I used to get so embarrassed as a kid when my mom would smell the butt of my pants to see if they needed to go in the wash, especially if anyone else was around, lol. But that's the test I use now! :o

*** JEAN WASHING TIP ***

Look for skid marks! If discovered, TICKETEE!

Especially if they look like someone spinned a wheel on a bicycle.

once a week, maybe

i am really anal retentive and phobic of body odor. i don't wear any article of clothing more than once between washings. seriously.

OK...anyone who wears jeans once and then washes them is obviously not in charge of the washing. lol

Wear 'em until you can't catch 'em. ;)

Wash black levis inside out, they will stay black longer.

Referring to your post, do you wear underwear?. There is a correlation.

Considering I rarely sweat I let them go until there is noticeable dirt, too much salsa, or I get concerned about germs for whatever reason.

I have quite a few pairs of jeans, so usually 2 or 3 days.
However, if I have to get blood or other DNA evidence out of them, they get burned in an industrial incinerator.

OK that's jeans done,what about socks do you change every day? every 2nd day?,or as someone I knew said about socks "throw them against the wall every morning,if they stick it's time for a clean pair"..... :D

Socks and underwear change daily. That's one of the secrets to extended jeans wearing.

glatt 02-11-2006 08:50 AM

socks, underwear and undershirts are the sacrificial lambs to keep the other clothes clean. They get washed daily. No exceptions.

Truckers have different rules regarding clothing.

I could tell you, but it would be too much trouble to track you all down and kill you.

My stepdaughter would try on several outfits before deciding what to wear, and having tried them on and rejected them, throw them in the laundry basket because they had touched her body. I had to go through her laundry basket with her each morning and make her put back anything I knew she hadn't worn in the last few days. After proving to her I was serious about not washing 5 outfits for every day... she decided the only solution was to stop trying everything on, and just lay them out and assess them visually instead. She's a little nutty about dirt and germs.
