Here's me running ass naked after pooping to wash my hands before pulling up my pants
Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

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!
Do some squats my brother, everyone loves a good ass.
massive phone, wallet, keys, car keys, airpods, tape measure; all kinds of stuff on the pockets, need a belt to hold the pants up
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
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.
If you wash your belt you lose all your jiu-jitsu knowledge and have to start from white again. Everyone knows this.
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.
You never wash your belt? I bet you never wash the poop-knife either.
Sheesh.
It's fine, the poop-knife gets wiped off when I start cutting up my food
This will outlive us, no matter the platform.
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
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.
Leather cleaner/conditioner and a brush.
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.
I would like to travel about a minute back in time so I could undo reading this!
Last time I wore a belt was for a costume party like 10 years ago. Dresses and sweatpants don't thankfully need belts.
Every time I forgot to wash my hands my dad would hit me with his sticky belt. I miss them old days ...
The people that don’t wash their belts are probably also the people that never wash their winter coat regularly.
You're supposed to wash winter coats?! Next you are going to tell me that you have to wash blue jeans!
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.
I think it depends on the belt. Washing some types of belts would absolutely ruin them. But yes, people should absolutely be washing their winter coats!
Joke's on you, i never leave the toilet.
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.
I solved this problem by not wearing a belt!
(I dress like a slob.)
Urine makes the leather soft.
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.
