How often do you wash your (or DC's) jeans?

Following on from the worn clothes thread...

Supposing they are not dirty (well, not visibly dirty), how often do you wash them?

when they start to sag and lose their shape ... I have a black pair that only really looks good for one wear but usually get 2 or 3 around the place ... but a blue pair that last longer!

Usually was mine after 3 or 4 wears but ds's every day (maybe get a 2nd day once a month - He's a filth loving type). But don't wash dh's unless he puts them in wash himself on principle and thats so rare I suspect they walk there alone

Kids I wash after every wear.
Mine I wear after two wears.
DH's I wash whenever I can prise them away from him!

I hate clean jeans - they go all stiff and uncomfortable. So I do it as infrequently as I dare

Same as Hulababy for mine, kids after every wear - I don't know how they manage to get them so dirty! Dh doesn't wear jeans.

I wash them after about 3 outings (if not dirty in between of course!) I am fussy about washing them though:

my method is to wash jeans inside out and definitely tumble dry them to just slightly damp followed by immediate iron. The tumble dry softens them enough to avoid too much stiff nastiness and ironing from damp helps avoid those stripes from dried in creases. I pop a tea towel in between to stop the metal press stud type bits from shining through on my kids jeans as too small to fit over the end of the ironing board. Jeans are about the only item of clothing I am particular with though, I am a slovenly housekeeper when it comes to ironing anything/everything else

I've had the same jeans on for four days now, I'm going to a disco in the middle of town.
Everybody's dressing up, I'm dressing down.

So probably wash them on the fifth morning, in this particular case. Although I wouldn't want to be too prescriptive.
