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

2 or 3 times usually. I work in a lab, so I only have a few pairs of "work jeans" (when I get acid on them, and wash them, they get holes and tears from the acid having eaten at it..) I dont wanna ruin all my jeans!!! And I dont have time / think about doing laundry every time I wear my jeans!

I really need to go out and buy some more. Kids in school used to make fun at me if I wore the same pair of pants like three days in a row. I don't see what the big deal is.
I know what you mean!!! Kids can be so awful

Maybe its because I'm a...
I wear mine for about 2 weeks between washes!! I don't spill food on them, or garden in them or anything. Plus jeans wear out if you wash them too much. By the sounds of it I should probably wash them more.

I never wear tops more than once before a wash though.

I wear my jeans for at least two days, depending if they get dirty or not
My favourite pair of jeans I wear for at least 3 days until they no longer feel snug....

Since I only wear my jeans on Saturday and Sunday to go shopping or for rehearsals, they will go at least 2 weeks before they're washed unless I spill something on them. So they get worn about 4-5 times.

Generally speaking, depending on the season and what I'm doing when wearing them, I wear the jeans at least twice before I wash them.

I hate dryer shrunk jeans!

I never wash them after one use unless they have visible dirt on them or something. I usually where them twice or three times.

My tops I will wash after one use though

Coming from a mom with 5 kids... I hardly ever wash my jeans after just one use.

I'm doing my part to conserve water/save the earth.

Yeah... that's it....

I wear my jeans twice before washing. I am in workout clothes so much that I only wear the jeans for half a day anyway.
When the weather turns hot (as it is doing now) I wear capris, shorts or knit dresses. Those get washed every day because I sweat when it is hot.

My jeans get so comfy after being worn a couple of times. They just slide right into place. When it is time for them to be washed, they basically have to walk downstairs and ask to be put into the washer.

Can't do that. I have to wash them after wearing them. No matter what I'm doing. I am a freak like that. Towels too. I am weird about germs so I can't use anything more then once before it gets put in the washer. My bed sheets get washed every other day. It's weird. I love my clean things. I hate the thought of getting out of the shower and putting on something that's already been worn.

I wear jeans every day for work, and I only have a few that I like to wear. They probably get washed after 3 times or so. I don't see the point in washing them after every wash. It costs me $1.25 to do laundry in the apartment, so I try to save money wherever I can.
