Do you wear your jeans more than once before you wash them?

Haha I only wash them whenever I do laundry which is once a week to once every 2 weeks unless they're visibly dirty or it smells. I'm not a very active person.

I do the laundry once a week, so in the winter when I almost live in my jeans, I'll wear them 3 or 4 times before I wash them (unless they get dirty).

I put my jeans on in the morning and wear them for the 7 minute drive to work. Then I change into scrubs, which I wear all day. Then I change back into my jeans when my workday is over, and wear them for the 7 minute drive back home. Then I change into my pj's or sweats. Yeah, I wear them all week and wash them on the weekend....they get worn for a grand total of 56 minutes...Maybe a little longer if I go somewhere on my day off.

When I was on my own in college, I only did laundry once a week (had to pay for it) so I had a few pairs of jeans and would make them last the week... living back at home it seems as though my mom is ALWAYS doing laundry haha, but I have no problem wearing a pair more than once between washings... I do like my jeans to be tight, and I do have a pair or 2 that are just downright annoying after one wear cuz the butt is all saggy then haha... I love when they're just out of the hot dryer

I've noticed other people saying their pants get too loose.
Maybe I don't pay enough attention, but mine don't seem to really change much.

Style, cut, and material type may be part of it. I have a few pairs of the 99% cotton 1% spandex ones that are slightly stretchy.

my 'gardening jeans' i wear only once. they're usually pretty dirty by the end of the day. my good jeans i wear more than once since i just wear them when we go out and mostly only in winter or when it's cold. at home inside i usually wear sweats or shorts and if it's warm when we go out a light 'summer dress' like the ones with a hawaiian pattern that you can go anywhere in

I wear my sweaters for 4-5 days as long as they don't get dirty. I have a shirt on underneath it so its not really getting stinky.

I wear my jeans a few times before washing. I only wear them if I am out somewhere though. I have my work pants and I have my pants I wear at home.

I wash mine everytime I wear them because once I wear them once, their falling off my hips, so I have to wash them and dry them in the dryer to shrink them back to the right size. Otherwise, I'd wear them again and again!

I have 2 prs of jeans I wear... Right now one is hanging in my closet and the other is draped over "Rudy" (An almost lifesize Build-A-Bear Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer I won in 2004) that stands at the foot of my bed. I usually wear them at least 3-4 times before I wash them since I only wear them out doing errands or to work on casual days. I have several blouses I wear more than once too. If it isn't dirty or stink, I wear it again. It costs me $2 dollars a load to wash and dry my clothes in the apartment's laundry room, so I make my clothes last between washings.

I wear them over and over again, but thats because i rarely wear them. I cant really wear them for work. And the only time i do wear them is just to parties!

Also the dark blue jeans, if you wash them too much they fade out! I hateeeee faded jeans, although im really into those gray jeans at the moment that dont suit me.

Depends on the situation. If I am just going shopping and only wearing them for a few hours, then yes. If I had them on all day and been out and about, then no!! DH refuses to wear a pair of jeans that he has only worn for a few hours. I don't get it. They are not really dirty!!

I mean, if I was just bumming around the house or running errands then I wear them again before washing. But if I was horse back riding or doing something that I was sweating or gross then I wash them after that one time wear.

I am with both of you! It depends on what I'm doing AND I like my jeans snug. Snug = less back pain for me. If I'm not doing anything dirty or sweaty, I'll wear them sometimes 2 days.

I don't own many clothes, so I wear my jeans several times before washing, if they look clean and smell clean, thats good enough for me. I have separate jeans which I wear around the horses and I keep them for that purpose so don't wash those everytime either (unless they stink of horse wee).

Also, I don't like to wash stuff too often because it wears the fabric much quicker. Wash them less to keep them newer in my humble opinion.

Depends on what I'm doing. I rarely wear jeans to start, so they usually will get wore a few times. If I'm wearing them while doing yard work, they do get put in the hamper and not re-worn till washed

They get worn more than I want to admit before they get a good washing, though of course, if they're dirty or sweaty, I'll wash them.
