The rise of the 'no-wash' movement

Environmental and ecological discussion, particularly of things like weather and other natural phenomena (especially if they're not breaking news).
See also our Nature and Gardening community for discussion centered around things like hiking, animals in their natural habitat, and gardening (urban or rural).

My knee-jerk reaction was that I don't want to have "an aroma", but I think it's a valid question whether our current society is a bit too overhygienic. Eg. washing clothes too often is going to just wear them out faster, meaning more resources wasted on new clothes
I wash my pants after 4-5 uses and unless I spill something on them or use them for a workout, there is no smell.
That's not true of under shirts, socks, underwear, etc though.
Yeah pretty much the same. Washing pants after every one or two uses seems like madness.
If you're working out in those pants and they don't smell like vinegar after 4-5 uses without washing it means your sweat salt concentration is high enough to keep odor-causing bacteria at bay. Which is basically normal ๐
If you get headaches after working out though or experience vertigo then you're losing too much salt and should down some electrolyte solution (e.g. Gatorade) instead of just water.
