So if I ‘Wear’ one of those umbrella hats with lots of points do I need to have tzitis on each end?

Someone should have invented the shtreimel or Black hat tzitis pack. This way you could wear them high on your head and not get into car or bathroom issues.

Why not a four cornered yarmulka while we’re at it?

PS – Bluetooth add on would be a nice accessory too.

- Thanks.

there is a point in changing your tzitzis every morning, in order to make the bracha for ‘putting on’ Tzitzis, though it could be the same 2 pairs switching every day.

I think I’ve washed my wool tzitzis 3 times in the year or 2 I’ve had them.

Lion,

Perftzit tend to take on more sweat, so they need to be changed very often. They also get dirty when I’m not wearing a shirt over them.

I haven’t worn wool tzitzis since my yeshiva days, I don’t remember how often I changed them, but it was less definitely less often than perfs.
