People in this thread, unironically:
bath towels: weekly bedding: every 2 or 3 weeks, depending on the season
Reverse this for me. I shower first thing in the morning every day and my bath towels are just drying clean skin. They only touch me for maybe a minute or two before being hung to dry.
However, I go to sleep at night, after a full day of developing natural body oils on my skin. And I lie in bed for 8+ hours at a time.
My bed sheets are far more gross after a week of use than my towel will get in a month, more or less a couple weeks.
Weekly, both. Mostly
Why would I change either?
I mean, I’m a hoopy frood, So I know where my towel is, and it’s full of all kinds of nutrients due to the competing microbes that compose its flora. You don’t just waste that kind of ecosystem by changing towels every decade.
And sheets? What about the memories? Every stain is a mark of something wonderful that happened. Except the ones that are marks of something horrific that happened. Or the ones that are just spilled beverages. But, you know, that’s still plenty of good memories you want washed down the drain, you animal you.
Best be careful when changing sheets anyway. It’d be a shame if your mattress wasn’t properly killed before being shipped from Sqornshellous Zeta and it went on a flollop rampage after being exposed to too much sunlight.

I guess you don’t know where your towel is.
Change to what? Money?
We usually change the bedding weekly, I.e. every Sunday and the towels usually as soon as they start to develop this old wet umbrella stench, which takes about 3-4 days.
Oh my god, that smell is mildew. If your towels are kept so humid that they’re mildewing the colliform bacteria in your bathroom is having an entire festival on there. Please, before you get a horrible infection, please start swapping them out more frequently. I’m begging you, rubbing that on even a small open wound could be legitimately life threatening (for example if you’re the lucky winner of E.Coli roulette, which is also absolutely growing on your towels).
Maybe they’ve been developing immunity…
Unfortunately the towels don’t dry very well on the towel rack. But don’t worry. We don’t use stinky towels. They get thrown on 90°C washing immediately 😅
I use a towel once before i wash it. I dry my bootyhole with it im not gonna reuse that and rub it on my face no matter how thoroughly ive scrubbed it. All you need is 7 cheap towels and do laundry once a week.
Bedding depends, but on average like every 2-3 weeks.

I momentarily misread that as “depression fart” and was expecting a different reason for changing sheets.
I just do it when I do laundry which is when I run out of shirts for work.
Somewhere between 2 and 6 weeks.
Towels - 3 days Sheets - every week
New towel every shower. Bed sheets about every other week
I’d also be interesting in knowing if people have in-unit laundry. Being in an apartment complex where there’s 3 washers for around 50 people, it’s not feasible to wash towels after every use. That also sounds very wasteful!
I shower every other day, and change the towels after a couple of weeks. The schedule is based on when they can get washed (laundry gets done every two weeks for clothes, and so it’s based on the availability of doing extra loads), or at the first sign of a smell or stain.
Bedding gets changed on a monthly basis for the same reasons, again, unless there’s a smell or stain.
