Yeah, guys, that's right. As a journalist, look, I have to admit you go to some pretty confronting things. You hear of some horrible stories, But I have to say this topic is pretty up there after what we've discovered here in broad Beach this morning, some pretty concerning answers. All of this actually started a few months ago in France, of all places, where the government there was telling people that they could wear their active wear for up to three wears for a number of reasons. They say, firstly it's good for the environment because you're saving water, but they also said it's good for the longevity of the clothes.

She says, the majority of our active wear is made from synthetic materials and that is a huge breeding ground for bacteria, particularly in humid places like the Gold Coast where we are. This morning, So we did what we do best. We took to the streets and asked the all important question about how often people watch their active where. This is what the locals had to say. I can only wear it once. Yeah, I run pretty hot on a sweety miss when I train because I just like go hard. So yeah, one time or one time only. Well, hopefully no one's close enough to just mail me personally.

Yeah, so all that smell from the groin area is just like permeating across the How often do you watch your active wear daily? What are your thoughts on people who wear it a few times without watching running? Right now, we're really getting amongst it there. I do have to say respect to the people who were honest on live TV. One man did tell us that who wear the same outfit for up to a week and he was very sweaty. But also Brett's raised a good point earlier. If you're not washing it, where are you leaving it?
