Do you ever wear your workout clothing more than 1x before washing? I know this is really gross, I tend to try to get 2 workouts out of bras, tops, and bottoms before tossing them in the laundry pile to be washed. I just don't have enough workout clothing to wash after every use. I'm really embarrassed posting this, I probably should just suck it up and deal with doing more laundry instead of wearing things twice.
I wear my spandex pants twice before washing for the reason you said: I workout 4x/week and I only have two pairs. Sports bras and tshirts get washed after one.

No I'm a sweaty and stinky pig. Btw hot yoga, Florida running and my own crazy sweating I can only wear things once. :-( I wish I could wear stuff longer. Sometimes in the cooler winter I can get two wears but most of the time nope. I own a crap ton of wo clothes bc of this.

I've been flamed for this before but no, not always. It really depends on the workout. If I'm running on the treadmill or outside in the summer, I have to after pretty much every use because I'm a sweaty mess.
On nicer days outside, I can get a few with more than one day for most things, especially if I try to hang it out rather than just letting it sit on the floor.
Typically, no. I sweat like a beast. As in, I could wring sweat out of every garment that I wore on my run this morning. I wash it after each use. I am like a laundry doing machine. Somehow we generate nearly a full load of laundry each day.
Sometimes. I hang mine up right away after running and check for stinkiness before putting them on again. I think of it as extending the life of my more expensive pieces.

Usually, no. I just sweat too much.
There are some special cases where I can like in the dead of winter and I barely break a sweat, I will save my running tights or my tops for another use. I wear undies under my tights though.
I make up for my water consumption by wearing other non-workout clothes a couple times before washing.
Yes. I know I'm gross, but "ain't nobody got time for that!" Kidding. But really, I guess I am just lazy. I usually won't wear shirts more than once b/c I have a bazillion but capris, etc, I do if I wore undies with them.

I am amazed at you people! If you get sweaty, you need to wash your clothes! Go to an outlet store and get more so you can only do wash as often as you want.

This is what I do. I will also sometimes rinse off sports bras and tanks in the shower and hang them on the towel bar to dry and wear again. Ain't no shame in this game.

It reallly isn't about the money- it's about the time all around for me. Or if I am traveling and need to fit everything in carryon, I'm no bringing 7 days worth of workout clothes. In the words of Tim Gunn, I "MAKE IT WORK"!

This is me. I don't do it as frequently now that I have a decent wardrobe of workout clothes but it does happen.

Right?! My time is precious, I do laundry max once a week, my stuff gets hung up to dry and if it doesn't stink I wear it again, hell yeah!
Also, my money is precious and I'll spend it on whateverthefuq I want, not extra workout clothes to make some judgmental ass happy... ::rolls eyes::
It depends on the workout but generally no. When I was doing PT after surgery, then yes because I wasn't a sweaty beast. Usually I am though, and I run commando, so I wash my clothes after each work out, unless I'm traveling.
Not pants - they smell so bad after one wearing. Tops I can - but have enough so that I don't need to, since I do laundry once a week. Bras, I can (and do) wear a few times before washing. Sometimes socks. Shrug.

I can't stand dirty running stuff. My socks feel crunchy after they get worn and then dry out again, and my tees and pants just stink. I had to do it once a couple of weeks ago and I felt like I could smell myself all the way through my run. Not pleasant.
Yep! Stinky McStinkerson! I don't have enough clothes for the amount of working out I am doing. I do make sure that if I am going to be with someone I wear clean clothes. You don't want to know what I do with deodorant.
