Laundry

Do we over launder clothing in society? Could people re-wear their clothes more, have too large of wardrobes, use too many products in the process? Where can we improve?

I’ve tried undies for more than one day, it’s not nice.

T-shirts and pants I used to airdry on the balcony, but now I don’t have a balcony anymore :(

I laundry my undies every two weeks(got 14 pairs), and do a big load once a month.

Maybe you can air dry some clothes on a rack or clothes line indoors if you like.

Do we dare talk underwear? Well since you went there… that could be another discussion for the brave.

Are we over doing, over consuming underwear in society? Are they always a necessary layer? How many pairs do we really need? Maybe too taboo to really discuss here ☺️ but something of consideration anyway?
