What about the kiddos? I'll wear jeans 3 times, but DD only once before washing...just the germs and time spent on the floor at school, etc. That's it. Just curious. Thanks.
It depends. I like to wear them at least 3 times. I like the kids to wear theirs at least three times as well, but they often throw them in the laundry after one wear:( I go by whether they are visibly dirty, or they smell, or they are stretched out of shape.
Me, twice if that. Never ever more than that.
Kiddos, once. They sit on the ground at school. Yuck!
Kids & hubby gets washed after 1 use. For me, it depends where I wear them and if I have to sit down on a chair/bench etc. If I don't have to sit on anything in a public place, I will wear again. But if I have to sit, then they get washed.
I heard that if they are tight and have spandex, you should wash them in cold, delicate and gentle dry or hang after each wear (same with bras) so that your body oil does not break down fabric and cause them to stretch out.
Otherwise I wear them tons of time unless I spill something on them...
Kids? They wear until visibly dirty.
Generally 3 times. Unless they are visibly dirty or stinky.
Everyone's pants get washed after one wearing.
It depends how much you sweat in them.
If I'm out working in the yard - everything goes in the wash when I come in.
If I'm doing anything that generates a sweat, 3 days is fine.
I want my clothes to wear out from being worn not from being washed excessively.
All that lint in the dryer lint trap = your clothes deteriorating.
I wash after wearing once.
Twice for me, once for the kids.
If I lived in MA. I could wear jeans for days.. But down here, when we have the high humidity and 100 weather for weeks at a time, I gladly peel off jeans, if I can even stand to wear them, and throw them in the dirty clothes.
Most times they are damp with sweat every day.Our clothes have to be washed almost every day.
Usually twice. When my kids were of an age that I still did their wash, usually they just wore them once. Now my son is 14 and does his own laundry, I don't know if he wears his once or twice. My daughter is in college and I have no idea what she wears, when she wears it or how often she does laundry
It depends on whether they keep their shape or get baggy in the butt. But 3 days sounds right to me if they keep their shape...... unless of course I fall in a puddle of mud.
I wear them until they're visibly dirty or start to smell.
I don't worry about germs on my jeans from sitting on a public bench or even (gasp!) on the ground.
Twice for me. Once for the boys most of the time when I washed their clothes.
Once for everyone in our household.
Two or 3 for me, depending on activities. Twice for my 9 year old. Two or three for hubby. Once for 2 year old because she gets food, etc on them. Sometimes we even wear 2 in one day!
Gosh I really have no hard and fast rule on it besides the visual look over and asking my kids. And everyone sweats in varying degrees. Ick.
It also depends on what kid and who's jeans.
I mean, my 11 year old daughter versus my 7 year old typical boy... well, they each have different degrees of dirtiness and stinky-ness etc. and activities.
Then, versus the Husband and his jeans.
Typically, 2-3 times. But again, I have no rule on it.
Also by now and with the ages of my kids, I will ask THEM and tell them, if they think or know their jeans/shorts are dirty, then PUT it in the laundry basket. But I tell them wear it more than once. Unless they were having a relationship with the dirt that day.
My son doesn't care if something is dirty or not...so with him, I will show him "look, this is dirty. See...." so that he can, learn to gauge it too. Don't want him getting married and still not able to do it. LOL
My Husband, can literally keep wearing a pair of his favorite jeans until eternity. Ugh. And I tell him he needs to put it in the laundry basket or it doesn't get washed.
If my daughter feels her jeans needs to be washed after 1 wearing, fine. It gets washed, she puts it in the basket. I trust her judgment. She knows.
Same for me and my jeans.
If I went horseback riding with a pair of jeans, versus wearing it just to go to the mall, well, I wash it accordingly as need be.
So anyway, I have no hard and fast rule about it.
I'm not a jeans police. Hopefully all family members can discern jeans dirtiness too. Not only Mommy! LOL
A lot for me in winter.
The kids? A few days.
a few days for me and a few days for my daughter. unless i see them dirty before that.
Just really depends. But usually at least two times if not three. Unless I put them in the dirty cloths and my son get's them and washes them. Which I don't argue. But the boys I don't like them wearing them more than once. But there have been ocassions that we forgot to wash their jeans and they had to wear them a second time but that's few and far between.
I will only twice because I work at a preschool and I own a photography business so I'm either getting sneezed on or just toddler germs all over me or I'm out on a session getting mud and dirt on me in the grass lol. My kids only once because they get pretty dirty just playing and going to school
Usually twice, unless the hem is dragging, then once. We have a lot of pollen on the ground right now. They also lose their 'shape' after a day or so.
For Kiddo, definitely one day.
my sons jeans are dirty every day.. he wears them one time only. my daughter often comes home from school clean so she can often wear her jeans twice.
I usually wear mine about 3 times. if I stay pretty clean might be 4 times.. if I get dirty.. might only be 2 times.
I thinik my husband wears his for a week.. but .. he puts them on after work so he wears them from 4pm till bedtime.. and he mostly sits in his lazyboy chair relaxing.. so he does not get dirty..
i'm the same as you.
and I remember questioning washing the kids so much because I felt it contributed to the knees giving out, but I just couldn't get past the fact that there is so much goo that kids can get on themselves seen and unseen goo. so one wash for them.
I'm with Katrina and Mary, once. I like them to fit me, right. As for when I raised my son, he'd wear them about twice.
Now, when is dry clean them and get heavy starch. I will wear them about 5 times! I paid and I want my money's worth!
DD? Once. Me? Twice. There was that trip through Europe where SS thought he could pack 2 pair of jeans for 3 weeks and I just said I was glad not to be traveling with him!
