Febreze SPORT - The Stink Patrol: How many times do you wear a sports bra or gym shirt before washing it?

How many times do you wear a sports bra or gym shirt before washing it?

 -Kevin

yeah - one use only. i sweat too much!

hahahaha alright i guess i'm the only gross one... i can't afford to wash clothes everytime so reuse for at least 2- 2 1/2 weeks, everything does get pretty rancid by the end but what are ya gonna do?

i have several pairs of everything so i only do washing once a week. maybe rinse out your clothes at least, if you don't wash them?

one time... I sweat too much and just rinsing won't do it.

My shorts stay fairly dry and don't get washed often, but everything else is too wet to consider wearing again without washing. They all get washed once a week; mostly in a separate load from anything else.

Gross!!! Everytime - period!

I wear once or twice depending on the intensity of the activity for that day. I mean if you have a good sports bra, it doesn't really smell after using it once. *shrugs*

Socks and undies only once then wash. Gotta take good care of the piggy toes and the boys!! Under Armour shirts generally dryout and get funky sfter three or 4 runs. Then to the wash. I've got enough laundry with two 7 & under boys clogging the laundry hamper!! 

I run naked so it's not an issue. Just kidding. I don't live in a nudist colony, but it is a thought. I wash after 2-3 times for wicking shirts, shorts, and tights. Socks are used once then washed, but I have used twice when out of decent clean pairs without holes.

i used to be able to wear sports bra twice but not anymore! now i have to wash wash! the only thing i skip on is sometimes i wear shorts twice.

So, the washing gets accounted for in the carbon footprint calcs on the website does it?!

Cotton / manmade underware once for sure - even if not riding!  But have a merino wool shirt worn next to skin can go for weeks without washing / smelling.  man made cycling shirts twice max ! Great for winter, but not so cool in summer!

It really depends on how much I sweat.  For most of my running and cycling clothes I have to wash it every time.  Yoga clothes usually last longer but I have had some VERY sweat inducing yoga classes that I must wash after one use.  I sweat a lot so anything that is right against my skin, sports bras and underwear must be washed every time.  Shorts and pants can usually go a few times without washing.   I have never really tried the just rinse in the shower technique.  I will have to try it and see if it works for me. 

nice know i'm not  the only one who reuses my workout clothes - i usually reuse two or three times before they hit clean water.

 

 I sweat too much, and my sports bra gets nasty.  So I will hand wash it in the bathroom sink with a little soap, rinse and hang it to dry. 

Unless you do not sweat....wash after every wear.  It's gross working out beside someone who has on stinky clothes!

Until my wife can't stand the smelly clothes hanging out on the hall way. LOL!!! For the most part, I soaked them over night and hang them dry and rotate other shorts/shirts as needed.

Okay, I think I win the Stinky Award. But, I will also say that it depends on the weather, and then length of activity. But, uh, yeah, I'm guilty of wearing running gear more than once, or twice, or, er, more than that, before washing. But by "gear", I mean, shorts, sports bra, and shirts ONLY. Sox get only one use before washing. I will admit tho, that sometimes I've worn things so many times that they get kinda ripe. Welp, guess nobody's gonna wanna be my training partner after THIS post. Oh, well....

That would be once.

I wear mine two or three times before I wash them, shirts too because I walk out side, and it's cold who's gonna know LOL it's all good, I love walking and I want to do more!!
oh and about two or three times for my walking pants/shorts too, after that I gotta wash em!!
Take Care
Happy New Year

EWWWWWWWWW!!!

Pants--like once a week, maybe more if they get wet(i run outside) Shirts--after i wear them maybe 3 or 4 times, depending if i sweat alot or not at all

I wear my shirt and shorts at most 3 times, it depends on how much im wearing it over a week. underwear is something you should only wear once in a day, unless you want an itchy crotch and to anoy your manhood. Leaving your sports clothing to air is always a must if your going to be wearing them the next day. If you've worn them for a day but they'v stayed relatively dry from sweat, then there ok to wear another day if aired, otherwise you should rins them if they got soaked.

Undies, Bras, and Socks only once. Shirts and Shorts I'll wear twice but I always throw them in the dryer with a dryer sheet before I wear them again lol.

I've found that after a few washes, the synthetic fabrics will start smelling even if I wash it after each outing.  Usually after 15 or so washes, the top will just smell all the time.  I've found that by soaking the top in a cup of white vinegar for a few hours before washing in the machine with normal clothes will 'reset' the fabric, and I can wash conventionally with other clothes for another 15 or so washes.  Be warned - for my gloves, it doesn't work so well, with a mix of synthetic and natural fabrics - it will make the suede lining of the pad of my gloves smell like old feet (along with my hands when I take the gloves off).
