Thanks for the dose of common sense. One other thing to consider here people; the dreaded bacteria some of you are so worried about have to come from somewhere... yourself. It's not like some phantom bugs spontaneously generate out of thin air. The bacteria came from you, and when you put on the clothing item later that same day, you're just putting the bacteria back where they came from (if there are any still alive). The stink from worn clothing is from dead, decomposing bacteria.
I wear home what I wore in, with fresh stuff each day. I don't recommend going multiple days on the same shorts, but, to each their own.
