Do you wear your clothes more than once before wash?

It's interesting to read what everyone else does, shows how different we all are.

For me I wash almost everything after one wear. I will sometimes wear jeans more than once (never more than twice) and I usually wear PJs twice before putting them in the wash but everything else is washed daily. It's not that anything gets particularly dirty but I like the feel and smell of clean clothes in the morning. Bedding once a week, unless I feel it needs doing sooner.

i wear things till they are dirty or smell same for kids
i often spill stuff down myself though cause i'm a messy monkey. little ones gets worn twice at most i would say cause he gets dirty easy.
my eldest doesn't even wear her clothes and they get washed again which drives me crazy but mind she has been good lately. she used to not put her clean clothes away then they would end up on floor after she climb into bed with them still on bed and then she would mix them with dirty washing she used to leave everywhere. but since we have decluttered her room its always tidy and no extra washing for me yay

underwear and socks (if I am forced to wear them because they are most depressing) are changed daily
vest top/t-shirt are changed daily.. sometimes I have worn up to 3 or 4 clean ones in a day... probably due to a perceived smell rather than a real one but I am not taking the chance.. best part is noone can tell because my tops are all pretty much the same!
Cardies/jumpers I can sometimes manage 2 days.. but I am dribbler and am usually covered in tea, gravy, juice, snot and a variety of other crusty things by the end of the day.. and it isn't always mine! I live with other dribblers!
trousers/jeans/leggings/skirts.. never more than 2 days.. but usually only 1 due to the short dribblers normally.
night attire, usually 2 nights but if I am too warm or have had leakage (breastfeeding) they go in the wash immediately.
The children have clean everything every day.. school uniform, pj's, undies, everything.. they are gross little things and spill lunch on school clothes, older ones just sweat, pj's have breakfast dribbles on and I do equate them with underwear as they are worn on the naked bottom.. night time is when thread worm come out to lay their eggs and children will scratch.. I don't think my children have worms.. but there is a small chance! Sometimes they will have a set of clothes on after school until bed time if for example they have church clubs or dance.. dance stuff would be worn once and washed, church club stuff is worn again as they do only wear it for a couple of hours.

To the people that wash there clothes after one days wear, do you find the clothes are not lasting as long, i say this as clothes i've had for a while go out of shape, and just look knackered if they've been washed and washed....

Not really, not if you're careful how you wash & iron them. But even if they did wear out quicker it wouldn't stop me from washing them after one wear. Honestly, I'd rather wear something that was clean and looked a bit knackered, than something that looked like new but wasn't clean.

I get that if people don't need to use panty liners they may not be able to understand why other people do have to, but some people sound quite cross about it. I don't understand that part.

I used to be a fairly ruthless washer (one of the few household tasks I love) until our front room was put out of action and we moved into the dining room. Suddenly I had no room to put the airers out and being Autumn I couldn't hang it outside- for now I have to cast a critical eye over school clothes, toddler clothes and employ the sniff- test for my own. (OH is treated to a clean shirt each day .) I can actually get 2 or 3 wears out of most bottoms, WEEKS for my jeans )and some of the children's tops too- school jumpers last well but get a clean polo shirt each day. DD is now trained to check whether her trousers will "do another day". Drying's not such a huge problem now when we have a lovely sunny breezy day like today but even so I'm still more wary of washing for the sake of it.

Oh, and sheets? We used to have a double bed, all sheets, duvet covers and pillowcases would fit into the machine at once and I used to change them every week. Now we have kingsize, plus a mattress protector on the expensive new mattress it takes two full loads to change it all- I'm much more likely to change the bottom sheet and pillowcases now and leave the duvet for next time :eek:

Oh, and the sanitary towels thing? :eek::eek::eek::eek: Horrible crinkly irritations.

I hope they're all washable cloth ones. :A
