Survey: Single Men Change Their Bed Sheets How Often?!

Sheets, you say? My former LVM roommate didn't use sheets on the crusty, disintegrating mattress he put on the floor with no box or frame. So the man has to have sheets in the first place 🤮

Imagine if that's the average, (and imagine that men lie about the numbers, because men certainly have a track record of lying about the numbers) then that means that there are men out there who haven't changed their sheets in years.

The faaaaaace I made at this. I change my sheets at least every other week. Sometimes every week.

I mean, I get other people do things differently, but don’t they notice how the sheets feel gross and smell musty?

This got onto the front page and listen to this absolute pick me comment:

“When I met my BF, he owned one set of sheets, one pillow, one blanket, and one towel 🤦‍♀️

I was staying there a few nights a week, so I just brought over half of my linen closet. I also had some extra fleece, so I made him a second, not terrible blanket. He refers to the blanket as the best gift I've ever given him and refers to the rest of it as "his towels", even though I technically own 80% of them 🙄

I'd like to think I improve the quality of his life, lol”

Thank god FDS keeps me from embarrassing myself in this way😭😭

Am I the only one dry heaving over here?

If men, on average, only change their sheets every three months at best, then they really aren't changing their underwear, are they? Guess this will be a new vetting question, huh?

I get pretty lazy about stuff like that, but I FEEL it when I go more than a week. Especially in the summer!

And getting in to a bed with fresh sheets is the best. If I had that Power Ball money, I'd have someone come change the sheets everyday.

My apartment mate (NVM) has not washed them since we moved in-- a year ago-- and sweats profusely, besides leaving fast food takeout in his room and hoarding all the glasses to dump into the sink (but not wash) a few weeks or months later.

You can smell the stink of the unwashed body odored sheets in the hallway, adjacent bathroom, and living room.

Now he's sleeping in his boxers in the living room with the tv on and his room light on all night 🤡 thankful to be out soon

I have a really sensitive nose and I can smell mold and mildew quite easily. I can also smell who doesn't change their sheets. Even further...I can smell when a woman spent the night with someone who didn't wash their sheets.

Lots of women don't wash their sheets either (I'm horrified to admit I was 20 when I learned how regularly one is supposed to...guess what, my family doesn't wash their sheets) but men in their 20s-30s are the worst offenders.

I have two coworkers who don't wash their sheets.

All I can imagine is the thin layer of skin cells and sweat caked up 🤢

They need to get it together asap wtf.

Davina33 · 2021-07-13T19:43:55+00:00

4 times a year and only one set of bedding? I've only been living alone 2 months and I've already bought 3 sets. My parents were gross. We only had a bottom sheet and it would never get changed. I don't understand filthy people.

mamadgaf · 2021-07-13T18:42:58+00:00

I just came here to post this.

Annnnddddd…. this is why men need us, ladies!

ComprehensiveAmoeba9 · 2021-07-13T19:33:07+00:00

How disgusting🤢 especially during the summer when it’s hot out and they tend to sweat more. I used to work a night shift job and would sleep during the day so since it was hotter I’d sweat a lot when I was asleep. I felt gross if I didn’t change and wash my sheets AT LEAST once every few days

lolmemberberries · 2021-07-13T22:27:08+00:00

I change mine once a week. These dudes are musty.

Ananoriel · 2021-07-13T23:57:27+00:00

I believe it is recommended to do it every 1-2 weeks, depending on the fabrics, how much you sweat or have sex (very nasty sorry). So that is on average 34,67 times a year (I took 1,5 times instead of 1 or 2) compared to 4(!) times. I don't want to know how many germs are in their nests.

MadameDestruction · 2021-07-13T17:23:52+00:00

I read the average of 4 times a year and I swear my eyes just rolled back into my head

NinjaCynic · 2021-07-13T23:52:10+00:00

Disgusting, but not surprising. I also need a well-ventilated bedroom. Windows need to be open to air the room out during the day, otherwise I can't stand the musty stagnant air, even if it's just me sleeping in there.

vaguelinen · 2021-07-13T20:15:25+00:00

Early in my relationship I asked my boyfriend what he liked in bed and he said clean sheets 😍

Last month he bought some new pillowcases as he felt the two that didn’t match the set weren’t as nice as the others. He’s so good at bed!!!

More_Pothos · 2021-07-13T17:18:37+00:00

Spoiler: it’s 4x a year 💀, but from a 2013 article quoting a study done by a mattress and bedding company in Britain 🤷‍♀️. While we all know a lot of men have nasty hygiene habits, I wouldn’t put too much stock into this source.

skyfullofstars89 · 2021-07-14T05:21:47+00:00

Sometimes you are lucky if they even HAVE sheets and pillowcases 🤢

melonmagellan · 2021-07-14T08:53:07+00:00

My mother would faint. It was absolutely required for us to change our sheets every Sunday growing up.

Repulsive-Ad1092 · 2021-07-14T13:36:40+00:00

I can’t have them more than one week. I change them every 4-5 days in the summer. I even have a third set just in case. Meanwhile, scrotes can go 100 days with the same sheets and will not mind the cum stains 🤡 they later have the audacity to call a woman unattractive if she hasn’t shaved her legs.
