    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.

      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.
