Jeans

[tom_e]

haven't we done this before?

depends how quickly they get dirty, but seem to remember someone from last time this came up saying that demin should not be washed too regularly.

Numerous times.

At some point we'll have the raw denim krew arrive calling anyone who washes jeans dirty heathens.

When they lose their shape at the bum.

I'll wash them if they're visibly dirty / smell, sometimes this could mean 3+ months between washes.

 

[beachBOYken]

I've never washed my jeans.

 

[Greebo]

I know several people who never ever wash their jeans.

 

[Rids]

I tried the whole put them in the freezer thing, felt strange, went back to washing them.

 

[Freefaller]

Get washed when they look dirty. Could be one day, could be 10. Could be a month.

This.

I had read that jeans only ever need washing when they are physically dirty...all the other times just stick them in the freezer to kill off any bugs.

A little extreme for me, but I can go around a week before washing mine as long as they are not physically dirty.

they must stink

 

[insane200]

A few days before i change into a different pair unless they get dirty.

 

[Snookums]

Plot twist, you're not actually supposed to wash jeans.

 

[Edrof]

Until they get dirty enough to need a wash, which depends entirely as to what im doing.

Same here.

I will wash them when they get dirty or too stinky. But this can typically a month of daily use, it has been known to be several months. Washing jeans regularly seems wrong.

My shirts, socks, undies all get washed after a single wear.

Close to two weeks usually. Work is usually indoors , so not that much dust gets accumulated on it.

 

[MooMoo444]

Yeah I don't wash them until they get dirty...

Usually get 5-10 wears out of them!

That's grim. You probably smell pretty bad and don't realize it.

Reading further down it seems more are like this. I get they shouldn't be washed daily but for so long.. grim.

 

[Thekwango]

how long do you wear them for?

until people start avoiding me, or the stink gets the better of me - the former usually happens first

joking aside, usually until they look dirty

 

[Yaayuh!]

Come on OP, this is GD. Did you not think we'd gone through this one already?

Wait, you are supposed to wash them?

 

[BigT]

Context is everything though.

Where are the jeans worn - nights out getting all sorts of crap spilled on them then wash more frequently than say if you wear them for a desk job for 8 hours a day.

How much does the wearer sweat and how often do they wash themselves? Shower every day, it's cold and you don't sweat much and the insides aren't going to get so dirty.

Go commando then wash after use compared to substantial underwear which keeps your privates well away from the denim prolonging time between washes.

Take them out of drawer. Wear. Remove. Leave on floor/in bathroom/on a chair/on bed. Take them out of drawer....and so on.

What my wife does with them between picking them up and putting them in the drawer is her business.
