The other day on Twitter I asked the question “how many times do you wear a pair of jeans before you wash them?” The answers were varied so I’ll let the responses speak for themselves. Multipliers are included to denote multiple similar responses. Here are the results:

Definitive numbers
one time (citing OCD)
2-3 times x8
3-4 on average
5-7 times x3

Sensory gauge
“when they look, feel or smell dirty”

High variability
“between 1 and 25″

Pigpen-style, or just machine wash clueless
“r jeans washable?”
“you’re supposed to wash them?” x2
“I plead the fifth”
“when I lose count I wash, I can count pretty high”
