how often do you guys wash your jeans? do you wash them after you wear them only once? twice?

i usually wash my jeans after i've worn them twice. but i hate washing them because then they shrink and get all tight.

I usually wash them after I wear them twice. They shrink depending on the material of the jeans. Don't buy ones that stretch. If you do have them, put them in the washer but not the dryer. Hang it on a clothesline or something and iron them afterwards. They shouldn't shrink that way.

usually 2 or three times. I like them after they get all tight...then they're not all saggy around the butt.

twice.

i turn them inside out when i wash them and with cold water. my jeans never shrink
o0olaalaa
i wash them twice
annalucky
I wash them after I wear them once..haha. My jeans don't shrink at all.

i can never tell if my clothes are shrinking or i'm growing.

i wash them when they're dirty.

which is usually a couple of weeks or so.

i mean, they're jeans. if you're just going around school, they're not getting dirty.
mipadi
I usually wear mine for two weeks. I do laundry every two weeks. It works out well because I have two decent pairs of jeans, so I wear one for two weeks, then wash them and wear the other one.

^x2 I agree. I don't wash my jeans NEARLY as much as you guys do. I think it's unnecessary. Excessive washing only breaks clothes down faster.

I mean, it's not like my ass is sweating the whole time through math, or that I'm rolling around in the mud and grass.
mipadi
Exactly. Jeans are so multifunctional. I even sleep in my jeans.
sadolakced acid
i wear jeans to formal functions.

i love how it pisses people off.

but hey, i do bother to put on a collared shirt.

I would wash my jeans every single time they were dirty, but now I wash them every 2-3 times. Unless they're these certain jeans that get really loose to where I'm like swimming in them.
Retrogressive
I don't really wash my clothes... EVER.
drugmasterj
Usually wash them after wearing the jeans twice..

When washing them I usually flip my jeans inside out so the color doesn't fade much ... and then dry it half way so I can hang dry...
Aoiro
I just wear pants, take them off, and throw them in the hamper.
On the weekend, I clean it.
And that's it.
Rachel
Umm probably every 3 or so times. With some of my jeans, I can wear them twice and have to wash them to get the same fit.
lilliannnn
Until they get dirty _smile.gif

And I never put mine in the dryer unless their big. Just leave them out to dry.
fallen_angel1137
I wash my jeans about every 3 times if they aren't dirty before that. I don't really see the point in washing them if I just wore them to school and they aren't like dirty.
AngryBaby
just like mipadi and Justin, i wash mine when they actually get dirty.
if you just bought a pair of jeans, or just washed them and whore them to school and came back home. nothing is wrong with the jeans, (unless you totally stained them xD) no stains, no stank, no nothin' hehe.gif thats why i like jeans haha
me1issaaaa
Until they're dirty or loose. Then it's off to the washing machiiiiiiiiiiine.
KissMe2408
About after every 2-3 times. I mean it matters what i was doing, was i rolling around in the mud? dancing? just going to the mall?
sadolakced acid
the jeans i'm wearing have never been washed.

well, i got them three weeks ago.

i've worn them... errr... i dunno how much.

i probbaly won't wash them for another week or so.
jennyjenny
Usually once or twice. I just hate how the colors fade.

I have this one pair of jeans and it got all over my whites (I don't seperate) and yeah, it's all blue.
grrfield
every other week
not_your_average
Well, I usually wear jeans everyday, so I usually wash them every week. :/ I dunno, I don't really keep track of that stuff.
Rachel
Ohh, I also turn mine inside out. Helps keep the color from fading, and it's fun =]
xBaBiEGrLx
^^i do the same thing. biggrin.gif
i wear them once and then i wash them.
sadolakced acid
i dont' turn the inside out. because it's the outside that's the dirtiest, and people pay extra for faded jeans.

plus my laundry detergent doesnt' fade my jeans...
SandRAWRz
i wash them if i feel they are very dirty or i wore them to much
Libertie
I dunno.. I wash clothes every week or so or whenever I feel like it, so I wear jeans in sort of a cycle until I get around to washing them. I have about six pairs of jeans that I really like, and I don't keep track of how often I've worn them. :P
PurchasedRebellion
It depends. If I wear them and they don't get dirty, I won't wash them until I've worn them at least three times. And it doesn't help that I've got like a million pairs and wear only like, a select two or three.

And besides, I don't like to wash them a lot because I don't want the color to fade. (Which is why you wash it inside out, it does help.)

But I do like that they shrink! Like my Sevens and Hollister jeans were uber, ridonkulously long and I washed them and they shrunk a good amount so they fit fine now. :) It does suck to be under five feet. >.<
JustAnotherTeenageLoser
We do laundry every week, so If they've been worn I throw 'em in. I usually wear them 2-3 times before this happens.
Just_Dream
I wash them once a week. It depends, because I only wear jeans 1-2 times that week. I have the urge to wash my jeans because after wearing them twice it's like.. I gotta wash them haha. :P

yeah same here
ImThatKiddo
i wash my jeans right after i wear them and thats because i want them to shrink but sometimes thats not such a good idea because it will appear old or worn out
emazing
Yah, I wash my jeans after I've been through them two times.
laugh.gif I'm not really a neatfreak when it comes to clothes, well. Not really.
lolita kitty
wash after every wear.
you know how your jeans are semi-tight when you first put them on in the morning, and by the afternoon they are almost sagging?
well, im skinny, and that happens to me alot. i;ve tried to wear jeans two or three times before, but the over-use makes them really big, so i kind of have to wash (and dry) them.
mzbbc
after i've worn them two or three times. i love them just after i've washed them, when they're all tight... i HATE stretched out clothes. stubborn.gif

me too 2 or 3 times, unless i get a stain. yeah i also agree with the tightness.. ahah saggy, :]
sadolakced acid
i like my jeans saggyish. yet not billowy. which is a remarkable feat accomplished by first drying it 20 minutes, then air drying it, then in the dryer for 5 more minutes.

Yeah same...I wash them when they smell...
so like two weeks?
lilnatcat
I wash them after I've worn them 2 or 3 times.

Ok, I'll take that in mind about washing stretch jeans! I recently bought a pair....... so just chuck them in the washing machine and hanging it to dry it alright? Like it won't shrink?

I HATE jeans that are so tight that I feel like sumbody's grabbing my butt!!!
aznxdreamer
i wash my jeans like..once a week. back when i had only three pairs of jeans. but it works well. personally, i dont think jeans need to washed that often.
sense.n.style
usually 2... n i like it wen it shrinks cuz i lost pounds n now they r sorta baggy (as in girl version baggy, not guys) n i havent gone shopping in a LONG time... besides that, i feel skinnier happy.gif

...except it starts to rip mellow.gif
xTINAA

Mr. Slowjamz
