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.

Sheesh.
133 6 ReplyIf you wash your belt you lose all your jiu-jitsu knowledge and have to start from white again. Everyone knows this.

...which is definitely not because I leave it on my pants and forget to take it off before I throw them in the laundry.

28 0 ReplyYou 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.
35 9 ReplyHere 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
26 0 ReplyAnd we wash our hands after touching our belts. Still, point taken.
25 0 ReplyMaybe 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.

4 0 Replygod damn... now I am acutely aware about how much I should wash my belt...
4 0 ReplyInteresting point. I have started not wearing belts, I just choose pants that fit and the shirt is big enough to cover the belt area so nobody notices. And then the belt doesn't get caught on the shirt... and it doesn't get icky. Win win!
