I often use my bed clothes more than a couple of nights. I only wear it when I sleep so I don't think it really incurs that much dirt :P
I was just curious because I often see my friends throwing their night clothes into the laundry bag in the morning. You can't imagine how their laundry piles up by the end of the week.

I don't reuse my bed clothes, unless I am travelling. I have quite a lot of bed clothes, and I am not at all particular. Just a big T-shirt and shorts or pajamas. So, since I have a good supply, I don't reuse unless it's raining. When the season is cold, I reuse my pajamas because I am afraid they will run out. You are right about the pile of laundry though heheh!

I usually use my PJs for more that one night. I shower before going to bed anyway so I dont think its gets dirty sa much as my daytime clothes. Although when i travel or stay with certain colleagues or not-so-intimate friends for more than one night, I try to avoid repeating my clothes including my bed clothes.
BUt Im sure most people (if not everyone) repeat their bed clothes sometimes.
I agree that it's a waste of laundry time (and water and soap too!) Plus the more you wash the clothes, the more worn-out it gets.

I rarely re-use my bed clothes. I take bath every day morning and I use fresh set of clothes and the one I have used earlier will be washed every day and will be put to use next or subsequent days. Mostly washed at home by washing machine and will not be given to laundry.

I also reuse the bed clothes during the day so that
no less laundries to wash.It is not having dirt because
it is only used during sleep time. So I wear it in the day so that
it will be used carefully . Anyway as we go out we have to change
new clean clothes for that.

I do re-use my bed clothes as long as it does not smell awful yet, lol. Well i m not the one who wash our clothes and if i will do what your friend do i guess my mother will really yell at me every day, lol.
But i also know some people do that the only use their bed clothes once because they say that they are not used to re-using it.

Well, i do that... mainly because i take a bath before using my bed clothes... and i don't go out of the apartment when i am already wearing them... so they don't really get dirty... and i find used pajamas more comfortable to use rather than new ones...

I will re use them therefore I only sleep in them. Yes we would have piles of laundry pileing up. If I was going to be doing laundry that morning I would put them in the laundry.

To be honest with you then I do use my bed clothes for some two days because first of all I take a bath everyday at night before going to bed, I change my bedsheet every two days.Secondly I make sure that I don't have to pay for the laudry too much just because I do not trust my hygiene so much. I know I am clean enough and using my bed clothes for two days is okay with me because they were just met to wear them and sleep.

And I thought I was alone! LOL! My other siblings throw their clothes in the laundry even if they only wore it for a couple of hours ( while asleep!).. me on the other hand, I re-use it since I only wear them when I sleep.. It sure lessens my laundry. I guess the difference is, I wash my own clothes, that's why I am conscious on how many my laundry is.. my siblings on the other hand use laundry services.. so they don't really care how many are the clothes in there, cause they won't do the hard job! =)
