I wash mine every couple of days, it depends how often my daughter puts her mucky paws on me! Some of my jeans I try to wash as little as possible, due to the dye coming out of them, there is nothing worse than when they fade due to overwashing.

yes,i agree that jeans will be much looser if we wash it frequently. it's easily worn out in one year if overwashed,then i have to throw it away.while for me,one year is long enough. what about you?

wow~ you wash it quite often, It's a good habit, but despite the fading, I find the more you wash the jeans, the looser they will be, so I usually avoid washing them so frequently

It depends, for the jeans I only wear a couple of times, or those I really care for, I will probably not throw them away.

Well I would say about once a week for my jeans but then again it would depend on how often I'd worn the jeans or if I had been doing something messy in them like painting then I'd probably wash them sooner. Then again I am a bit of a teenage slob so it might be a while longer before I wash them!

I just shove them in the washing machine - hand washing is just too much effort!

oh,i can't afford a washing machine.i have to wash it by hand instead. but i don't wash them very clear with much effort,i just keep them in soap powder for 10 minutes first,then the next work is much easier and costs a little while.

For me, it will be once a week on cooler climates as I don't perspire much and will not easily soil them. During summer, it will be everyday and I have a few pairs within a week. This is also the most active times of the season so I tend to perspire more and clothing tend to get sweaty and dirty easily.

Weekly washing I supposed. I used to wear my denim twice, if I used it first for not so whole day or not too dirty, I wear it again. Then I have it washed if not by hands by washing machine. I have few pairs of it and I used it alternately, but I wore it usually on fridays and on sundays and holidays, when not at work.

What you dont wash your denims. What do you do when it gets dirty, throw it away. Your wasting money or your stupid not washing it.

I NEVER wash my jeans! i like the look and feel of dirty jeans. But I have several pairs of jeans, so i alternate which ones I wear, usually after about a week of wearing each pair. But none of them ever get washed.

I wash my jean once a week.I seldom have any occasion to go outside. In most of my spare time, I stay at home or in my office. I feel comfortable to wear jeans. So jeans are my favorite clothes.

I use my jeans twice and wash it after wards. i think it will fade easier if you wash it too often. i dont like though if it will be more than 3 days cause sometimes i feel the fabric is becomming too soft.

It depends on where I've worn them. I wash them more often when wearing them around at home, because then they tend to wind up with spills, dirty baby handprints, and everything else on them. However, if I just wore them to work or shopping or whatever, I'm not going to wash them all that often. Maybe once or twice a week.

I wear them for a day, wait for a load to accumuate and then wash them. I have a baby at home and I get dirty so they usually need it.

My sisters would say that I wash my jeans far too often. They usually tell me that they will not last me for very long if I continue to wash them so often. It is kind of hard for me to wear a jeans more than twice before I wash it.

Usually once every one month or two months, it's not good wash jeans frequently, make it fade and out of sharp. I wash it when it became so dirty that I can't bear it anymore...

I washed my jeans usually after three days that I wore them. But if its really stinky , I washed it immediately. I am busy at work and I usually take my clothes to laundrymat. If I feel that I can still wear my jeans , I'll wear it. To keep my jeans smelling fresh , after wearing them, I hang it in an open air rather than in a cabinet.

For me,I wash jeans once a week by myself.But my MOM is so hardworking that she wash jeans so frequently.She washes her jeans even just wear one day.So you can imagine that her jeans are always looser and fadded.

I don't wash them each time I wear them. I only wear a pair of jeans one time a week as I have several pairs so, I will wait until I have worn them about 3 times before I toss them in the laundry. They only get good and comfy and perfectly fitted to my body after around the 3rd time I wore them. Once I wash them, I hang them to dry because, with my height, I don't need any shrinkage. I can't afford for them to shrink as most jeans only just fit me in length. Even a millimeter shorter would be too short. If I dry them, then they would become too short and worthless and I would have to give them to Goodwill. And, since they do then to shrink a tiny bit, even just by washing them in cold water, I prefer to only wash them about every 3rd wear. Now, if I have been warm and sweaty that day, or I spilled something on them, than I will wash them no matter if it is the 1st time I wore them.

I wear mine a few times before washing. Since I only have a cuple pairs that fit right now, I wash them about once a week. I recently lost weight and when I was "growing" out of the bigger size but not quite into the smaller size, I would have to wash them after each wear to tighten them up a bit again...lol. Then when I was finally comfortably in the smaller size, I had to wear them once before they loosened up to fit perfect!

Jeans are like anything else ,they are worn close to the skin,so they easily pick up the odour given by the person wearing them.I reckon the only reason that there is a temptation to put off washing them is because they are hard to get dry!you can tumble dry them,but then they are a real pain to iron.If I have jeans on I will wear them a couple of times and then thats it they are off into the washing machine,hard to dry or not,im not going out smelly!!

I wash it when I think it looks anamorphic and dirty.Usually,when I wear it for 3 -4 times,I will wash it .Jeans are hard to wash and it's easy to fade.So,we shouldn't wash it very frequently,I think.

Well, my last pair of jeans was washed some 2 months ago. I do not wear jeans very often, so I do not care to wash them do regularly. I have a dress code for college and play sports. Playing Basketball in a pair of jeans is like running around with a straight-jacket on yourself. It's too uncomfortable. So I d not wear them very often. Even when I did, I would just let them be the way they were.. gave them a different look.. natural worn out jeans.. bourne
