    I'm about four days max for shirts, probably about 2 weeks for pants. If I'm not really sweating and don't go out into the real world much, 4 days is normal. Me and my brother went camping in washington and we did'nt shower or change clothes for probably 2 and a half weeks. We went swimming though, so I don't know if that counts or not.

    I can wear shirts twice, if I am not gardening or at the time of the month where I having hot flashes. Jeans I can get 3-4 wears out of, as long as I don't work in the garden. Garden clothes have to be washed the day I wear them.

    My dh changes his clothes twice or three times a day and puts EVERYTHING into the hamper. THREE outfits a day at most! I just take the clean shit out of the hamper and put it back in the closet. hehehehehehehehehehe

    Fun question!


    hmmm lets see, well I only own 3 bras, and I only wash them once per week, sometimes two weeks, strangly enough they don't smell.

    Underwear, if I wear them, I change every day.

    Jeans, especially in winter, I can go at least 3 days without washing if they are regular, the stretchy kind only 2 days.

    Most of my work outfits (suits, dresses, etc) I only wash once every 2 or 3 weeks (meaning I get 2 wears out of them) because I don't sweat at work, sitting in a boring office all day chatting with you guys! That is unless I spill lunch on myself, which does happen now and again.

    Night clothes, I wear 3 or 4 days in a row. But in summer I don't wear any.

    You know what I find funny. Bath towels. I use the same towel for my body then one for my hair all week long. I mean you get a clean towel from closet, dry the clean water off of your clean body. How does the towel get dirty?

    All of my gym clothes get washed after I wear them because I do a hardcore workout and I don't perspire, I sweat like a hog! hehehe.

    because the dirt that you wash off your body gets into the water, i still only change towels once a month though

    I change my bath towels like every three baths or so. I'm the same way with the sheets on my bed, wash them about every two weeks. I'm glad to hear that alot of people are cool about not washing stuff. Alot of people around here really freak out about it, but most of my friends don't bother with it.

    I have kind of a system where I alternate clothes, sometimes wearing the same thing day after day if I feel like it and I don't wash my clothes until most of them are pretty dirty, whenever that may be. I don't have a lot. I hardly ever wash my skirts.

    who else uses the wear and air cycle?

    I get at least two wearings out of most unsweaty items.
    I wear, air overnight, replace inside out in drawer/hanger, then the smell test comes in.
    If clothes are worn in smoky bars, forget it , I wash those puppies FAST.
    i find this to be nondetrimental to my health, and rather kind to environmental health.

    I think the most consecutive days I've worn the same straight clothes is two (but, I've never really counted). I actually tihnk I could wear the same clothes for several straight days: I've stopped wearing underwear and if I'm not sweating too much, I don't feel dirty. But then again, the summer is brutally hot here, and I'm sweating most of the time.

    ill wear the same pants for like 2 weeks sometimes, same with my skirts, i hate wearing freshly washed pants cuz theyre so stiff and tight. After a couple days of wearing them they get so loose and comfy. I almost always wear the same things alternating throughout the week. I don't like most of my clothes so i always stick to the ones i like. I really think some people have only seen me in one outfit their entire lives.

    I think the longest I ever wore a shirt was for about a week but I once went 6 weeks with the same pair of shorts. Ususally I wash my pants about every 2 to 3 weeks, thats pretty bad since I work at a vet clinic and get all kinds of fur and dirt on them.

    pffftt, i do this all the time. i wear things for days on end, and if it didn't get dirty or anything, i just fold it back up and put it back in the drawer.
