

You guys are smelly.

Why do people wash their towels? Think about it, when I come out of the shower, I am the cleanest object in my house. That towel should be getting cleaner each time it touches me.

I wash mine when I take a shower, so that's about every 2 to 3 weeks they get cleaned.

Pretty much the same for me..

socks get 1 wear, underwear get 1 wear, shirts get 1 wear.. jeans anywhere from 1 - 5 wears.. depends on what I've been doing.

Unless you really scrub yourself, like with a brush.. until your skin is red, then you are not perfectly clean. You would probably be shocked if you knew the ammount of dead skin cells your towel exfoliates when you dry off after a shower.

i've met quite a few people who use a new shower towel per day and end up having to do a whole load of laundry just for shower towels. that's weird to me.

Towels, used once, washed once.

I am not going to wipe my face with a towel that my little 8 year old just wiped his ass with that's for sure.

LMAO!

about the same as the first poster, but sometimes i'll wear levis a few extra days because 501's start to fit so much better after you've worked a little sweat into them. other pants are 2-3 days though.

there is no way it's worth it washing something like a sweater after every time
sometimes i pickup a sweater that's been worn once and it still smells like it's just come outta the wash... like why wash it again????
i always decide on a whim... i don't have a certain time frame of when things need to be washed... cept any first layer of clothes, needs to be washed after every wear. (socks, underwear)

pants usually wear a few times like sweaters, and then wash.

Most clothing once a wear. But things like pullover sweaters/sweats I just wash em when they get dirty. Coats every other month.
