How many times do you use your towel before washing it?

I use a pajama once, then wash it. Does everyone do the same?

With towels, I use maybe twice or three times, But I'm not really sure if it shouldn't be this way?

Clean pjs every night.
I wash my bath towels after every uses, hand towels weekly.
Bedding every 3/4 days.

I change our towels once a week, change my pjs once a week, but mainly wear a top and pants these days, so clean pants every night.

3-4 days PJs
1 week towels
1 week bedding

PJs wear once then wash
Towels my own 3 times max.
DH 2/3
GS16 twice lol.

Weekly for both PJs and towels.
You use a towel to dry clean body. If you have to change it daily, something's gone terribly wrong earlier in the process.

Pyjamas change every other night, towels used 2/3 times then change

CatsSleepFatandWalkThin · 18/01/2026 23:23

Towels every 3 days, I think. We don’t wear anything to bed. Bedding, weekly.

wineosaurus4 · 18/01/2026 23:19

Pj’s once or twice, fresh pj’s every night for the kids though. Towels get washed after maybe 3 uses?

Boredoflunch1 · 18/01/2026 23:19

7 ish times. Sometimes more in winter.

TeaRoseTallulah · 18/01/2026 23:18

New nightshirt every day and also towels.

minipie · 18/01/2026 23:18

7 times for towels.
Don’t wear pyjamas, just pants, so once. DC pyjamas changed weekly.

Tink3rbell30 · 18/01/2026 23:17

Towels once a week, PJs twice a week.

FancyCatSlave · 18/01/2026 23:16

Pyjamas usually do 3 nights unless I have had any sweats (peri). I usually don’t sleep in the bottoms as get too hot (wear them around house though).

Towels get washed weekly and get used daily. So approx 7 showers worth of use.

jamandcustard · 18/01/2026 23:15

I change pajamas everyday, towels once a week.

Flowers999 · 18/01/2026 23:14

Probably about 3 times. I will get flamed but me and my partner have about 4 large bath towels we share I wash every 3 days or so.

Strongle · 18/01/2026 23:13

PJs until I spill my breakfast or coffee down them. Towel I dunno. About 3/4 times? Until it doesn’t smell nice.

TheCurious0range · 18/01/2026 23:13

Probably 3 times? Don't really count but probably use a couple a week. Pyjamas I wear 2/3 times but wear clean knickers under

comoatoupeira · 18/01/2026 23:12

7 days for both pyjamas and towels
