Do you wear workout clothes more than 1x before washing??

[runaways]

Only if I'm really desperate. I'm soaked through after a run in the heat here.

[katandkevin]

Nope. I am a sweaty beast. I am generally drenched when I get home from working out. Even if I could wear things twice, I wouldn't want to.

[trigal]

I wash after every wear.

[joenali]

I'm just disgusting!!!!

[taratru]

The only thing I don't wash is my sports bras. NO WAY am I doing laundry more than once a week, so they get reworn. Sometimes I rinse them, but not always. Shirts, I have enough of to not rewear and bottoms get too stinky. TMI, whatevs.

And I love the "go to the outlet and buy more clothes!" shit...like that's all I have to spend my $ on. LOLZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

Right??? I can't tell you how much I have spent getting to this race! The fees, the bike maintenance, the nutrition stuff, the classes, OMG I can't buy anymore things! Who's cares if I stink, I'm not stopping to have a conversation with you, so it doesn't matter!!

[martini]

I workout at lunch and will usually wear my shorts twice unless I get really disgustingly sweaty. Most of the time it's fine though.

[foundmylazybum]

I  don't think anyone is saying go out and by new running clothes every weekend...but please, every time we have "LLL on sale now!" people freaking rush into the post, then run to the store and get some swag.

I buy running clothes 1-2x a year AT MOST and have enough running clothes and workout clothes to totally make it without doubling up on the nasty.

Let's not pretend we aren't buying workout clothes here. C'mon....some of these things people are saying is just flat ridiculous.

If you like wearing your yucky clothes over and over again--go at it, but don't make some excuse like "OMG THE EARTH!" or "OMG I"M SAVING MONEY."

Please. You enjoy the yuckiness of it. Just say it. Lol.

[joenali]

I do laundry once a week. That is all I'm doing. I'm yucky and I like it!!!

[libbygrl109]

Definitely not. I sweat like a pig, even in the dead of winter.

[Wines Not Whines]

I only do laundry once a week and I don't rewear clothes, at least in the warmer months. But I have no problem sticking to the C9 bras from Target that cost $13 on sale. I have 5 of them. If I needed more, I would get them. I realize this may not be so easy if you need to wear $50 bras.

[taratru]

Meh...whateverhernameis rolled in with her "ew, you guys are so gross and ew, you need to buy moar stuuuuuuf", so yeah, I'm annoyed by that. I'm a) too fucking broke to spend money on shit I just sweat in and b) too fucking lazy to do laundry more than once a week.  I already buy all my stuff on clearance or at outlets or *gasp* used (with the exception of my Oiselle shorts), so my shit ain't gettin' any cheaper. 

If that makes me a funk lover, so be it. I shall embrace the funk. It'll keep all the people who are squicked out by reworn clothes away from me.

 Go to an outlet store and get more so you can only do wash as often as you want.

ahem.

Yeah, but no. As it is, I'm bleeding money just getting basic gear.

[Deleted]

In the winter, yes. In the summer, no.

The "you people" turns my bitch switch on.

[spunkypenguin]

If something is not too sweaty, I will let it air dry and wear it again.  Some mornings I shower/change at the gym, so my stuff has to sit in my bag in the car all day - it can't be reworn.  I have managed to accumulate enough stuff to do laundry about once a week.  Sometimes I have to do it twice per week if I'm doing two-a-days like I was during peak half training.

And this is why we are friends.

[gumi]

In the winter, yes, because I do not sweat.
In the summer, no, because I sweat a ton.

I have twins. I do a lot of laundry. One more load is no big deal to me, especially since its not like I have to fold a sports bra or running shorts.

If it's over 70-degrees, I do not run in a shirt (just sports bra). Perhaps this helps the laundry situation. It definitely is good for the budget!

[sadlebred]

I'm in the ewwww...no, gross camp. Then again, I have a closet (and 2 drawers) dedicated to cycling and workout wear.

Cycling shorts are breeding grounds for bacteria. Wash those suckers after EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU WEAR THEM!

I kinda hate you right now, what with your twins and your super flat tight stomach.  I don't even like to pull my shirt up to wipe my face off while running, because, yeah....no one wants to see that.  

[erin2903]

Yeah there is just no way. I am soaked by the time I'm done.

Amen! I have no tact, so judge away.

I'm actually more ashamed to admit that I typically DON'T sweat very much, even when I'm getting in a pretty decent workout.

[kate1482]

Workout clothes get washed after every wear. (Although I totally wear jeans & bras 3-4 times before washing so I guess I'm gross!)

[pinkplasticdoll]

I wear sports bras 2 sometimes 3 times, it depends on what I am doing and how much i sweat. I am gross,lazy and only have a few bras that fit me right now and dont have the money to buy more. meh. it wont kill me.

I honestly rarely buy work out clothes. I've gotten a lot of free stuff over the years from being a college athlete and races. I've never bought a single item from LLL and most of my friends don't either lol.

I'm not making excuses but 1) I don't have time to hand wash more than once a week 2) Honestly don't have money to buy work out clothes on the regular 3) I try to live minimally anyway.

I don't think I'm yucky as I hang clothes to dry (if they need it) and they don't smell. This reminds me of the "do you shower or wash your hair everyday" polls we've had on MM and ML. Different strokes, for different folks and as long as someone doesn't smell, no need to call them disgusting or yucky. I think most of us are aware when we need to bathe or wash our clothes.

[Deleted]

add one to the sweaty beast column (so no, I don't rewear)

[Deleted]

I don't care how many times people wear workout clothes, but wanted to add that I have a shitton of summer workout clothes, mostly because most of my stuff comes from Kohls, Target and Walmart. I have more limited options for my cold weather gear because I do usually buy more expensive clothes for the cold.

[MrsManners]

During the dead of winter, if I do a lighter workout like bench day, I may wear the bra and top again. I don't wear underwear so I always wash the pants after one wear. During the spring/summer, there is no A/C at our box so I swear like a pig and never wear anything twice.

Yes, that one chick DID say "GO BUY MOAR" and yes, I think you are a judgmental ass.

Sorry if YOU stink. Or just absolutely MUST judge someone. Or have such an apparently low tolerance threshold.

WTF does the state of my gym bag have to do with you?! Why the bold, giant letters to get YOUR opinion across? I'm 100% positive if we pick through your life we'll find a bunch of stuff that just disgusts me..... but since it's not my life I don't give a flying fuck, and I'm pretty sure you should just chill and not be so deliberately rude.

And WTF is this about NOT saving money or the earth?! Do YOU know what my city charges for water? Do you seriously NOT know that most laundry detergents are not good for the earth and any energy saved is good and any water saved is good?! Sometimes it really really is about money/the earth/whatever, if you can't wrap your head around the fact that other people have different priorities than you..... ::sigh:: pitiful.

[IIOY]

I usually reuse my bra and shorts once before washing, simply because I don't do enough laundry to get them clean between every workout. I only own one pair of exercise shorts, and one exercise bra. I used to own more but I've whittled my workout gear down since I'm just a gym rat now and cheap as hell.

And yeah, I own my funk. LOL
