Instagrammer reminding followers to change bedding on last day of month 🤢

[Travelfairy]

This page I follow, she said she always changes her bedding on the last day of the month and reminded her followers to do the same....
I commented does she only change them once a month and she said yes unless they need before that.

I thought this was completely gross!!! I change mine once a week. Absolute max maybe 9 days if particularly busy etc

YABU- once a month is fine
YANBU - thats gross

Fortnightly. I always have a shower before bed.

Meh. I don't care what a random woman does, and don't know why you do.

Ours are changed fortnightly, which I'm aware some think is grubby, but I give zero shits. The sheets don't smell, or look stained, we all wear pyjamas to bed.

I have noticed that the bedding seems less grimy since I started showering before bed. I used to do a full day in London, home around 10 pm, eating dinner on my train commute and crawl into bed exhausted. I can't imagine that now. The thought of bringing the day's dust and dirt and sweat into bed with me - just feels a bit grim.

(Not to start a 'how often do you shower' thread though).

regardless of the bedding changing - YABU for being so judgy and mean about something that doesn't concern you in the slightest. Fine to change yours more often if you want, not nice to call other people gross.

Some people might struggle to change, wash and dry full loads of bedding frequently. If they wash themselves and change pjs how dirty is the bedding really going to get over an extra 2 weeks? You don't have to sleep in it, so who cares?

How often do you wash yourself that you need to change your bedding once a week?! How sweaty/smelly are you?

Are you sharing her bed? No. None of your business.

I change mine more often than that, less often than you. I appear to have survived so far.

7 pages of bollocks and no sign of the op.....

I have multiple sheets one on top of the other so I can wake hourly and strip another layer off. If you're careful you can whip the sheet out from underneath your sleeping partner like the table cloth trick. Takes practice mind, and there were all those trips to A&E until I perfected it.

Still, what price cleanliness, eh?

How to tell me you are not menopausal without telling me you are not menopausal.

I changed mine weekly when there was a bloke in my bed. Now it's just me the sheets stay fresh for longer.

If you sleep alone, in a double bed, do you extend your bedding use by alternating sides of the bed? When I have a double bed to myself I sleep on one side, rather than the middle.

I knew a guy who would only use a bath towel once, and then....throw it away! I cannot imagine how much money he spent on towels. Clearly a mental disorder.

You win the thread! 😅

It’s basic hygiene! Just like you should be showering every day.

You’re right. I’m not but I saw my mum go through it and she definitely didn’t need to change her sheets once a week.

Is it ´normal’ for menopausal women to need to change their sheets once a week week due to sweating? I know it’s different everyone but is it that bad for some?

Competitive hygiene is boring. Do what suits you, don't look down your nose at people who do things differently. You'll be a happier person for keeping your nose out of other people's sheets.

I never get into bed unless I'm showered and change the bedding once a fortnight. Would do it more often if electricity was cheaper. If the weather's hot, once a week in summer, as I can dry it for free.

Some people must have stinky bedrooms.

Fortnightly for me is absolutely fine, although I do the pillow cases weekly. I don't sweat and have clean pyjamas on.

My childhood memories too ❤️ Although we didn’t have open fires past when I was about 5.

I'm asthmatic so change mine every 2 weeks. If it wasn't for that, I'd be more of the instagrammer's persuasion.

I wouldn't wait til the end of the month but I don't care when some other person does it, I'm not not sleeping in their bed. I normally change the sheets every 10-14 days unless I think they need it beforehand. I do tend to change them more frequently in the summer just because I might be a bit hotter overnight and also because you can get them washed and air dried and put away in the space of a couple of hours. Overall, I've never noticed any ill effects or benefits or any other impact derived from how often I do or don't change my sheets.

I think you're being really insensitive talking about your fancy bedlinen.
I use newspaper, and if I can only get hold of The Daily Mail, I have nightmares.

I sleep standing up, like a horse. Standing on stilts, so my feet wouldn't touch the ground, and change the stilts daily. Anything else is minging, filthy, dirty, ewww, disgusting, gross.

😆😆😆

Don’t people realise how much skin they shed? You’d be able to see it in a sunbeam and you might be horrified. It’s not about sweating or not - it’s about the millions of sloughed-off old skin scales lurking in the bedding.

Ugh. The thought of not changing it for a month. I bet these people’s houses stink. When you go into some houses there’s just a sour, musty smell and it’s usually dirty clothes or rancid bedding.

I’d give someone like that a swerve.
