The “no wash movement” is sweeping the countryside, as people are seeing no need to wash their clothes as often as they used to. Face it – if you’re not leaving the house on a daily basis, does it matter if you’re wearing the same shirt, shorts, socks more than one day in a row?
Web Watch has previously written about how often women wash their bras, but underpants are a different topic altogether. And while the contestants on the TV show SURVIVOR have figured out how to get a month’s worth of wear from their one pair of underwear, they’ve also complained about it being a bit unsanitary and perhaps a contributor to post-Survivor UTIs.
Denim is a different story — Levis even says that you don’t need to wash your jeans very often, as your pants will look/feel better over time if you don’t.
Still, saving money and saving time/effort by not washing clothes seems to be a thing. One person says they “don’t wash socks anymore”, and by having low standards, they’re able to wear the same underwear for more than a week at a time.
One person says she gets 20-30 wears out of her clothes before sending them to the wash.
So the question to our Web Watch readers is: what’s the longest you’ve gone without washing YOUR underpants? Are you a part of the “no wash” movement?
