[They have] an aroma… It’s not an unpleasant smell, per se, but it’s a smell
My knee-jerk reaction was that I don’t want to have “an aroma”, but I think it’s a valid question whether our current society is a bit too overhygienic. Eg. washing clothes too often is going to just wear them out faster, meaning more resources wasted on new clothes
If you’re working out in those pants and they don’t smell like vinegar after 4-5 uses without washing it means your sweat salt concentration is high enough to keep odor-causing bacteria at bay. Which is basically normal 👍
If you get headaches after working out though or experience vertigo then you’re losing too much salt and should down some electrolyte solution (e.g. Gatorade) instead of just water.
No aroma trick used by stage actors who couldn’t wash costumes in between performances: vodka in a spray bottle. I’ve tried it for jeans and can confirm it 100% removes odors. I wash my clothes, but it is a great “emergency” solution for laundry day. The vodka dries very quickly and you’re on your way.

I wash my pants after 4-5 uses and unless I spill something on them or use them for a workout, there is no smell.
That’s not true of under shirts, socks, underwear, etc though.
Yeah pretty much the same. Washing pants after every one or two uses seems like madness.

And then nobody can smell the vodka on your breath!
Win win
Ha, I wonder how that works. Maybe the alcohol kills off, err, “aromatic” bacteria?
