Once. Unless it has no skin contact like a top layer jumper. If it’s next to skin, including tops, jeans, trousers etc, it’s one day only. Kids and adults.

Jeans a few times, jumpers a couple of times. Everything else once. DH is the same.

Daughter 4 and son 9 months, usually once for everything.

I generally wear a top for two days unless it is very sweaty or I've spilt something down it. Jeans I wear for 3-4 days unless I've messed them up somehow. Hoodies until they get mucky or smell!

Jeans maybe 3 times. Tops generally twice. It depends whether my kids put their grubby paws on them. I shower every morning and have a desk job, they aren't getting sweaty and smelly. With kids twice if it stays clean enough, which is rare.

Most things once. Jeans I’ll wear quite a few times before washing. I definitely don’t wash my bras often enough Blush

See, my dh thinks I’m weird because I always wash dds uniforms after one wear, I have a friend who only washes the uniform once a week and most friends I know let them have at least a couple of wears first. I just can’t do it 🙈

I’ll wear jeans a couple of times, everything else once.

I’ve had the same jeans on all week Shock
Few times for everything generally.
The young un wears everything once but he gets scruffy about a millisecond after getting dressed.

If I don't get at least a week out of a pair of jeans or a bra, I'd be cross!

I wear everything at least twice or three times, apart from knickers and socks. In general, DS got at least two wears out of everything, even as a toddler.

I don’t have a fixed time. If it’s got dirt/food on it or it smells then it goes in the wash. Sometimes that’s a week, sometimes that is an hour.

Tops once, bottoms and cardigans 3-4 times, washable coats get done yearly in the summer.

Jeans and cardigans a few days, tops once.

DS I usually get two days out of his vest and top, his jumper and tracksuit bottoms get dirty every day at nursery. (He is out of nappies so it's a normal vest, not one with poppers)
The baby isn't a sicky type so usually gets 2 days out of vests and baby grows.

Every thing once except trousers they get two unless they’re dirty.
