How long do you wear your socks before washing? I wash them every day after wearing - maybe because of the warm climate here and the feet perspire and they may stink. But that has become a habit- even when in Europe or elsewhere in cold climate I do the same though that may not be necesary.

Hi,there.I usually wash my socks everyday .Because I like to wear sneakers and I need walk to school everyday.I just feel my feet sweat a lot in summer,if I don't wash them constant ,it may become unhealthy and give out terrible smell.But in winter ,I may wash it every other day.I don't think wash socks is great fun.

This is a very super interesting discussion that I feel the need to be a part of, because I also want to know the answer. As for me, I change socks everyday. Same with my panties.

I generally change everyday, sometimes I wear 2 pair. The out side pair is changed everyday, and I change the inside pair every other day. This is only if I do not go outside. In that case I change them both everyday.

I change them every day. Its cleaner and safer that way. If you don't you could get Athlete's Feet. I get this occasionally because I work in a place where my feet get wet and stay that way for hours. Its awful and I hate it, so I dont do anything to make it get worse...wearing dirty socks is definitely a way to do that!

I change my socks every day. I do sports couple of times per week, so I just have to change socks that often. The dirty socks go usually to the laundry basket and they get washed in the end of the week.

I wouldnt dream of wearing socks more than one day, ewwww!! eventhough my feet dont smell, I never wear any clothes more than a day. I do lots of washing once a week and it lasts for 3 days. I need a maid bad!!

I think there's no any good time for changing our socks. When our socks can't be use any longer, that's mean we need to change it. But of course we need to always washing our socks after some period of usage time. I think washing our socks in every three days to one week of usage is still make sense. As long as we can still keep we use it in dry place. On a rainy day, perhaps we must changing our socks after we arrive at home. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

I put on clean socks every morning. I hate wearing dirty socks! I also won't put a sock back on my foot. Once I take it off.. too bad!

i only wear sock once and i guess thats what everybody do since its the most dirtiest things that we wear. i may not wash them immediately coz i wash all my laundry once a week and i have different kind of sock so i can wear the other pair. but if you wear the sock only during your self then i guess you can still wear them the next day since its not that dirty.
