It's not like I don't wear boxer briefs under my jeans and undershirts under my shirts. The undergarments are always washed after one use.

I just don't see the point in washing jeans every time after one use. There are exceptions though. If they get wet and muddy or if it's a real sweltering day. Besides that, jeans and most pants that aren't athletic kinda get washed after multiple uses. Under 7 usually.

I don't really keep track, I just look at them and if there's visible dirt/whatever on them I'll wash em.

I work in a bank so my work pants never really get sweaty, stinky or dirty. I try to get 4 or 5 days out of them if I can

Washing them after every use seems like a needless way to wear down your clothing. Not to mention the huge waste of water and electricity.

I wash my various pairs of work pants once every 5 uses or so.

I wash my pants as soon as they have any smell or visual sign of use. Usually that's once every 3-5 wears. Less often in the winter, more often in the summer.

This thread is further evidence that a large percentage of Era is walking around, unaware of how much they stink.
You have no idea what you are talking about. Why would anyones clothes stink? If they are taking proper care of their body with soap and water, you don't need to wash your clothes every time you wear them.

I wear my jeans for a week unless I spill something on them and switch to another pair when I do laundry.

It would be interesting if people said where they lived.

I am from a tropical country. So usually its a single use, 2 max for normal clothes.

Whenever it's a wash day I'll probably throw them in, because even if they're not too dirty you might as well. Around 10 days.

2 to 3 wears, I don't feel comfortable using clothes that I know I've worn too much. If they're of a very clear color, I might only wear them once because they get stained too easily

I reuse my pants a few times unless they accidentally wind up in the hamper first when I'm not paying attention. Same with pajamas.
