Well personally, I change my clothes daily. Or more than once in a day if I happen to have been playing sports.

how ridiculous. some clothes last more than one wear, some only one...if you're me then you spill things regularly and thus regular washing is required! my mum always yelled at me if i only wore things once and then put them for wash, so now its 2 days tops if i havent spilled anything!

During the very hot week in June this, I didn't change my clothes or shower for a week, and no one complained.

Depends if you are a sweaty or stinky person. Or if you are clumsy and spill stuff on yourself all the time. And how much you care about outward appearances (like if you are actually worried about whether people will think you're grim if they notice you've been wearing the same thing for ages).

You should do it daily. You could probably get away with twice.

a t shirt will get 1-2 days usage.

A pair of jeans will get 2 months + usage between washes

Nice, I'll bear that in mind for the future, I will save more money on washing clothes now.
I don't wash my jeans for weeks, who cares. They don't smell

lol, long story.
How gross! You should change tops everyday and jeans or trousers can perhaps last 2 days but dont wear them on consecutive days.. give them time to air or something in between. And don't sit next to people on buses.. trust me, even if you don't think you smell, other people generally will.
I change my top every day and I wear trousers twice before washing... in the winter I wear a different jumper/sweater everyday but as they are only used occasionally in summer, once a week.

Lol, I was with the army, on an FTX, did manage to change my underwear every few days though.

Smell them after they've been detatched from your body for some time (perhaps overnight). If they retain any semblence of 'smell' then wash. I think 2 days is a maximum, 3 if you are very lucky.

Cymru am byth, they were probably just polite! I shower twice a day during a headwave because I feel so 'heated' and urgh, but normally in autumn/winter/spring only every 2-3 days, but you may be 'lucky' as you live in Wales, which if it follows Cardiff's example, is either cold most of the time or raining! Though I still like Wales.

My bro on a week scout camp had two pairs of boxers for a week. Normal, backwards, inside out, inside out backwards and commando.
