How many times do you wear your jeans before you throw them in the laundry?

[Karenca]

Thanks.
I really, really, really need to know this.

[seemunkee]

1. 2-4

Depends, If I just wear them to work, after work or if its over the weekend.

[133724]

63. weeks or months???? n/t

[KG]

2. when i step out of them and it stands up by itself

:hi:

[LostinVA]

3. An embarassingly long period of time

[WindRavenX]

5. (same here)

:hide:

[bicentennial_baby]

8. yep

[Karenca]

11. I was washing them after every 2 wearings.

I was thinking I should go 3 times, as I feel like I spend half my life in the laundry room.

These guys in my apartment (5 MEN - uckkk) are having their jeans sent out EVERY SINGLE TIME they wear them.

I am being looked on as "ummmm, you look alot cleaner than you actually are".

I'm about to have a nervous breakdown. Make them go. :scared:

[LostinVA]

14. WTF??????????? No one does that

Even Miss Manners (if she wore jeans) wouldn't.

[Karenca]

18. L, they're driving me crazy.

I was able to get them to go out tonight without me. I said I have a migraine.
The doorman keeps buzzing me (Delivery!) , because their jeans and other things seem to be getting delivered at 30 minute increments. There are too many people in my house. If you hear about a mass murder tomorrow in NYC, please remember me fondly.

[LostinVA]

24. You can't kill them before I get a wedding present

I'm sorry -- Haruka made me say that. She's a bridezilla!!!

:cry:

[Karenca]

26. well, tell Bridezilla.

at least she made laugh. :spank:

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

33. If some terrible accident should happen to befall them,

Can I get one or two pair of their jeans? Mine are dirty.

Thanks.

:rofl:

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

30. Jeans sent out?

No, Karenca, this does not sound right. Wear them once? Send them out? Are they pressed too? These guys do not "get" the concept of "jeans".

Next you're going to tell us that their jeans actually fit!

(mine are baggy, a little "seasoned", probably need to go in the wash)
:rofl:

[Little Wing]

55. One wash per wear is a ludicrous amount of times, unless your an outdoor day-laborer

filling up potholes

[lildreamer316]

60. This is me also.

Sorry, I'm a tad anal about it.

[mentalsolstice]

46. I'm with you!

If after a couple of weeks I notice I'm serving a couple of extra plates at dinner, and they're saying "thank you, ma'am"...or I'm actually buying them presents at Christmas...then I know it's time to put them in for a 45 minute drowning.

Really, it depends on the time of year.

[mainegreen]

4. exactly twice.

first day to break it in.
second day for a comfy perfect fit.

but on the third day they are a bit too loose and a bit too dirty.

[bigwillq]

6. Many, many times

As long as they're not dirty...I normally through my jeans through the fluff cycle of the dryer so they can have that clean fresh scent.

But washing jeans makes them shrink so I try and hold off as long as possible.

[Joe Fields]

7. Two or three days. depends on how active I am.

[fizzgig]

9. usually three or four times

it just depends on what i've done while wearing them and what, if anything, i've spilled on them

[AlCzervik]

10. twice unless they've stretched out a lot.

[CatholicEdHead]

12. 5-7 times

[JVS]

49. do they get smelly?

[NMDemDist2]

13. depends on how many hours i wear them on any given occasion

if I only wear them a few hours I may go 2 or 3 days

if I wear em all day, they go into the wash UNLESS i know I'll only need em for a couple hours the next day.

so the average for me is 3 partial days

partial = 4-6 hours

[RetroLounge]

15. after a month or 2...

:9

RL

[Ilsa]

16. I stop wearing them when I have to chase them. nt

[LostinVA]

25. I have a special club to beat them senseless with

[hedgehog]

17. Depends

Some pairs stretch out after two wearings. If I'm doing something really messy, maybe one wearing. On the other hand, if I get muddy in the garden, I'm apt to grab the same pair for my next garden outing.

[liontamer]

19. depends

between 1 -5 depending on the jeans and what I was doing in them.

[leftofthedial]

20. I don't launder them

until they walk to the laundry under their own power

[Der Blaue Engel]

21. As many times as it takes for them to get something spilled on them

or to smell funky.

If they look and smell clean, they are clean.

I've never met a man who laundered his jeans after a single wearing. That is a very strange breed you have in your apartment.

:shrug:

[Karenca]

23. Yeah, I raised him myself.

They're all related. We are a strange bunch.

