yes they last a week, i hate changing into new clothes - so uncomfortable

this is why i have my own washing basket as the TL will happily put on a fleece for ONE DAY and rather than hang it back up she and her recalcitrant daughter put in in the wash

I can accept wearing jeans or a jumper for up to 3 days if they're not actually dirty, but not putting on a fresh shirt / t-shirt every day? FILTH.

i wear Fife Country Falkland Checked Shirts made with 100% long fibre cotton, gives it a luxurious feel, plus warmth, comfort and long wear. Farmers wear them and they are good for a whole week in winter if you wash daily and wear good quality anti perspirant. Only the cuffs can get dirty if lifting a lot of boxes.

Yeah I don't get why people change their clothes every time they wear it for like a day

[Cherie]

I am trying to do better, and not wash things after one wear

I'd definitely wash t shirts sock and underwear but I wouldn't wash jeans or jumpers after one wear (unless they got dirty or something spilled on them)

Jumpers yes wear them twice or more but if you wear the same pants more than twice that's a bit weird, you shed skin and hair daily and you sweat, as does everyone. No offense but I bet you smell like when you first open a packet of smart price ham and it makes you gag

[Nicky91]

i change my clothes like twice a week for example


now we had extra washing something what we didn't want this week but first last night our dog peed on my mom's bed, and this morning she threw up on our sofa (which we got a cloth on so that was dirty too)

[smudgie]

Varies.
In general it’s towels and bedding every 7/10 days.
Underwear everyday, normally 2 or 3 dresses week, same with nighties.
Couple of cardies a week and then whatever hubby puts in the wash.

[Josy]

I do a washing or sometimes 2 every day

[Jigs]

I do my shower towel once a week
Fresh tea towel every 1-2 days
T-shirts after 2 wears
Jeans once a week
Underwear after every use ofc

I go every monday and help an elderly woman out, shes 96 and can still do a lot for herself but I help her with washings, hoovering etc

So every week in her washing basket is 7 days worth of underwear, socks/tights, clothes for each day, 2 towels per day and 3 housecoats/dressing gowns, and also her bedding cos I strip that for her every week.
