Are You stinky?!

Wash immediately. Keep plenty of stuff in rotation.

juscallmeb

i can't wear workout clothes again after i have already worked out and sweated like a piggy, so in the washer they go!
i have plenty of sports bras and shirts/shorts that get me through a week or 2.

i'll throw away sports bras if they are to the point where they need to go. lol

I am a big time sweater.. So my cloths get changed out after each workout.

MorgaineFey

I wash all clothing I will wear to a gym, class, etc. each time. If I am working out in my living room, enh, who's gonna care? Just makes the dogs want to roll on me more.

I do wash my hot yoga mat EVERY SINGLE TIME. I sweat a TON and that sucker soaks it all in. I don't want to even THINK about what that would smell like if I left it!!

daaamon

if they stink, I wash them
If they don't stick, I don't wash them.

foodfight247

That's just gross! Everyone should wash their clothes after EVERY workout. Ew! Sorry just my personal take on hygiene.

YoungerNextYear59937

I wear the same underwear every workout. I wash them once a year. Keeps the workouts interesting.

Where have you been all my life?

jcstanton

I HAVE to wash after wearing. I sweat a lot when I workout. That would be disgusting lol.

^^DITTO!

I have to wash the clothing after each wear.

I sometimes think I look like the Peanuts character PigPen after a run. (Stink lines radiated off me.) :laugh:

On another note, I love this Penguin stuff. I don't know the details (ie: does it chemically neutralize odors or does it physically help clean wicking fibers so that no odors are trapped??). I just know it works!

By far the best forum response of the day.

I agree!

Diary_Queen

I have a ton of workout clothes, so i wear a diff set each time and wash clothes twice a week... however, there are some workouts where i wish i could stop in the middle, change clothes because theyre so grossly sweaty and shower, then come back fresh for the 2nd part... sometimes i stink like a sack of rained on fritos during a workout and i dont care... all the rest of my workout buddies stink too.. except this one woman that smells like she replaced her body fluids with perfume that smells like cotton candy. she makes me gag when im mid workout!

I workout at home so I don't worry about being stinky. I wear the workout clothes daily for a week and then wash on laundry day. I would wash daily if I was leaving the house.

Nerdy_Rose

I'm dirty.
I will wear the same workout pants and bra for like a week without washing.

macpatti

Every time I wear them, they get washed. I wish my 17 year old football player would do the same. He claims if he doesn't think he smells, then sweat-soaked clothes are okay to dry out and wear again. Oh, and he considers "being wadded up in a gym bag" is drying. Yuck.

MissC787

I only wear once and wash.

MystiqueASAP

I have quite a bit of workout gear and wash it after every wear.

BigDaddyBRC

Never, I love the funk of awesomeness bleed

brittanidigby

Always wash after one use. That'd be disgusting to not wash it and use it again.

rm830

I go maybe two workouts without washing the pants or shorts...but a shirt I won't wear more than once.

! I never want to be the stinky person either... I am paranoid about that as well.

This ^^ I don't have enough pants/bottoms to wash after every time, especially on the days I go twice so yeah I will wear up to 2 times MAX!!! Shirts I have an abundance of...

Mich3ll36

interesting and funny question.. im compulsive... i wash after ever use. i never reuse. lol

gudiiya

Yukky to reuse...but the worst is when u workout next to a person who sta - inks!!! Time to change machines...lol

cuatromommy

I wear workout gear once, then wash. I'm an excessive sweater, so I could probably even stand to change half way through my workout.

So, yes...I am stinky.

ninaquelinda

I can't wear something I've worked out in already, I always sweat. My daughter on the other hand... I have to force her to give me her laundry, after PT or Track she will shower but still put the same clothes back on.. drives me nuts!!!!

Pete_Mann

Every time I use it, I wash it. I bought 10 sets of gear too so I can even do two a days and have enough that I dont have to do laundry every day.

I see some people in the gym in the same clothes every day, and I just think "eeeewww" One time I actually complained to the manager about one guy.

secretgirl4611

I have different workout clothes thru out the wk so yea once Im down to my last outfit I wash em all..

enyo123

I only wear my workout gear once before washing. It's generally soaked when I'm done. I've noticed that with the wicking gear, the smell lingers, even though I wash it after every use. I'm thinking I'm going to have to get rid of one of my favorite tops because it stinks. Not right away, but as soon as I get warm it starts to smell funky. It happened today. I just pulled it out of the dryer, wore it, and some guy who was exercising next to me moved. I hope it wasn't me, but I don't know...so it's got to go.

Have you tried using an Oxy Clean type thing? I use it periodically when my kids' cloth diapers are a little smelly after being washed. If it can take care of my boy's wicked ammonia pee and my girl's horrid poop stains, I'm pretty sure it will help out your favorite top. (And since you're getting ready to toss it, anyway, it's not like you'll lose out if it doesn't work.)

Every damned time, who would not!