[Arkansas Granny]

22. Two to four times, depending on where I've worn them and what

I was doing. If I just wear them to work I can get 4 wearings out of them as a general rule if I change as soon as I get home and hang them up. I usually rotate 4-5 pairs of jeans/pants, so each pair has a few days between wearings.

[LynzM]

32. About the same here

Usually 2-4 times, depending on how active I was, for most pairs of my pants.

[Arkansas Granny]

34. My theory is that if they're not stretched out of shape, I can't see

dirt on them and they don't stink, I can wear them again.

[Midlodemocrat]

27. Usually once.

I'm pretty messy.

[qnr]

28. I just alternate the color of dirt I hang around n/t

[LeftyFingerPop]

29. What is this "laundry" you speak of? n/t

[Xipe Totec]

31. Depends on the season,

and how much exercises I've done.

If I detect a faint odor of horse sweat around me, it's time to go in the laundry pile....

[lost-in-nj]

35. Once

but I have so many pairs....
My D and S will wear them 2 Xs unless there is a spill...
:)


lost

[crim son]

36. Two times.

No more, no less.

[GalleryGod]

42. Exactly.

As for the posts above ????

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW:puke:

[Nicole]

37. Once n/t

[Scooter24]

38. Once...

Everything gets worn once then goes into the dirty laundry.

It just feels icky to wear it again.

[mike_c]

39. this is EXACTLY what the fifth amendment to the constitution is all about....

I take the fifth, dammit.

[LostinVA]

47. Damn! I should have answered that way

[Generic Brad]

40. Today - a few hours

I was waist deep in muddy lake water tonight helping a kid get his crappie lure out of a tree. Once water flooded my boots I knew I wasn't going to get any dryer so I just went for it.

[Wapsie B]

41. You wash them?

:shrug:

[salin]

62. nearly a day later

I responded (before reading the same thread) the same way. :hi:

[LostInAnomie]

43. I wear them, and wear them until they become tattered threads.

Just like underwear. :patriot:

[Redstone]

44. I don't own any blue jeans. Not one pair. Sorry I can't help you with this.

Redstone

[grace0418]

45. It depends. If I've worn them only to work and

I took a shower prior to putting them on, they can last 4 wearings. If I put them on without showering and ran errands or otherwise got sweaty, then only 2 times.

[MissMillie]

48. 2

two days... that's it

[JVS]

50. In Soviet DU land, jeans throw you in laundry!

[JackBeck]

51. I have way too many jeans.

Yet I wear the same pair every day. They get washed every Sunday.

[Zavulon]

52. Twice. (NT)

[LaraMN]

53. Until they become stretched or dirty.

Usually, they're somewhat saggy-looking within a day or so; one of the downfalls of stretch jeans.

[jmowreader]

54. I wait until they turn gray

Since I sell concrete, that's once.

[hyphenate]

56. Well....

since I'm not working all day and hang around home in my nightshirt, I only wear "going out" clothes for a couple of hours at a time. This means a "day" of wearing a pair of jeans is about 3 hours only, and since I'm careful not to get them dirty, I carefully fold them when I get home and they're ready for the next time I go out.

If I continue to be careful with them, I can get a good week out of them, and after that, it gets iffy.

Since I've been losing weight as well, I try to get to Savers about once a month to pick up new jeans that are smaller than the previous batch. My Savers has both new and "gently used" at prices in the $5-$8 range, and since I'm short as well, they're often already altered and they're wearable straight from the rack.

But wearing a pair of jeans only ONCE and having them cleaned? Sheesh!! Are they involved in mud wrestling or jello wrestling or something equally filthy? That's just plain inconceivable!

[tigereye]

57. 2 days max (not like when I was in college)

my kid - one day. His laundry is ongoing. The concept of using a napkin seems to be difficult for him. ;)

[latebloomer]

58. When they're sagging down under my plump belly

or when they have noticeable stains on them.

OTOH, my teenagers throw theirs in the laundry every single time they wear them. Also their bathrobes. Also their bath towels. And everything else they wear.

This weekend, I am GOING to show them how to work a washing machine! Then we'll see how often they throw stuff in the hamper.

[july302001]

59. once or twice

Once if I've worn them all day, especially in the summer.

Twice if I've just worn them a few hours or in the winter.

They get put out on the clothesline (all day), especially in nice sunny weather.

I want my jeans to feel crisp and smell fresh before I wear 'em.

[salin]

61. You mean people *wash* jeans?

;-)

[neweurope]

64. Too long...

Since I hardly leave the house anymore other than driving to our stable... I wash them when they look dirty or smell like horses.
My good jeans are worn seldom and don't get washed too often, either, since I air them in between.
