Because I wear suspenders…
You gotta keep your belt clean.
You never know when it’s going to be used for a naughty time
We’re talking about choking, right?
David Carradine over here.
… right?
I would like to travel about a minute back in time so I could undo reading this!
New fear unlocked O_O
Urine makes the leather soft.
(It really gets the hoes)
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.
Saddle soap for all leather belts and saddle soap then shoe grease for leather work belts/suspenders/boots.
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.

There’s not much of a risk of getting sick by your own germs, relatively speaking. I think the primary reason for washing your hands after using the restroom is that it’s gross and you want to get it off your hands before having contact with others. That, and you ought to wash your hands for health reasons at some point anyways, so you might as well do it then. So I guess unless you’re going to be touching your belt much throughout the day, it should be fine.
Just don’t touch anyone else’s belt.
Lots of food borne illnesses are spread through poop. I think it’s the most common form of food borne illnesses from restaurants, at least it was 8 years ago when I did a servsafe course.
Well, you wash your hands before cooking, so don’t touch your belt then either.
Also, thanks for the information. I didn’t consider that.
If you wash your belt you lose all your jiu-jitsu knowledge and have to start from white again. Everyone knows this.
Is that why no one at the gym will spar with me as a brown belt!?
Maybe if you’d put on something beyond the belt Mr “Sumo Jitsu”
I don’t know who started this idea but I want to find them and wrap their smelly ass belt around their face.
The sport is gross enough without people dragging their MRSA strips all over the mats.
Prestige mode. Excellent.
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.
Why can’t the TSA ever be there to remind me to remove my belt when I actually need them!?

It’s amazing how interchangeable “you’re supposed to” and “nobody actually does” are.
Vegans are exempt.
You guys wear belts?
You guys use toilets?
How do you hold up your trousers? Suspenders?
I have some clothes that fit well enough that I don’t need a belt in order for them to stay up. I do use a belt for some of my clothes though.
Suspenders are the superior method, yes.
Also stretchy waistbands don’t require either.
You guys wear trousers?
I feel like a belt ruins the appearance of many pants, sometimes you just don’t want a belt with your outfit. I like to focus of finding pants with a good fit, and take them to a tailor for some modifications if necessary.
It really depends on the outfit/aesthetic. Some outfits are very much ruined by a belt and others will look very “weird” if you aren’t wearing one.
Everyone’s different, but I find that cargo pants and shorts look very much “I used to wear my phone on my belt” if you wear a belt. But jeans, slacks, and outright suits look REALLY weird if you don’t have that bar of color dividing pants and shirt.
Although, if you are wearing a more “outdoorsy” outfit (e.g. you shop at REI) then I find the belt very much becomes essential for aesthetics again.
I buy my clothing at Goodwill because Walmart over charges.

Wow you don’t wash your belt, eeew
Give the belt a good ol’ wet wipe swipe
Interesting 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!
Great shower thought 🚿
That’s why I wear suspenders
Shit particle-covered suspenders.
Same concept applies, now you got shit particles running up your whole body. Wouldn’t suspenders touch the ground in the bathroom also… shudders
