How many times clothes can be worn before washing

Short answer: Underwear and socks are washed after every wear. T-shirts after one or two times, sweat pieces and trousers after three to five, depending on how much you sweat.

Underwear and socks

After every wear. They lie directly against the skin and take up the most moisture. See bamboo underwear for men.

T-shirts

One or two times if you have not sweated. If you have, then after one. See bamboo t-shirts for men.

Sweat pieces and trousers

Three to five times. They touch the skin less and do not get damp as quickly. See sweat clothing.

Shirts

A vest underneath extends the time between washes. See bamboo vest for men.

Nightwear

Every second or third night. See how to wash nightwear.

Air rather than wash

Hang the clothes free for a night instead of washing them. That removes most of the smell.

Washing

40 degrees without fabric softener. See the washing guide.
