What do you do with your sweaty workout clothes afterwards?

This. I can’t believe people put wet clothes in a plastic bag so they’ll get nice and mildewed.

Then I put them in a hamper once dry.

Then I do laundry when there's sufficient quantity to do a load.

I couldn't imagine regularly washing one workout outfit at a time, and not a full load - that seems profoundly wasteful.

Somehow I doubt that. Or your sense of smell is way off.

I throw mine on the tiled floor of my bathroom until I take them (within a day or two) to the washer.

I have a awful 90s bathroom with a tiled tub monstrosity. I drape them over the tile until they're dry. My bathtub is too big to take a bath easily in though. I go to the kid's bathroom if I want a nice bath.

They go right in to the washing machine as soon as I take them off.

Yes, this. Don’t make it complicated.

We installed a pull-out clothes drying rack over our bath tub. It is awesome for stuff like this, swimsuits, etc (in addition to drying delicate laundry).

+3. I hang them up in bathroom or laundry room til they're dry, then wash them whenever I do the next load. I don't want them damp in the hamper with my other clothes, especially not nicer things.

I've always just let my drenched workout clothes (due to the humidity) sit in the bathtub to dry off during the day. But in the past month or so, I've started taking cold baths after my runs which I've heard is better for recovery but I don't know where to put my sweaty workout clothes.

What do you all do with your dripping wet workout clothes? I don't like putting them in the hamper right away because it stinks up real bad and stays damp.

Show me a better way DCUM!

While you take your bath, let them hang over the shower wall or rod (or even on the floor). When you are done with your bath, hang them over the side of the tub like you normally do. Not a major change in routine.

Rinsing them in the tub is actually a good idea (I do this with bike shorts in the shower), if you have the energy to add another step.

I have a mesh trash can in our bathroom that serves as a hamper for our sweaty workout gear. Even after it is dry, I don't want it in the regular hamper. I also do a load of tech/gym clothes more often, at least once a week, than other clothes, so that makes it easier to grab them when necessary.

I assure you, your clothed are rank and you are "that person."
