Here's me running ass naked after pooping to wash my hands before pulling up my pants
I do that too. That is the most annoying point for using public restrooms
That's the spirit

Came into this thread wondering "who the hell wears belts?". Then saw everyone in here was taking belt wearage as a given. Then looked over at my husband and saw he's wearing a belt.
TIL, all men apparently wear belts and I just never noticed before.
Men's pants can be a lot more loose around the waist and we typically have no butt to hold things up.
It's to leave space for full pockets
You know, in my jealousy about the capacious pockets in men's pants, I never thought about how they must weigh the pants down when they're full of keys and wallet and phone and tampons and condoms and stuff. No wonder y'all need belts!
Yarp. I have a pair of shorts I wear around the house, no belt no problem. The moment I put anything in a pocket, though? They'll be 'round my knees if I don't watch out!

You have probably noticed but never appreciated that men don't usually have big hips to keep our pants up (or more specifically our waists and hips tend to be very close to the same size). Some men do, but even well fitting pants slide down on me without a belt. My wife is always amazed when we take our measurements and the hip to waist ratio is so wildly different. She's like "I knew women's hips were bigger but Jesus Christ".
I mean I'm trans and even though I have massive hips to keep my pants on, wearing a belt still helps me pass better since they're so ubiquitous

Maybe I'm a weirdo, but my belts are leather and I wipe them down with sanitizing wipes when I get home and take them off, for this exact reason.
That poor leather!

You guys aren't washing your belts?
Alright.
I’ve never even thought about it. I use leather belts and I throw them out after they wear out.
You can’t exactly toss them in the machine.
Now, the belts I’ve had over the years that were made from cloth went in the laundry with everything else.
I don’t know why I never thought about this.
Leather ones you can wipe down with a rag and water. Canvas ones just go in the wash and you can air dry.

I wash my belts
how do you wash your belts?
When i forget to take them off my pants mostly. I don't wear like nice leather belts though I just throw them in and let them clank around
Lmao this is gold. You gave me a nice chuckle. Thank you
In the washing machine. Then, I throw them out because they are ruined and buy some more.
I don't actually do this, but I imagine that's what the response will be.

If you wash your belt you lose all your jiu-jitsu knowledge and have to start from white again. Everyone knows this.
Is that why no one at the gym will spar with me as a brown belt!?

Well, as far as I know it hasn't gotten me sick yet.
Thanks for the new fear, though 🙃
Lick it and report back in few days.

You never wash your belt? I bet you never wash the poop-knife either.
Sheesh.
Some things probably should stay on Reddit. Like poop-knives.

It's fine, the poop-knife gets wiped off when I start cutting up my food

Last time I wore a belt was for a costume party like 10 years ago. Dresses and sweatpants don't thankfully need belts.
I would like to travel about a minute back in time so I could undo reading this!

And we wash our hands after touching our belts. Still, point taken.
Yeah I'm having a hard time understanding this entire thread. Like... Is everyone here completely baked?
We touch our belts and then we wash our hands. Just like we touch our dicks AND THEN WE WASH OUR HANDS.
y'all are acting like I should be washing my dick too.

The people that don’t wash their belts are probably also the people that never wash their winter coat regularly.
I wash my coat from time to time because I consider and have considered it to be part of my wardrobe. For my belt, I suppose I kinda just considered it as an accessory and it never occurred to me to clean it.
You're supposed to wash winter coats?! Next you are going to tell me that you have to wash blue jeans!

Here is another shower thought. You touch things other ppl who don't wash their hands touch all the time... That is worse in my opinion. Because you can wash your hands before touching anything else (belt included) it isn't as easy to wash your hands everytime on the go. Corona made me very aware of this

I solved this problem by not wearing a belt!
(I dress like a slob.)
You guys don't take off your pants, even at home?
Jokes on you, I wash my belt all the time!
...which is definitely not because I leave it on my pants and forget to take it off before I throw them in the laundry.
