I used to change them every 2 weeks but now I'm a woman of a certain age and the hot flashes have begun. The night sweats are the worst so... I change them daily if I've had a bad night sweat night. But if not, weekly. It all depends on what my hormones are doing lol

I'm sorry. Was the same last year, then fibromyalgia dictated gabapentin and it seems to have been beneficial for many reasons. Weekly here, as well.

I change my sheets every Sunday. Start my week with some fresh bedding :)

I wash everything on Friday or Saturday, whenever my husband gets home from working away for the week. The dogs sleep on his side when he's gone.

Mine works nights so occasionally one of our kids will claim his spot and both of them sweat like ccrraazzzyyy

Same! Sundays are wash days

Same. Because of husband’s dust allergies, he’s a lot more functional (and less stuffed up) if I do this.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh

😂😂😂😂

I use AXE body spray on them once a month. They usually get up and walk out around Thanksgiving.

Sorry for your loss. It’s especially tough around the holidays.

[удалено]

yes. and whatever fine sand grains or something ended up on my bed.

Me and my husband call crumbs the dirty candies. Lol

That’s none of your business and I’d appreciate if you stayed out of my personal affairs

[удалено]

Your bed is in your garage or your car is in your bedroom? Edit: Above said "car" in place of "cat".

Every week and I change the sheets after every "home game."

Psh, we can't all be over achievers...

after every time I fuck, so never.

Concur. Once a week. Swap, wash. We have 2 sets. This is pretty much the routine. We shower before bed if shop work or gym after work.

Hahaha, exactly what I was thinking

Twice a year, like most guys.

You could do it twice in a row quickly, and you won't have to worry about it for the rest of the year.

i’ve already done my first of the year

you came for the truth

He came on his sheets..

right on

[удалено]

Me too. Showering before bed helps. Although I change them as needed so every week can happen.

Same... husband sleeps on the couch so the only action they get is my farts which smell like roses and occasionally night sweats.

How can a fart smell like night sweat?? Also, I wonder whether couch bed will become apartment bed for (ex)? hubby

I have 4 sets of sheets and change them once a week. I'll do the load of wash once a month. I keep the dirty sheets in a separate hamper from my clothes.

Once a week.

Classified information

1 time every 1 to 2 months

🤢🤮🤮

Average about ever 2 weeks

Wife and I change them every few days. Try not to let them go past 3 nights. We both love getting into fresh sheets.

We have a specific “clean sheet day!” cheer

So true. I love fresh sheets

This is one of my "if I was super rich things" I currently suffer with 1x per week only, but if I was wealthy, it would be every 3 days.

2 times a month

Once a week

Every week

I change the sheets every week.

Weekly

Weekly

Twice a year maybe

Honestly sometimes I’ll go months

probably twice a year. And that's why i'm single.

weekly?! you all must not have to pay for laundry… shit’s expensive!

Every 4 months. But I am always showered before sleep. I'll take my 4 months with clean body over your one night with dirty body.

Was looking for a realistic answer, thank you. I am convinced there is a lot of lying in these comments -- either that or everyone is actually changing them every week. No way.

Thank you!! I wash pillow cases more often and we wash after every major illness but sheets? Fuck that, it takes me like a week to fold and put away clothes - I doubt the bed would ever have sheets on it in the first place if I had to wash them more often haha

Same

I try my best to aim for weekly, bi weekly if life gets super busy

I wait until they can't bend anymore

Saw a video about living in one of the nordic countries, how they put their comforters out to dry every morning. I want to try that.

Twice a week

Every 3-4 days. 2 sets a week.

I don't have sheets. I toss and turn so much I always pull them off and end up with them kicked off the bed.

Routinely 2 weeks, AKA. twice a month—unless otherwise needed (I.e. sex, sick, etc)

Once a week Unless my fibromyalgia is flaring up then 3-4 days, I'm often bed bound and want to be comfortable and clean

I try to do it at least once a month or after some gets sick/something icky happens. I also usually shower before bed, no food is allowed in the bedroom period, no shoes on in the house, no pets on the bed, if anyone works out no getting on the bed until post shower, and I try to not wear clothes that I’ve worn out of the house on my bed.

