I had to put depends because what I have worn the day before gets thrown on first thing in the morning, reason you ask?? Well, my dog wants out first thing and I do not go out in T-shirt and undies, so I grab yesterday's clothes.

It depends .. if I have a shirt on for a couple hours and I am not sweating in it .. lol .. I will wear it again. Same with jeans .. I will wear them a few times before washing. When I was younger I'd wear them once and wash them .. NEVER would I wear anything more than once without washing it.
Now of course underwear and socks I will only wear once .. lol
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them. Distance and time may separate us but friendship and memories won't.

it depends on the type of material it is and if it needs to be dry cleaned-or regular washing-most things are worn only once,then washed

If it get stains on it or it smells, I wash it right away. If not, I wash it when its dirty.

Once for me. Towels I was about 3X's a week. My clothes are changed everyday after my morning shower. Now my PJ bottoms I'll usually wear 2 nights in a row but thats because I get so hot at night I usually end up stripping them off in the middle of the night.

it depends -- on the item and what was done in the clothes.
jeans: typically wear 3x unless I get them dirty on the first go round.
undies/bras/socks: worn once only and washed.
shirts: typically wear 2x unless I get shwetty or dirty on the first go round.
everyone is allotted 3 towels: 1 for hair, 1 for body, 1 for floor/mat --
hair and floor towels get washed after 5 uses...body towel gets washed after 2 uses (because you are clean when you get out of the tub!!)
washclothes get washed after 1 use.
bedding gets changed every 3 days, but washed once a week (blankets/quilts get washed 2x a month)2 days from now, tomorrow will be yesterday.

Once for me, except for my long PJ's. I only wear them an hour or so before bed, while lounging around the house, then take them off when I go to bed, lol!

It depends on what I am doing in the clothes and weather I got them dirty or not. Jeans I will wear a couple of times, shirts once, unless it's just for a little bit. Panties only once. Bras, summer time, only once. Winter time, I might get by with twice. Socks only once. Bath towels, 3 or 4 times, my favorite hair towel usually 5 or 6 times.

I am that way with good clothes. If I put something ON to wear to a wedding/funeral or whatever and only had it on for a couple hours. It didn't get dirty.
