How many wears to a wash?

Underwear, socks every day, shirts/blouses / t shirts/leggings, cotton summer 3/4 length type trousers also every day, jeans about 2 to 3 wears, bras weekly. Long type of cardigans - I just don't wash them EVER an over garment they don't get dirty, I don't have many but if I have paid a fair bit for them I don't want them losing their shape, if they do, I get rid of them.. Husband similar to me but he washes his jumpers, which MUST be dried flat

I wear my bra for a week. Change it on Sundays. Knicks and socks changed every day. Nightie once a week, on Mondays when I change the bed.

Shirts and cardis/jumpers three or four days. Have indoor trousers and outdoor trousers. Indoor ones, about four days. Outdoor ones - not sure really.

Knickers, socks, top, trousers, nightdress daily. Bra 2-3 days, cardigans and jumpers as and when necessary- I do not count.

My nightwear is washed in the shower most days - it's called a birthday suit . Knickers daily, socks, tops & bras every other,; jeans about 4/5 days.

I went to a ghastly boarding school where we had clean knickers and 'linings' (thinner pair of knickers), blouse,socks, vest, in fact very thing once a week if we were lucky.. Skirt and jumper lasted until half term - no wonder I am so clean now. We must all have honked. I used to wash my socks and knickers at night in secret and hope they would dry by the morning....sheets lasted 2 weeks. And we only had one bath a week - no showers in the place
Sorry to diverge !

Pants and socks daily. Often get dressed in a rush in the morning and put on yesterday's discarded garments. Have felt yesterday"s pants sliding out of the leg of my trousers on more than one occasion, fortunately before I've left the house.

T-shirts once, jumpers, cardigans, dresses and skirts 3 times, unless of course something gets spilt on them.

downtoearth you put me (and I suspect others) to shame! One the face of it, laundry wise.

Knickers, tights, socks, daily. Bras weekly. Jeans up to a week. Other trousers and dresses 2 days. Skirts sometimes more. - Basically anything next to the skin, i.e. t-shirts, blouses, daily. Jumpers and cardigans 2/.3 days - some, including fleeces longer.
Find /I need to 'stea'l husband's clothes for the wash - he wears a uniform so shirts, vests, pants, socks daily, but with casual clothes he NEVER puts them to the wash - I have to make the judgements! He seems to be surgically attached to ine particular fleece and pair of jeans - stained and holey - he says they are 'comfortable'!!!!!! I have to nag him when we go out to look presentable. He has lovely clothes sitting in the wardrobe!

marmight sounds the same as my boarding school..though I thought we were alloed two linings a week. Our weekend Mufti clothes were dreadful by half term!!

Going back to the 40's when I was a child, wash and bath day was once a week, sure clothes were worn until they were grubby. I'm sure BO was the norm and nobody noticed.
Washing clothes was a major job for mum, no hot water on tap, either the kitchen stove had to be lit to heat a tank of water or it was boiled up, so it wasn't the daily job it is now.

I was talking about that to a friend and she was tel ling me that they had a bath in the kitchen, under a counter top. Her Mum used to boil water in the top loader washer and then decant it to the bath.

I change my underwear daily - I'm not sure I could wear the same knickers two days running. Having said that, I change my PJs only once a week (that has me no end!) I only wear socks when I wear outdoor shoes so they could last all week if I don't go out much or one day if I'm out all day. Top layer gets changed as and when though I wear 'scruffs' in the house which might get changed more often due to spillages!!

Shirts, jumpers and bras I do after two wears. Obviously knickers daily. Jeans I wash after about three wears: I tend to wear panty pads (TMI!) to avoid any risk of smelly crotch. Skirts I sometimes hang back in the wardrobe after two days wear depending on how easy they are to wash and their colour. If I have had any spills or notice any stains then I wash them straight away. My nightclothes I tend to just shove into the machine every time I have a load so that is usually every three to four days. Think I probably wash more often than I need to but I hate the thought of being a smelly old lady!

Kitty, interesting, if people don't wear socks, how often do they wash their shoes ?

Whilst out with DW, we saw a friend walking her dog, I commented "we could do with a dog, we would have to get more exercise then", DW - "I don't need a smelly old dog -- I've got you" -- charming.

I'm glad I'm not the only messy eater/cook. Soup is a minefield, and anything containing tomatoes, such as pasta sauce. When cooking, it's also the kitchen floor that gets it! I change my socks daily - I have a huge selection in my sock drawer. I really need a few more bras to be able to change frequently, but twice a week is the norm. Knickers, it goes without saying, are changed daily.

Socks knickers leggings and thirsts get one wear. Jumpers 2-3. I'm afraid I'm very bad about washing jeans .???

I seem to do what most other people here do, which is very reassuring - I always felt I had a dirty secret. Jeans, which I only wear out and about and change for leggings as soon as I get home, last up to a week if I'm lucky but leggings get worn twice, max. Knickers every day, bras every couple of days, everything else as needed. It's not the washing that puts me off, it's the ironing! And winter knits I do try to avoid washing as much as poss as they can go out of shape.

I remember as a child, getting into trouble if i got my dress dirty. My mum didn't have a washing machine, so we were expected to stay as clean as possible. Now my granddaughter spills things on her clothes and we whip them off and put on a new outfit. How lucky she is, being allowed to get dirty. Like others, I change underwear daily, sweaters and trousers after about three days. Hubby used to be a clean shirt daily man, but since retirement he wears them for a few days. As he takes a shower every day, his shirts don't get smelly!

Knickers and socks changed daily, otherwise when needed. I have a bath every night.
Surprising how many women wear socks, not tights or stockings. Maybe it followed the wearing of trousers instead of skirts. I had a drawerful of woolly tights which I got rid of lately.

Old Goat, you have just given me the first laugh of the day. On a similar vein, I use panty liners and have occasionally lost one. The sheer panic when you think it might have been left behind on someone's sofa, or that you might have been walking around with it visibly stuck to your trouser leg is awful. The relief of discovering it dislodged but hidden is huge.

Underwear daily , jeans and trousers 3 days to a week, more frequently on hot days, tops over camisoles last a couple of days unless I spill something on the first wear. DH changes underwear and shirt every day but makes trousers and jumpers last 2-3 days unless DD brings the dog round. Working full time meant a clean top every day otherwise you could smell school. Mum used to make her undies last 2-3 days by using daily pads.

TMI?
Underwear daily, outer wear 2-3 days.
DH ditto, though has to be prised out of trousers for washing...
Was brought up in the tropics where one day's wear was often almost too long! So have got into the habit of washing very frequently. When DCs were home, they would have clean undies and uniform shirts everyday, uniform skirts/trousers twice a week.
nightwear - either b/day suit or PJs in winter; the latter twice a week.

Underwear daily of course, trousers after 2-3 wears, usually wear shirt/t-shirt under a cardy fleece so that's done after a single wear, and the cardy or fleece after a few wears. Hubster seems to wear things for longer (not underwear thankfully!) but his over-jumper and trousers can do him a week.
We don't bother with pj's usually but they are done after a single wearing if so.

I have a 9kg load washing machine which I thought I'd use twice a week when I got it, but I seems to have stuff every other day! Bed stuff and towels need done too of course.

I seem to be much like everyone else - jeans last a week. Underwear daily and socks. I wear a camisole vest in the winter so outer tops last 2 or 3 days depending on activity. OH has recent prostrate problems so anything below waist level has to be monitored (by me I might add) and put in the washing basket. Owing to the latter problem, I do seem to be doing an extra 2 or 3 coloured washes each week lately. I have no dryer - so when the weather forecast promises a dry day - on goes the machine and out on the line it all goes.
