Some people change their socks every single day, to me that’s a little to much. I’m more of a 2-3days kinda guy. Is changing socks each day absolutely necessary?
Edit: Obviously something is wrong with me, I’ll take some time to rethink my life decisions and buy more socks! 😅 Edit2: I mostly wear wool socks, I hope that justifies this a bit…
One you fucking heathen
😅
You’re that stinky guy, still in his 20’s, who doesn’t think he stinks right?
Pfft…
Too close to the bone?
I agree.
OP, do you also only shower once every couple days, and maybe use deodorant that same amount?
Wearing socks more than 1 day in a row means you’ve failed to uphold the social contract.
Once the socks come off, they go through the laundry before I put them on again. They’re just not comfortable unless they’re fresh.
Same. Back when I wasnt remote working, I’d carry two pairs of socks because I’d go to the gym in the middle of the day, shower, then when I went back to work, new socks.
Changing socks is like changing undies. Daily at minimum. Don’t see how being woolen changes anything. Wool socks absorb sweat and bacteria just as much as anything else
Not quite like changing undies, which cover open orifices.
My butt closes. You have my condolences :o)
It doesn’t. It’s an unsealed orifice.
My socks smell like cheese after a single day, and I can wash a month’s worth of them in a single load of laundry, what am I gaining by wearing them multiple days in a row?
This is exactly the type of thing I imagine my fellow Lemmings asking as a serious question.
Once a sock comes off I cannot put on a used sock again. So at least once a day for me.
Dude I already know you smell
Two. They’re Darn Tough wool socks, and the packaging recommends even more days between washes for longevity.
Before these I had only worn cotton socks, mostly Nike, and those stink like hell and did need to be washed daily. But these wool ones really don’t, even in the summer.
I also alternate pairs, so they’re not two days in a row. e.g. A B A B C D C D etc.
This is the way.
Edit: okay to add more substance agreeing with you, Darn Tough socks, and in general merino wool socks, is a life changer. I didn’t believe it initially because I live in a tropical country, but dangit merino wool socks is magical. It still feels cool when I’m stationary. Sure it gets a bit warm when I’m walking about, but I still don’t get that damp feeling with typical cotton socks. Feetill dry the end of the day and sock still doesn’t smell.
I wear darn tough, still change them daily. I have on occasion worn a pair for more than a day but that has been special circumstances. They don’t get nasty like cotton socks but it’s still going to feel and smell better with a fresh pair.
As for longevity, they have a lifetime warranty.
Days?
Winter time and minimal activity, if Im running low on socks or if Im lazy and they are right there I might give a pair a second day.
Summertime? If they come off they are done. I could go 3 pairs in a day.
Depends what I’m doing. Yardwork or exercise? Change as soon as I’m done. Just sitting around the house in pyjamas? They’re fine to wear again.
Two caveats: I don’t wear socks to bed, and if I’m wearing socks indoors (I prefer bare feet) I always wear shoes or slippers over them
If clothes touch skin directly then they are put in the wash every day (socks, underwear {boxers}, tee shirt, shirts etc…) other wise it is a check to see.id still.good for follo days - did jeans get muddy / dirty, did I spill coffee on trousers etc… jeans go in wash after a week of wearing even if no spills / mud
If I take my socks off, they go straight in the wash, if I need socks again that day, fresh ones go on
