My pants always smell....worn.
So, a frequent topic of conversation on this sub is whether or not to go commando, and a lot of the women who say they don't or can't cite that it's because they'd have to wash their pants more often.
I always wear underwear myself for several reasons, but even so, I still feel like I need to wash my pants after every wear. When I do a sniff test of my pajamas in the morning or my work pants at the end of the day, they smell like... me. Doesn't matter that if I just showered right before I put them on. It's not overpowering (at least I don't think so), but they definitely have a distinct hooha scent. The smell varies depending on where I'm at in my cycle, but the point is that they smell like biomatter, not clean laundry. Occasionally, if I'm really dehydrated, there might even be a faint urine smell.
Tbh, one of my biggest icks is putting biomatter-tainted pants back on over clean underwear, or worse, over a freshly showered body. I'm sure my pants get threadbare and washed out faster than the average pair, but I can't bring myself to live any other life.
So, for you ladies who wear your pants more than once, I ask you this....How?? Do some women just not leave any noticeable scent behind, or are the rest of you simply less bothered than I am by that already worn smell?
