While I don't wear mine for 15 months without washing, jeans are meant to be worn for a while without washing.

Is he scrunching his eyes cause the pants smell so bad?

Sorry, just read the Limbaugh link from the Fark politics tab and I couldn't resist...

This works.

I'm being 100% serious in asking this questions here (god help me)

I've been trying to break in a pair of those raw denim pants for like 2 years now, I've tried everything, any suggestions?

Meh. Try wearing the same skivvies for 15 months, now. Or try wearing them jeans without skivvies for 15 months. The whole town will be torn between burning you at the stake to get rid of the smell, or just selling tickets on when you spontaneously ignite.

pft, Im going on month number 48 as we speak

Unless you get something dirty on them or get hot and sweaty while wearing them pants can definitely be worn more than once without washing.

Socks, undies, and shirts not so much

I usually wear jeans three or four times before washing them.

Unless I go out in them, jeans are like sponges when it comes to smoke, they'll be stinking of smoke after just 10 minutes inside a club.

"They're called skinny jeans...they're kinda in right now."

/"They're kinda not"/

I wore the same pair of jeans for 15 years until they fell apart. Luckily I was at home when that happened. I think the problem is that I washed them too much...

Why there might be fewer bacteria:

"There were times when it had a bad odour, like in the seventh month," Le said. "That's when I threw it in the freezer and magically when it came out it was odourless."

Also, why i weep for the farking future.

Magic?

REALLY? You dumbfark? REALLY?

I haven't washed my jeans for 15 months because that would be too long.

"There were times when it had a bad odour, like in the seventh month," Le said. "That's when I threw it in the freezer and magically when it came out it was odourless."

And as an added bonus, it infused all the food in the freezer with crotch stink. Yummy.

Are you therefore advocating that instead of washing my clothes, I can simply freeze them? I imagine freezing them is more energy efficient.

fatalvenom: This works.

After 15 months, I doubt even a 55 gallon drum of Febreze would be enough...

This is a fashion trend?

Lazy bastard can't afford to wash his jeans, calls it science instead. Those crafty asians, always thinking

the highest recordings of bacteria were found in the crotch of the jeans at 10,000 units per square centimetre,

Imagine the count in a Lohan pair.

I've been sitting naked on my chair for 15 months. No smells!

Why yes, that's exactly it. Rather than discussing the article at hand, i was actually speaking to you, a person i have never met, written to or otherwise encountered before.

Because i am magic.

Run to your dresser right now and you will find a tiny, multicolored pony named Mister Sprinkles.

Go, do it now.

That's about normal for dry denim enthusiasts. Yes, they all put them in the freezer like that and use Febreeze in spite of the whole fact that Febreeze shouldn't come into contact with skin.

Sometimes, they sit in an ice-cold bath tub wearing them when they first buy 'em.

"lab tests showed the bacteria build-up didn't pose a health hazard." Before we had soap many a person died from unwashed clothes

Wow. Home town hero! I'm so proud.

My rule of thumb is I wear jeans for one week or until I spill something on them, whichever comes first. Then I wash them.

Definitely. Back in college, I followed a pattern of wearing two pairs of jeans: one would be for long walks and my manual-labor job, the other would be for going to class and other situations where scent should be minimal. Then every Saturday I would wash both. I would also wash my socks, boxers, undershirts and regular shirts on Saturdays as well. It usually came out to be two or three washer loads, as the dorm washers were small. And yet I'd see other people fit all their weekly clothes into one washer load, either they wore the same clothes every day or they didn't understand the concept of overfilling machines.

And I'm sure they didn't appreciate the copious amounts of bleach I used for my whites, as those machines were somewhat decrepit and didn't flush their systems all the way. But that's what they get for taking my wet clothes out of the dryer so they could use it on my dime.

I've been wearing the same pair of pants for two weeks, so I'm really getting a kick out of this thread.

Most cloth is not a very good conductor for transferring bacteria unless wet.

As long as people wear underpants, you can certainly go several wears without washing but 15 months is nasty

There are cheap jeans and there are expensive jeans but there is NEVER a reason to stink in public if you're not homeless. Wearing jeans and not washing them is plain stupid.

Soooo... he wore them for fifteen months straight but only wore them 200 times?

You ever operated a hydraulic jackhammer? Get a job working on the railroad. You could break those suckers in within a week.

i have some oiled and tarred up jeans that i need to toss out.

A ballsack conundrum awaits you and all of Fark's mutual amusement

RoyBatty:

You're fine..as long as there are no slats in your chair!

At least the experiment was not washing his jeans. Just imagine if he considered not washing his boxers or not bathing or not using deodorant or toothpaste.

RoyBatty: I've been sitting naked on my chair for 15 months. No smells!

1) Does your chair have slats

2) Is your chair a bean bag chair
2a) if so are you eating cheetos

SLATS!

I lived across the hall from a guy who I think was trying that. It was terrible.

My science teacher in high school wore the same outfit every.single.day. He wore the same jeans and for like a 4 day period he switched to some shiatty khaki pants then reverted back to the jeans. The imprint of his wallet was hilarious.

He also had a huge-ass gut and one day a button from one of his sweaters just ricocheted across the room.

You know how sometimes you're a cynical asshole most of the time but there is always that one person you just feel bad for? That was him.

I know a junkyard mechanic that bathes once a month. They call him the walking grease rag.

I knew a guy in high school who wore the same part of pants for like 2 years straight, daily..... the color they took on was indescribable man... like golden brown with a demi texture...

/he *DIDN'T* do it for science.

I hope you're joking. Stop being such an obtuse moron.

What a long strange trip it's been...

do crabs count as bacteria?

Not a problem if you make sure you A. Wear clean underwear EVERY DAY WITHOUT FAIL, and B. Wash your ass EVERY DAY/TWICE A DAY.
Most of the dirt will come from the outside, not the inside.
