Minging is an term of endearment. JY is getting uppity because of his vested interest in cleaning products. You do know he's a shampoo model, don't you?

Head and Shoulders?
Jeans, I have several pairs that must be two to three years old, and have never been washed.
But they've only been worn once or twice. I've got a couple of pairs that get worn in the evenings to the pub, and they get washed maybe once a year, but again, that's a couple of times a week, mainly during the winter.
From April to October I'm wearing shorts, which get washed once a month, if they're my work ones, as I've got three pairs that get rotated, and a couple of other pairs I change into for evenings.
Tee's, a couple of days, then they go in the wash, unless i've got really hot then they go straight in the wash.
Socks, once a day, same as kecks.
Winter, I wear various army surplus combats for work, which get rotated and get washed when grubby.
They don't smell, but they get dusty, so just need freshening up.
Shirts, fleeces, etc, get washed when they get a bit whiffy, which isn't that often, 'cos they get worn only when it's cold, or if a bit cool in the evening I'll chuck on a flannel shirt over a tee, so wear time is measured in hours a year, rather than days.
I've got many, many tee's, and quite a lot of fleeces, so much rotation goes on.
It's nice to have lots of choice... 😀
If a suit looks shot after 6 months then yes it's about time I got rid and bought another one. They don't last long, they sure aren't made to last more than 1 years worth of daily use and anyway shiny elbows and rippled waistbands, folded collars and creases around your crotch are clearly not pleasant.
Pretty much everything you just listed is CAUSED by dry cleaning 😆
Wool isn't cotton, it doesn't need cleaned as regularly. Have a google or call any tailor.
A well made suit from high quality cloth will last years and years and years if looked after properly (i.e. not dry cleaned often).

Ok minging is contructive feedback
here have some yourself
* off you * Calm down there boy.
Washing is a ploy by the marketing men to make us consume more~ water shortages, animal testing and self loathing due to body image would all be eradicated if we got wise to em and let the funk take over.

It ain't the washing/dry cleaning that kills a suit, it's the friction and wear and tear that kills it.
I shudder to think a suit would last more than 1 year.
More than happy to buy a couple each year,more than happy.
I'm about to ride around town, it looks like drizzle... 😆

Friction? Try rubbing folk up less often, or learn to sit still.
says you 😉

Honestly, decent cloth is exceptionally hard wearing, cheap cloth is not. Dry cleaning is harsh on suits.
Cheap suits which are dry cleaned often won't last long at all. It's a false economy.
Buy a decent suit, dry clean it less and it will last you longer.
Again, ask any tailor how long a suit should last.
Erm.. You mean you only dry clean suits say twice a year??? Ewe.
You work in IT and I claim my £5

You deffo work in IT and you can keep that £5 and go get your trews dry cleaned.

He he.
I love it when someone tries to sound all superior and knowledgeable and then talks total rot 😀
Speak to a Tailor about how to look after your suits properly.
You currently don't know how to.
Fresh underwear and socks every day. T shirts usually 2-3 days depending on smell. Jeans 3-5 days depending on smell. If I wore fresh stuff every day I'd spend all my free time washing and ironing. And quite frankly, I cant be arsed with that.
I shower most evenings too as I normally go for a late night run with the dog.
'Late night run with the dog' - I think we all know what that means. No wonder you shower and change your clothes so often. Filthy.
What is this "ironing" business? Next you're going to tell me you don't dry your clothes on a bike like a normal person should?!
Well, I think the cleaner of us are now seeing why there are so many smelly people in the world....
Had these jeans on for 3 months now without a wash, got at least another 3 in them. You're all jessies.
No, I don't smell like those kids at school who didn't wash. (You know the one).
Dry clean suits whenever they clam up.
Everything else is clean every day.
LOL, at just a dayA day - like a teeshirt?
LOL againA couple of days - like a change-into shirt?
not with my wretched stinking feetA week like socks?
Shirts - every day
Socks and underwear - every day
Jeans - whenever they need it
Some of you people are animals.

It does interest me, trousers for 2+ days is not contended. Everyone, ever the OCD shirtists seem fine with that. Even though office workers spend most of their time sat on a soft seat, legs closed more or less, gentley pickling their under carriage in foisty fug. The top half is in one lair of cotton, well ventiated, not pressed against anything...
Seriously, which bit of clothing do you think gets funky after 2 days?
My merkin.
My mankini
commando
Boys smell - and now I know why!
Seriously, which bit of clothing do you think gets funky after 2 days?
Well it's not an assumption, I have a fair bit of experience of wearing trousers and shirts.
Shirts do get smellier faster, for a couple of reasons.
1) They are directly in contact with a large area of my core which needs the most cooling and hence can get quite sweaty.
2) There is nothing underneath them, as there is in the case of my trousers.
If I were wearing really tight trousers hugging my crotch, and I was going commando, then maybe I'd change my trousers daily.. but I'm not 🙂

What are you doing to require all this cooling? Surely if you're wearing a shirt, you're not doing labour, exerting much effort. Do you need on of these fitting to help cool your core?

Swollox.

Umm.. cycling, running, and generally being alive.
It'll be that high metabolism burning up the excess calories that does it.
some of you people are the people you sit behind on the bus that make you want to get up and sit somewhere else once the smell hits you
Molly I dont think anyone is actually saying you should not change clothes or shower after excercise when you will smell
i think what they are saying is that sitting in a office at a desk does not generate lots of heat after just 8 hours sitting there after a shower
You keep thinking that stinky!
🙄
Alright alright, keep your shirt on....oh you did. 😉
Were any of you near the cycling magazines in sheffield WHS at lunch - I had to move away because of the smell
To be fair the three likely candidates for being the source of the odour all looked a bit old and rather rotund to be keen cyclists . . . But you never know :-O
Oh the fresh from the road touring cyclist is a horrific thing, if I get three in the shop at a time I'll have the door open for hours, even if it's February.
Well, all said and done if LHS' personal hygeine problems are as severe as he makes out, at least he is willing to put in the extra ironing time to address them so they don't effect his life... much. 😉
Junky, wearing the same shirt two days in a row is minging, soz my lovely, but it is.
Yes, I have personal hygeine problems because i am the one who is reluctant to change my clothes regularly! 🙄
The thing I can't understand is why go to the bother of showering and getting yourself clean, just to put back on a dirty shirt?
Junky, wearing the same shirt two days in a row is minging, soz my lovely, but it is.
How about wearing it for a day, lobbing it in the wash basket and then at the end of the week filtering out the least smelly ones if you've forgotten to put a wash on?
Even if the shirt didn't smell, I'd be like "didn't you have that shirt on yesterday?" What else haven't you bothered to change stinky boy
Washing baskets are the world of stink.
Just wash your clothes, how hard can that be?
