Littlefingers In The Air Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I sweat so easily that I have to wash very often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitac Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I live in hot and humid Florida. My "micro-climate", to quote Wise Fool, achieves planetary-wide status frequently. Therefore, the jeans must be sterilized to avoid catastrophic repercussions. I don't know what the heck I just said. It's hot so I wash. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Targdust Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I don't believe this, unless I have abnormally bad odor or something. Mine get smelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1918me Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Not a year, but I rarely wash my jeans as it is. That's the whole point of wearing jeans in the first place, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kungtotte Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I can't make it that long without my jeans getting actually dirty, but I get lots of wears out of them before they need to be washed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillWork4NinjaPowers Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I steam my jeans and then put them in the freezer when the moisture from my steamer dries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tears of Lys Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Always go with your first instinct! Allow me to elucidate. The phenomenon, as you put it, usually happens while sitting down. Natural body heat is trapped between the ass crack and the seating surface, and sweating occurs. Because of the moist, humid micro-climate this causes, dampness along and inside of the anus can also accumulate (in much the same way that snow on mountains forms creeks, which eventually meet up with rivers and finally the ocean), permeating underwear and pants with an odor made from sweat combined with any condensed poo or fart particles (farticles, if you will). Well, thanks. I think. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solmyr Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 During summer I wash my jeans maybe once every week or two, depending on wear. Mind you, I am not talking about wearing one pair every day for two weeks, rather I have several pairs, so each gets worn perhaps 2-4 times before getting washed. During the other seasons that length is multiplied by 1.5-2. If the jeans get any stains on them or they feel or smell dirty, they get washed immediately. In my student years I have had pairs that weren't washed for months (again, each pair was worn perhaps 1/5 of the time) and as long as I wasn't digging ditches I didn't notice them being much dirtier than after 1-2 wears. Then again I lived in the Netherlands then, where all seasons are cool, so there isn't much sweating involved. Speaking of sweating, someone mentioned ass sweat upthread. That would be a problem if you wear slippers. I only wear boxers that cover the entire ass-sweatable area, so my jeans never get any of that ;).

Wise Fool Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I wear boxers too. Doesn't help. They are but thin barricades hastily erected to stall the ass-sweat zombie hordes for a few precious moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drawkcabi Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I never wear blue jeans so I can't contribute much to this thread except that now I can't get this song out of my head: Money talksBut it don't sing and danceAnd it don't walkAnd long as I can have youHere with me, I'd much rather beForever in blue jeans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkhangel Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Yeah, no. That's just gross. I'll wear my jeans twice, maybe three times max before I feel like they need a wash. Mind you, I'm one of those people who washes most clothes after every wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brook Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 The thread put this in my head http://youtu.be/eYqKlwSyhPwI don't remember the last time I actually washed my jeans, I've got about five pairs and I just rotate them until they start to smell.

Mind you, I'm one of those people who washes most clothes after every wear.Same here, I usually won't wear a shirt more than twice and jeans no more than 3 times, usually. I only wear black jeans though :p I can't imagine not washing something for a year if you wear it regularly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinDonner Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 The whole concept is bizarre; it's like they've heard that thing about how hair is self-cleaning and just extrapolated it to jeans. Do jeans secrete cleansing oils to wash and replenish themselves? Are the manufacturers actually androids who don't sweat and have accidentally blown their cover?

Muttering Bill Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Ass sweat, ball sweat, even forehead sweat that I'll wipe off on my thigh. Summer sucks. Always wash after a single wear. So I have to buy new jeans every couple of years. Oh well. I'd have thought clothing manufacturers would be happy about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywolf2375 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 depends on how hard I use them. If I am just wearing them to work once a week, then I might go 3-4 weeks but I'm still washing them with the random things that can happen to them - milk, two year old spilling things, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skythe1 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 This is weird for me because I'll wash every item of clothing except jeans (and jumpers) after every wear... Jeans I usually leave for a month or two before each wash unless they get dirty from a spill or something. I do remember buying a pair of jeans from Burton's (British clothes store) that said, and I quote 'Don't Wash Me' on the tag :ack: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
