How many days are you allowed to wear ?

[biggs682]

i got up this morning and put on a fred perry type of shirt for the 3rd day runinng , and she who must be obeyed said straight away i think its time you put on a clean shirt (the other one didnt smell) .

so my question is how long are other members allowed to wear there t shirts ?

In my locker at work, I have 5 shirts. I wear each once per week and take them all home once a month to wash.

That's 5 wears per shirt. I shower when I get into work, so the shirts go onto a clean body.

With regards to my non-works shirts, I don't know. Mrs MM goes into my wardrode and sniffs the shirts. If it has a whiff or if the collars look grubby, she washes. Personally, I always feel that I could get another 2 or 3 wears out of a shirt, but she feels they 'stink' after 1 or 2 wears.

She doesn't trust you, checking for perfume.

Depends what you wear the t shirt for, if it's a lounging sort of t shirt which doesn't really smell easily (i.e. not doing much movement) then a few days, but if it's a t shirt you wear for the whole day which will collect sweat etc. then a day, or two days is more than enough. I guess it all depends on how much you smell and how much you sweat, and how often you shower.

A woman's sense of smell is much more finely attuned.

I'd trust Moodywoman; your female colleagues may thank you

I change my clothes every day. If your clothes niff then you're the last to know about it.

Me too.. until I got some cycle-specific tops made from recycled coffee grounds. Cotton or linen shirts smell after less than an hour but I've worn a coffee shirt (Octane from Tenn Outdoors) for 5 rides in 7 days and, even then, I only washed it because I thought it was gross wearing a shirt that much, there was no smell at all

Two days, unless I'm dripping with sweat, in which case it gets hung up to air as soon as I get home and then chucked in the laundry basket.

I only wear anything one time but out here it's a little bit warm so very often it's two shirts and underwear each day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm really surprised by some people wearing shirts for more than one day, let alone even longer than that!

I'd agree with that

Oh...I see. That explains why I sit in the corner on my own in a vast office.

Apparently, I generate too much washing, so I'm obliged to wear certain shirts twice before putting them in the wash.

That's rare, though. I usually wash a shirt if I've worn it all day. My body loves to sweat.

One a day.

One a week?
