For how many days will you wear the same jeans?

Yonks is a new word to me, but it sounds about right!

@TheHorse Great word, isn't it? Very descriptive. :)

@JudyEv It sort of explains itself. Context is a wonderful thing as well.

I kind of assumed as I was writing this post that guys would go longer than gals. But I'm not sure if I'm right.

@TheHorse I don't get dirt on my clothes if ever, lol. (Like dirt, mud, or wood)

@infatuatedbby Why not? I was going to ask you to help in the garden!

Yep! Supposedly you're not supposed too, lol. But I have to haha.

@DaddyEvil Did you read the article where Levi's CEO says not to wash your jeans? - You can spot clean your jeans lol. In my household we wash our jeans and air dry outside then in the dryer we use the air function so it isn't hot.

@TheHorse Okay, quit trying to hug everyone in the posh clubs... or where ever! @kamel622 @infatuatedbby Jeans are supposed to be washed as little as physically possible to preserve fit and color. Jeans manufacturers will tell you to turn your jeans inside out, put them into your washer in warm water on the gentle cycle and use a soap like Dr. Bronner's. It is a very mild soap that does not suds up suitable for Denim, your hair and your skin. Stop your washer one minute after the spin cycle has started. (This keeps the machine from stretching your jeans or knocking out the blue dye. It also can damage the cloth fibers if allowed to spin for the full cycle.) Do NOT put jeans into a dryer! The very best way to dry jeans is by hanging them over your shower rod and allow to dry about 90% of the way... Slip them on and let them finish drying while you are wearing them. They take on your personal shape and are more comfortable when you next wear them... I guess you are supposed to take them off when they are dry and hang them up? I have put my jeans on before they are quite dry before and they do fit better than when they went through the dryer...

@TheHorse I wear shorts any time I can get away with wearing them!

@TheHorse I cant wear those to work sadly

If it's hot, I'm in shorts.

Lol...guys...lol...

Agreed. But I sometimes wonder if I've habituated to aromas that others might notice.

If we are burning leaves or rubbish we'll wear the same clothes for several days till we finish burning then put them in the wash. The smoky smell gets into the fabric so rather than have several smelly pairs we keep the same ones till the job is finished.

My mood changes every day. But not my jeans.

@just4him It's funny how we can be traumatized (slightly) by early childhood events.

@TheHorse It stems back to when I was a kid. Mom made me wear the same dress to school two days in a row. I vowed I would never wear the same clothes two days in a row as soon as I had control over my wardrobe.

That's about my average as well. My nose lets me know when it's time.

I change my tighy whities most of the time. Unless I don't feel like it. Fortunately, my body smells only of ambrosia and nectar.

@TheHorse Those are vert giid snells for sure. I sweat in certtain areas, which I won't mention, so therefore, I have to take enough showers, but I don't always put on clean clothes. I don't have all that many, so I have to wear them for a week, and then change to something else. I only wash when I need clean clothes.

@TheHorse ..In India, where I stay, you'd need to change twice..lol

@EthanRye ..Hot and humid...this is supposed to be winter...but I have my fan running..lol Welcome to myLot. :)

I wonder how often I'd change my jeans if I lived in India. I shower every day, unless I'm in Montana.

@TheHorse I do from 3 to 4, it depends if I had guests during the week, more napkins and table cloths.

Once a week is my approximate laundry schedule as well. But I bet you do more loads than I do.

The humanity! You're killing laundry soap trees!

Yep, that's pretty much what I do. If they get up and walk away on their own, I catch them and throw them in the wash quickly.

My hiking shorts can go a LONG time without the luxury of a bath. That's what I'm wearing today.

Pee, poop, and baby puke would qualify as things that would make me wash my jeans. Well, not horse poop.

Your climate allows you all to do that...in India the stink will start within half a day! lol Especially if you like spicy food like me. lol. But many people here wear jeans without washing several times, after giving them a sun bath after every use.

@DaddyEvil ..I told you...you are an alien..

@vandana7 No, actually, vanny, my genetics allow me to wear clothes that long without them stinking... well, of ME, at least! LOL! Some people have a gene that means we don't produce the protein that is present in sweat that microbes eat which produce the sour odor(s) associated with sweat!

@TheHorse lol, are you referring to weeks, months, surely not years????

Three or four is about it for me too. But the unit of measure is different.

@akalinus Have you heard the horrible joke that ends, "Ma'am! Chickens?" I'll just say not decades.

You know, @MarshaMusselman , that the Urban Dictionary states that "yonks" means exactly 3 months and 13 days, right?

@DaddyEvil Seriously? Yonks it is then, give or take ninety-five days or so.

@DaddyEvil Good yonks knowledge! Did you peek? Or is this just something you knew?

How do you denine dirty? If I get food on mine, or bad-smelling bodily substances, I wash mine. A bit of horse poop or garden dirt doesn't bother me.

@TheHorse I define dirty as in food stains, or blood stains.

@Scindhia Was the mysterious odor blamed on beans in the dog's diet?

Was she allowed at family dinners?

@TheHorse It was her best kept secret. My mom did not even know and neither did I.
