to have worn the same jeans for 4 days running...

[smokinaces]

...and wondering if I can get away with wearing them again tomorrow.

I have hardly any clothes that fit (recently lost 2 stone and cant afford much new) and my 6 year old Levis finally fit. My first day off work (Wed) I wore them - they have no dirty marks or stains on them, and I have worn them every day since without washing them. Am now wondering if I can get away with wearing them tomorrow, before work Monday. Its horrible washing/drying weather at the moment, so surely if they are cleanish I can get away with wearing them?!

AIBU?

As long as they are not smelly then you are fine.

I often wear trousers for a couple of days without washing them and would certainly wear the same pair of jeans Sat and Sun.

[mwff]

not ewwww at all. if you can get away without stains/smells for a week or two whyever not? lolling at gusset sniffing.

Hassled, I am now adopting that song as my theme tune If only I was going to a disco tonight...... (and no, I dont sleep in mine!)

YANBU. Jeans are meant to be worn fror days and days without washing! I hate freshly washed jeans - all stiff and crisp, and uncomfortable!

TBH most clothes, bar underwear, should eb able to be worn more than once a day, unless you have a very active day and get all sweaty. What a waste of washing powder and electricity otherwise.

Infact, rewearing clothes is very green

i have an unwritten rule that everything is worn once then washed apart for jeans that i will wear twice if i can get away with it but i always stick them back in the wardrobe 4 another day so ppl dnt realise i wore them twice

I can't believe people wash jeans after one wear! Unless obviously stained or smelly they can go at least a week IMVHO. Bad for the environment, bad for the jeans and bad for your free time to be doing that much laundry.

I am always amazed at these threads though, whatever the garment, some people just seem desperate to wash things! I am obviously a terrible slattern.....

YANBU

[ElenorRigby]

Usually a week or so. Depends on whether I've had a post natal pelvic floor/public toilet not big enough for pram incident.

I only have one pair of jeans (and they're from Primark), my shape is still changing post-baby and I have no money to splash out on things I won't wear for long. I wash them about once a week!

[Meglet]

meant to add... I wear them everyday as well.

[southeastastra]

i wash mine once every two weeks

[JackBauWooohooohoowaaer]

I only wash my jeans on the weekend, never sooner unless DD's have chucked yoghurt or something at me, and then I have a spare pair to swap over for the rest of the week.

I used to live with someone who washed everything after one wear. And we had no tumble dryer, the whole house was constantly full of drying clothes, was a total PITA.

[southeastastra]

or have very sweaty arses

Or are just suffering from OCD? Or thrush?

[PixiNanny]

Tops I have to change twice a day, but can wear trousers for weeks on end! I wear a pair of jeans for two days before they go in the wash pile usually, however I've been known to wear jeans for a good week solid on occasion

[CurlyhairedAssassin]

Erm, twice a day? Pourquoi?

[redsofas]

i must admit my washing is probably every so slightly down to ocd i am rather too anal about allot of things actually oh shit did i just admit that!?

[acebaby]

well done on the weight loss ! And YANBU to wear your jeans for four days - assuming that (unlike me) you manage not to kneel in a puddle of something unspeakable at least once a day.

[AitchTwoToTangOh]

question: what is greener, wearing a fanny hammock and chucking it daily or washing your jeans?

i'm horrified at people who'd wash clean clothes, it's practically ocd territory afaic.

[isittooearlyforgin]

gosh! wear jeans as long as i can get away with! is that why no mums at the school gate will speak to me?