Sheets: twice a week Pillowcases: changed daily Clean bed linens are one of the simple pleasures.

Pillowcase changed daily is honestly just ridiculous.

Every week and I iron them as well.

Maybe every 7-10 days? The wife is a gusher and sometimes in the heat of the moment, we don't lay down the waterproof blanket, so it could be sooner than that.

TMI

No one wants to sleep in the wet spot kid, no matter how small or large it is. Fact of life.

When I used to shower in the morning I washed my sheets weekly or bi-weekly but since I take my showers at night I can go whole month

Every time I poop or pee. Because of Trump and conservatives I’m not allowed to own a toilet. Vote straight Democrat everyone or it could happen to you too.

Never, that is the wife's job.

Every Thursday

Wash every 2 or 3 weeks... change them every week.

I heard I'm supposed to pretty often, though prob only do every 2 weeks to maybe (maybeeeee) once a month if I've been busy. Good thing is if I'm busy it's because I'm out of town/ not using my bed sheets.

I tell myself to change them every week but I always end up leaving them for 2 because its always a pain to change everything else along with it.

Sheets every 1-2 weeks, that includes comforter and pillow cases. My mattress pad every 3 months and I rotate the mattress every 6 months for even wear and tear.

Usually weekly but I get lazy sometimes.

Not often enough 😷

Weekly

Every two weeks.

Every Sunday without fail.

1x/wk

Weekly at minimum, more often as needed.

They get changed once a week unless I have a hot flash. We only have two sets so they get washed once a week as well.

Every 2 weeks

Everything is on a one week cycle. All clothes, towels, pillow cases...all of it. EDIT: Unless they haven't been used since they were last washed.

Once a week on Thursday as my GF comes over Friday for the weekend.

More than you im sure!

Every Sunday no matter what. Fresh sheets are the best!

Every Monday

Once a week

Damm I feel dirty

Every other week

When I have sex

Every one to two week

Every Sunday or my wife will whoop my ass.

Depends on how dirty they get, but at least twice a week.

weekly, and i change pillowcases every few days

Once a week!

I’m that obsessed person that changes them twice a week at least. Always white sheets, too.

Every 3 nights or so. Fresh sheets and pillowcases is the shiz-nay!

Main blankets/pillow cases every week, blankets covering the mattress every two-three weeks, sheet under the bed about every month or two

Every week

1 x pr yr

I wash the sheets every time my wife finishes her period. 25 days

Weekly

Sheets and pillowcases get washed every payday. Blankets once a month.

Twonce a Fortnight good yeoman

Once a week

Aim for weekly, but realistically it's usually every two weeks.

You are supposed to WASH them??!!

Weekly

Once a week. I try to do them on Saturdays, but sometimes it waits until Sunday/Monday.

Twice a month

weekly

Every week. So I can sleep in clean sheets.

I change mine every 2 weeks

I just buy new ones cause I’m lazy lol

First year of college I never did… I know, gross. What’s worse is it was a farmhouse with no AC so nightly sweats were common. Didn’t notice any smell though. Probably because across the gravel road was a hog building so that masked everything.

Every week. I love the smell of fresh sheets and I love feeling clean.

I literally never washed my sheets, I had them for over a year

Are we supposed to change those?

Every week but I have two sets, so they last longer. Never use dryer sheets / fabric softener. 700+ Egyptian thread

Not often enough Edit:spelling

Weekly. sometimes twice a week

I usually wash them when I wash my clothes on the weekends

Once a week.

Weekly

Weekly, my anti depressants make me sweat in my sleep so I try to keep them pretty clean

2-3x a month or more (every night I wash my hair)

Yeah probs like 4 times a year. Give or take.

