NWR: changing your sheets

The Potters, on September 1, 2010 at 4:58 PM Posted in Planning 0 62

For those of you who live with your guy, how often do you change your sheets? I was watching 'The Doctors' and they said you should change them every time you have sex. WHAT??? And no matter what, definitely once a week. Maybe I'm just lazy or gross, but I change mine maybe once a month. There is no way I'd change them every time after having sex, that seems a little crazy to me. What about you?

    Ha. i am w/ Wow. And I often fall in to every 2 weeks, because I have 4 kids bedding sets to do as well. And quite frankly i would rather spend my time having sex than worrying about washung the laundry. LOL. Laundry is a constant flow through my house Smiley sad

    Once every two weeks. If you put down a towel for sex that elimanates the need to change them so often, lol. Sometimes I will wash them once a week, but usually every other is fine.

    OMG, every 3 days or so! I take a shower in the am & before bed every night & love climbing into nice cool sheets.

    After sex, of course. Ugh, I can't imagine going a month. That is gross.

    I definitely have found that I wash and change them MUCH more now that I have multiple sets of sheets. We used to only have one and it was very problematic.

    Once or twice a week, depending...our bedroom has the worst circulation so in the summer it's super hot and he gets kind of gross, lol. In winter it's usually once a week.

    I live in an apartment with no WD hookup, so I do laundry (if Im lucky at my moms for free) and thats about 2 or three times a month so I'll change my sheets when I do laundry. But after sex? What? Thats crazy.

    Once or twice a month... When we get multiple sheet sets I'll change them more often, I'm sure.

    And after sex every time?! That just seems ridiculous. That would run up the water and electricity bill THROUGH THE ROOF!!!

    I go like once a month (I know thats not ideal) but I have to pay for washer/dryer in the basement of my apt and in grad skool so you really have to prioritize and have proper coin-age. I'd rather have more room for underwear lol! I agree idealling should be once a week..also i should clarify my FH doesn't live with me right now so my sheets aren't all sex-ified for a month lol.

    When I'm working and have a schedule, every week or every other week (depends on how busy I am) and it's always on a Sunday when I'm doing all the other laundry.

    Right now, it's about once a month.

    This is the second time I've washed sheets this week though because the kids I babysat this weekend had lice and last night while I was sleeping my scalp was itching like crazy so I want to wash them again and have FH check my head when he gets home. I think it's just dry scalp--I get dandruff and I also used some lice shampoo after I babysat the kids this weekend so I think that maybe it irritated my scalp... but I don't know for sure. So, ... yea. Washing sheets twice this week. Maybe three times if I do end up having lice Smiley sad Smiley sad Smiley sad
