re-wearing pants

peterchi · #1 02-21-2006, 12:29 PM

When I was a student, I would wear pants several times before washing them. I never had a problem with them smelling (unless I had gone way too long with them).

But now that I am working full-time, I've noticed that they pick up a smell after wearing them just once. It's not horrid, just a faint smell of griminess. But it's there, and it's slightly bothersome... so now I am reluctant to wear a pair of pants more than once before washing them again, but this means I have to do laundry way more often than before which is kind of a pain, especially since I don't have a laundry machine in my apartment. And I thought it was odd, because all I do for my job is sit at a desk all day.

Is it completely weird that this started happening when I started working full-time, or has anyone else experienced this?

I'd recommend you buy more pants and wash them after one wear.

Or add underwear if you currently go commando.

Or shower more frequently if you are slacking off on that.

Or all of the above.

It would if I didn't have to take it 8 blocks away. Or if I owned this place:

I stopped going commando a long time ago.

And I typically shower twice a day.

yeah maybe I just need more pants.

I used to wear pants 2 times before washing all the time. Since I started a desk job though, I noticed my ass becomes particularly swampy. It's pretty standard I think.

i usually wear jeans 3 or 4 times b4 washing, sweatpants 2 or 3 times, pants I wear to bed (old sweatpants) 20+ times.

You shower 2x a day? That's actually bad for the skin and hair.

A guy I worked with always used to complain about him being a major ass sweater. Then he bought a chair thingy, one with the beads. He claimed problem solved. The chair thingy put air between a large portion of his ass and his chair seat. It did the same for his back so that was a plus he said.

Yeah, I've been kind of afraid that it was. But I shower in the morning to wake up, and I shower after working out in the evening. I won't be functional if I omit either shower.

I don't shampoo each time, but yes I am worried about my skin. I use moisturizing bath wash so I'm hoping that helps a little though.
