Is it gross to rewear clothes?

I have one pair of maternity leggings that fit. I had them on yesterday all day and want to wear them again today. I didn’t go anywhere in them other than a brief trip to the shop and was otherwise at home all day. Is it fine or bad hygiene to wear them again today?

YABU - gross, find something else
YANBU - things like that are definitely fine for a second day

Not gross at all. Sensible. Wash socks and knickers after every wear obviously but everything else only when it smells or is visibly dirty. Less pointless washing for you, better for the environment, win win!

Did they get sweaty / smell ?
no - wear them. Yes wash them.

why would you wear clothes just one time ? This such an alien concept to me. Wash when they need washing 🤣

if you are struggling to be ok with this think
of it as the green option !

If they look and smell fine, they are. You will presumably be wearing clean pants underneath.

Yes and yes

If you're wearing clean knickers then I don't see the issue. I wouldn't wash a normal pair of leggings after 1 wear unless they were dirty on the outside or inside.