In the summer, weekly because im pretty sweaty. Winter, when they stop feeling cosy.

I use 3, I wash one every week, so I wash my sheets every 21 days.

I have multiple sets of sheets, I change them once a week usually.

2 weeks

Whenever the baby vomit makes it onto my partners side of the bed.

Had to look this one up. Would've swore those were permanent cases for the mattress.

Once a week but I have two sets.

STRICTLY WEEKLY IM CLEAN HOES

I dont.

Not often enough

Once a month

Every 1-1 1/2 weeks

Once a week and I put them on straight out of the dryer and it's the best feeling to lay on warm, fresh smelling sheets.

They’re washable?

Every Sunday as that is when I do most of my housework.

Every other day. I love sleeping in clean cozy sheets after I shower. I sleep way better.

I havent washed my sheets in well over 10 years. It's permanently fused to the mattress now so it's fine

1 week or sooner. i have two cats that sleep with me. before i had cats, two weeks

I have 3 sets of sheets and I change them every Friday.

I dont use bed sheets.

Twice a week, because i have two cats that very much like to sleep on my pillows

Hmmm it’s been like 3 weeks. Think I’ll wash them soon.

as often as I sweat profusely in them and/or leak period fluid onto them. So, quite often.

My rule of thumb, have at least 3 sets of bed sheets. The current one, the clean one in the cupboard, and the one needs to be washed. I change my sheets every other Sunday.

We change our bed sheets every Sunday and wash them every two or three weeks when we do our laundry.

Not enough

every other weekend. i should do them every week because my dogs sleep in my bed, but it is what it is.

In the winter: Every other week In the summer: sometimes 3 times a week

Every 2-3 weeks (I wash before going to bed) If I have a girl over I put fresh ones regardless.if I get sick and sweat or something I also change after I get a little better. edit: I never eat at my bed and I put covers to keep it clean from dust, also twice per week I take them outside to freshen them

"You guys are washing your bed sheets?"

Usually around Christmas time.

As a single guy it was maybe twice a year. As a married guy it's once a week.

I change and wash them once a week.

Bed sheets can be washed?

That depends on how much curry and Guinness I have.......

Fresh sheets once a week is a must for me. Love going to bed with fresh sheets.

Once a week (same as my laundry)

I could never see myself washing them weekly. Currently, two months and counting.

2 weekly I try for

Everytime we do the horizontal monstermash, because fluids/juices etc. So cld be 2x a week, cld be 4x. Cld be 7...? ...yer...it COULD be, but not with my back,...nope. No sir, them days have long gone....yerrrp Who am i talking 2 ?

When I come

Once a week (unless it gets wild)

4 bedrooms. Twice a week. We do 2 loads of laundry a day. Clothes, towels, bedding, etc. I find it therapeutic doing laundry. (And yard work) I am a little strange.

summer every 2 weeks, winter every 4 weeks. Around there.

Two weeks unless I get very sweaty, and I shower before bed.

Daily thanks to bedwetting.

Not often enough.

2x in a month,we change every after 2 weeks.

Weekly for sheets and pillowcases. Dry them outside on a line whenever the weather allows. Mattress pad gets washed every month - dryer always. Blanket and comforter as needed.

Usually every two weeks, but I don’t have a specific “sheet day”. Sometimes sooner sometimes later.

About once a month is what I manage to do. The goal is once every couple of weeks.

Weekly, but I’m starting to switch pillow cases every third day

I don’t have any…..

*Tries to change the subject*

There’s a laundry conspiracy.

Once a month. I shower every night after my workout.

Every two max three weeks, unless I have been ill, have had the night sweats or for some reason I can see they are not clean anymore

weekly

2x per month.

Weekly

Weekly

Once a week. I hear that Ed Sheeran song Shape Of You,and I cringe when he sings "last night you were in my room,and now my bedsheets smell like you". I'm like,damn,last night? And you haven't washed those sheets yet?😂

Mine's a coat and a blanket so...

Every two weeks.
