I just turn my under pants inside out so they last two days, don't own any pyjamas as I have slept naked for the last 30 years and only cahnge the the linen when the GF stays so she thinks I am domesticated........0

I wear things a couple of times - On my half days - I save the tops for the next half day - I.e - Wear a top one Monday and save until the next Monday - I'm not washing it after 4 hours wear!!!
I have 2 pairs of work trousers and emergency leggings(in case of spills) and I rotate 5 tops for 4 days work.
Undies are changed daily and PJ's weekly - I only get into them after my bath so I'm clean into them.
Kids like to hang on to theirs as long as possible:rotfl: I usually grab it off the floor when I do the wash on Friday night - 1 coloured and 1 whites.
Can't see the problem with multi wearing as long as you bathe and wash regularly - when I was a kid I only had a couple of uniforms for school so we had to!
I just put them back on the hanger and pop on wardrobe door so I can see what I've gotNoli nothis permittere te terere

Underwear and tshirts hit the washing basket (or my bedroom floor) after one wear. Jeans I try and wear to 2 - 3 days before washing, unless they're dirty, or it's the time of the month or if it's been raining, because the jeans soak up the rain. Hoodies I try to wear twice but sometimes I just can't bring myself to do it!0

Underwear changed daily,
Cardigans jumpers as needed,
pjs changed daily,
bras one to two days at most,
socks daily,
kids uniform every two days unless dirty,
trousers every two to three days again depends if they are dirty and need washing sooner,
towles after one use. Just think of all the skin that rubs off when you dry, ugh!,
Bedding on childrens once a week unless they get dirty in the meantime. Our bedding every other day as we have cats who love sleeping on the bed and in it if they can.
Coats at least every six weeks . Childrens more often as they drag them on the playground.0 -

So it's something you've discussed with your friends then? :eek:
"Hey, Mary, what do *you* do to keep your gusset dry?" :rotfl:
Not exactly, but I know - just like I know who's got haemorrhoids and painful periods, and who has "never been the same" since the birth of their youngest. :eek:
I work with women, I'm friends with women, I'm related to women, I've lived with women, gone supermarket shopping with women, nipped into Boots with women, and for women, used other women's bathrooms, and I have been on holiday with women - and yes we do talk. About everything.:eek:
I have one friend who doesn't use pantyliners who likes to joke that it's because she doesn't lead such an exciting life as us other girls, implying that we must be in a state of semi arousal at all times. :eek::o :rotfl:
But she keeps clean knickers in the zip pocket of her handbag just in case.Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted. Einstein0 -

No, Silly.Just everyone does things differently, that's all.
I change my bottom sheet a lot because I really like lying on a crisp clean sheet. My hubby likes them better when they are worn in and would happily fester in one for a month which makes me go like this: :eek: He's not a minger and I'm not an OCD sufferer - we just like what we like.
If my cat has spent time on my bed I'll change it too. My daughter doesn't mind so much, she just changes her pillowcase inbetween regular changes if he's stayed overnight with her.Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted. Einstein0 -
I was after one wear, bedding once a week0
