Aside from your undergarmets, how many times do you wear your clothing before putting it in the wash? Are you a one time wear and wash, or can you get a few days out of your clothes first?

Depending on the season. In the summer I get so sweaty that every thing goes in the wash after first wear.

The three other seasons .. I wear jean or chinos 3 times (unless they get stain on them) but shirts only once, sweatshirts or sweaters until they get a stain.

I wear jeans, skirts, slacks...many times before I wash them. Everything else I wash after each wearing.

I wear Jeans , and Heavier Material Pants and Shorts- 2 or 3 Times.

Sweaters , Sweatshirts , 2 or 3 times
Shirts Usually Once.

Not Saying that these Are Set Rules on how Many times I Wear something.
I Kind of Take it as it Comes.
Stuff gets Germy Sweaty and Stained all the Time, and I Have Changed My Clothes 3 Times in one Day

I Almost always Do Wear jammies 3 nights in a Row.
That is Kind of a House Rule. Those go on late and Come off early , so Not too Many Stains or dirt there.

Pants - twice. Sometimes I stretch it to three days but I have to admit, they get a bit funky by then.

Shirts - once if I wore it all day long. I'll then put on that shirt the next morning before my shower and change later.

I'm so glad I'm not hte only one who does this!! My husband likes to change clothes at least 3 times a day. Even when he gets to wear jeans to work, he will still change when he gets home. My 5 year old loves to wear dresses, so on PE days, she wants to change right away. My new answer has become: "as long as you hang up the clothes you wore today". (Providing they are clean enough!) I usually have her wear everything but socks and underwear twice. I may consider bumping up to 3 times for the jeans!

**Now, is anyone else guilty of removing clothes from the hamper and hanging them right back up?? I've been known to do that w/ clothes that have only been worn one time!!
