1. as my Drill Sergeant at Basic Training used to say
"you can get 4 days out of a pair of underwear, if you turn them inside out!"

2. Only under two conditions.
#1) I'm out of clean underwear.
#2) I don't shower that day (which only happens once every 2 months or so)

Outerwear, on the other hand, is fair game for 2 or 3 uses unless I get it sweaty or visibly dirty.

3. Ick. No. No way.
I'm a little freaky about cleanliness in that manner.

4. I don't think girls really have that option
Speaking in general terms, of course... I often wear two pairs in a day, fwiw (or shoudl that be tmi?)

i blame my dirtbag friend...he's been staying at my house for a few days and i haven't seen him in a couple years...so some wild nights have been had, especially since i've had the last couple days off from work

hell i didn't even go to sleep last night - i'm already starting to get a little delirious from that

but at least i don't smell...THAT bad B-)

36. this slacker guy has to because I wear the same jeans all week...
I am not a "going commando" kind of slacker.

But to answer the OP, in the winter I sometimes don't bother to shower or change pants. If it helps, I don't stink (much), and I do shower when I do stink.

8. Only if I'm totally shit-faced and found myself somewhere without clean laundry
Of course I would turn them inside-out.

I don't think I've done that since college though

17. Exactly what is the purpose of turning them inside out?
I mean, if they're that dirty , yuck!

23. I have no idea - that's just what we did
I'm glad I nicked that drinking problem in the bud after I graduated college. But it also helped that I'd take an overnight bag and leave it in the car if I felt that perhaps I might not be coming home that night

19. I often change my underwear 2 or 3 times a day.
Depending on the situation, like after working out, etc.

I did wear my longjohns for 2 days in a row this week. But that was unusual.

Why do you ask?

21. Bored at work.
I'm reasonably sure this question hasn't been addressed here. So, why not?

I change my underwear every day, btw.

24. Sure thing...
Poop doesn't drip out of me and I don't piss on myself. My boxers have been on for a few days. Give me a second, I will get a second opinion.

***************

Yeah, they don't smell bad. My roommates agree.

26. I would...but my girlfriend would probably flip out
shes very clean and won't leave the house until shes had a shower. So I do her a favor and make sure she doesn't catch me with the same undies on two days in a row. Instead i just don't wash the laundry and rotate the dirty underwear every few days.

in the question that could be flawed :7

32. A funny story...
NBC reported during the Barcelona Olympics that the housekeeping team at the Olympic Village was completely unprepared for the flood of dirty undies coming from the American teams! In creating the laundry facilities, they hadn't planned for the fact that Americans tend to change their underwear daily, instead of the once or twice weekly that Europeans and others do. :wow:


Housekeeping was completely overwhelmed the entire games. :D

34. I have several high school girlfriends...
who married Germans, and their first big "talk" with their guys was, "Honey, aren't you going to change those?!?!" :D

From what I read, most of the rest of the world think we are a bit obssessed with hygiene.

38. I don't know if we're obsessed with hygiene; but I think we're too perfumed...
With a different scent for every personal product under the sun, it's no wonder people suffer from fragrance allergies.

The other thing I don't get is anti-perspirant. Deodorant is a wonderful invention; but why are we so freaked out about sweat?

39. Running out of underwear is no excuse! I have 2 weeks supply always
in my drawer. And if my undies show sign of wear or develop holes (I bleach and bleach causes holes and general disintegration of cotton)out they go and get replaced pronto. Oh, and I only buy cotton undies.

Except when I go to Europe. Travelling is a challenge so I get nylon (which I hate the feel of)because it is fast drying in the hotel bathroom. Also, cotton panties take up way too much room in your bag. Nylon scrunches down nice and little, especially the skimpier ones...
