washing/ having "clean" vs. relatively clean clothes is like that suave shampoo commercial. If you can't tell then why should I? recycling its a beautiful thing
stop reading now if you don't like underwear economics and calculus
If you assume that underwear and socks aren't recyclable then you are limited only by the number of pairs of underwear you have. And at some point it is cheaper to buy more underwear than it is to do laundry. if underwear costs x dollars per pair, and laundry costs $1.50 a load on average in fixed costs and you figure in an hours worth of your labor, then laundry costs you 7.50/week, if you only have enough underwear for 1 week. If you took some of that 7.50 and invested in more underwear you could go longer and would yield savings in the long run. Just imagine, 4 weeks worth of underwear, and assuming that all still fits into 1 load, then your monthly laundry expenses are quartered. A last consideration is the lifespan of the underwear and I'm sure there's some sort of calculus equation to figure this out, but I'm lazy. And laziness has nothing to do with not doing laundry, as we already proved that's fuckin' economics.
