You bought $12 sheets and expected good quality?

 

[xxracerxx]

How often do you wash your sheets OP?

 

[QualityPixel]

Material: polyester microfiber

Looks, feels, breathes like cotton. Soft and smooth, not slippery. I quite like my sheets.

 

[anarckitty]

Maybe next time.

Let us know about the new ones.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Let us know about the new ones.

They're pretty fucking good. Reminds me of my sheets in college. Just a little better.

 

[Philia]

ALWAYS invest in a good pair of sheets. ALWAYS. I'd go further and buy a mattress pad to put the sheets on and excellent brand pillows as well.

Marshalls or TJMaxx or Macy's has some great deals on these excellent name brand sheets for nearly half off of the original/online prices.

 

[smurfx]

so what are the best sheets to keep you cool at night?

 

[Ambient80]

We bathe twice a week, Monday and Thursday. It's half and half. Wipes in between since we don't do much. I have a computer job but she works with individuals. She works with one lady who only takes baths twice a month.

*record scratch*

Oh....oh I see...

 

[CLEEK]

How often do you wash your sheets OP?

Twice a year. The rest of the time he just rubs them clean with wet wipes.

You need natural fibres, so that you get air flow through them and sweat can pass though. So cotton or silk. Man made fibres like polyester is like sleeping on a sheet of plastic.

 

[Animator]

Twice a year. The rest of the time he just rubs them clean with wet wipes.

Think of all the water he is saving though!

 

[Currygan]

heard polyester sheets are very good at holding fart odour inside so, if that's your fetish go for it

 

[Nemo]

When I get rich Ima go buck naked on silk all day. You people poor

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

While I appreciate that people here are obviously questioning OP's bathing habits, I have a sneaking suspicion that the cleanliness habit is strongly determined by a lack of funds, not necessarily by personal choices. Simply put, everyone might be making fun of a poor person like a bunch of cunts.

Where the hell do you live that water is more expensive than baby wipes?

 

[LyleLanley]

How often do you wash your sheets OP?

You're supposed to wash sheets?

 

[Switch Back 9]

Egyptian cotton or bust you peasant, good lord.

Spoiler

I've never purchased sheets in my life

Those sheets would be ruined in 3 days with OP.

 

[The Boat]

get FLANNEL SHEETS
also, get a heated blanket

soooo nice

Ugh I find flannel sheets super uncomfortable. With a heated blanket combined it sounds like an itchy, sweaty night.

 

[DriftedPlanet]

I like when the thread is secretly strapped to a rocket.

Wait, what's going on now? How did "I bought shitty sheets and can't believe they suck" turn into "I never bathe"???

Why do so many people on GAF refuse to bathe

Seriously, if you don't shower, just take a fucking shower. Stop making excuses, it's gross.

that's fucking disgusting

So OP paid 12 bucks for sheets and expected them to be good?

If you want cheap and comfortable sheets, get jersey sheets.

edit: welp, I missed the shower reply. OP got more problems than being cheap

Did not expect this turn of events. I'm chuckling like a fool thanks to you guys.

Spoiler

Y'all are gross, OP. Gross.

 

[ebullientprism]

Threads like these are a constant reminder why you wouldn't want to go to a GAF meetup. :/

 

[RoadHazard]

Can we please get an explanation for the lack of showering? You stated you are trying to save water, but how can using wipes possibly be cheaper than a 5-minute shower every day? Is there an actual lack of water where you live? Is it rationed?

 

[gaiages]

Wow this thread had an awesome plot twist

10/10 would read again

Also OP why are you ignoring all the bathing questions? It's great that those sheets worked out but 'saving water' doesn't seem like a good excuse when there's so many better options than not bathing, like the navy shower example someone posted. It feels like there's a bigger issue here than sheets.

 

[anarckitty]

so what are the best sheets to keep you cool at night?

100% Supima or Pima Cotton. They're essentially the same thing. The thread count isn't the most important thing either. The weave is very important. If you'd like to stay cool I'd recommend a percale weave.

 

[JDSN]

Poor sheets are witnessing some of the grossest sex ever.

 

[daveo42]

Really OP? Really? I mean cotton sheets are pretty cheap as is.

 

[bud]

is cotton a premium fabric in the third world country that is america?

 

[Herbs]

is this a secret blame space

thread?

 

[andycapps]

is cotton a premium fabric in the third world country that is america?

Nah, it's the most basic of fabric for sheets. OP found some struggsheets that are even more basic.

 

[Serra]

OP proving the struggle is real.

Seriously, showering has to be cheaper than wet wipes.

 

[Darth Pinche]

The wet wipe thing only makes sense if the OP lives on a boat. And if he lives on a boat, he can afford real sheets.

 

[MC Safety]

Threads like these are a constant reminder why you wouldn't want to go to a GAF meetup. :/

And why you should ask yourself if this is sharing or oversharing.

Do they have them in black? I can't have white sheets because I don't bathe.

WHY? You do know water is insanely cheap right in most parts of the world while wet wipes will easily cost you more? Take a 5min shower. If you want to save money, take a cold shower or lower the temperature of your hot water heater. For the love of all that is good, take a shower and clean yourself.

 

[Johnlenham]

He just throws them out and buys new ones when they get dirty. Saving water

looool this got me good

JESUS CHRIST

wash more often you dirty motherfucker

do you have coworkers? it is a common decency to have good hygience as well as a benefit to your own personal health. you don't have to spend hours in the shower, just a quick wash and scrub. COME ON

 

[MadSol]

I love our flannel sheets helps being in a cooler climate, winter's coming baby time to wrap up.

If you can't have white sheets because you're staining them too much, then your bathing regimen is clearly not working.

Hell, I've skipped showers in the past, but I've never woken up to discoloured sheets.

 

[FStop7]

What the hell is with you smellies and your refusal to engage in basic human hygiene?

 

[Officer.Sanchez]

Perfect for the OP

 

[Simon Belmont]

OP please for the love of god explain to us the water/wet wipes economics.

 

[Arthr2ShdsJcksn]

Anything under 1000 thread count of Supima cotton will not touch my skin. I'd rather die, or rather, have one of my servants killed.

I go with Supima over Egyptian because I don't trust things that are foreign, except for my servants.

 

[JDSN]

Dude needs to go Beyond to clean his ass.

Please don't explain, OP, just go wash your stank ass.

Why do so many people on GAF refuse to bathe

This is really the question I have. What the fuck fellow humans....
