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.

I hate that I know this now.

You never wash your belt? I bet you never wash the poop-knife either.

Sheesh.

If you wash your belt you lose all your jiu-jitsu knowledge and have to start from white again. Everyone knows this.

Wash your hands in the bathroom, nobody bats an eye.

Scrub down your belt buckle in the sink and people lose their minds!

Here's me running ass naked after pooping to wash my hands before pulling up my pants

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.

Leather and steel are anti-microbial. If something does get on it, it won't survive for very long.

You guys aren't washing your belts?

Alright.

You guys wear belts?

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

And we wash our hands after touching our belts. Still, point taken.

You don't clean your belts? 🤢

You don't need to throw it in the washing machine to clean it. That's not the only way to wash clothing, guys. At least hit that shit with a spray on sanitizer like Lysol or something once in a while.

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.

I would like to travel about a minute back in time so I could undo reading this!

I wash my belts

Well, as far as I know it hasn't gotten me sick yet.

Thanks for the new fear, though 🙃

Urine makes the leather soft.

You gotta keep your belt clean.

You never know when it's going to be used for a naughty time

The people that don’t wash their belts are probably also the people that never wash their winter coat regularly.
