Nearly half of Americans don’t change underwear daily, new survey says

Nearly half of Americans have worn the same pair of underwear for two or more days, according to a survey by apparel maker Tommy John.

Well, it's not like it's a habit. On occasion....camping and such, long road trips, things like that.

Out of 1,000 people responding to an informal poll conducted by the underwear maker, 45% admitted they had worn the same pair of undies for two or more days, with 13% saying they had worn the same pair for a week or more, Tommy John said

Don't think I've ever been there.

men were 2.5 times as likely as women to wear unwashed undies for a week or more.

I would say I'm not surprised but then how do you get 2 1/2 times from zero. There can't be any women that admit to wearing the same thing for a week or more.

The Tommy John survey also covered underwear replacement and found that 46% of respondents don’t follow the pervasive wisdom that recommends swapping out old for new every six months to a year. Not only that, but 38% of respondents did not know how long they’d had their underwear. Men and women scored equally on this one, Tommy John said.

I count the holes. Once they hit 10-15, it's time to replace.

Oh geez

I don't ever change my underwear, because I don't have any. So far, no one seems to have noticed.

Had to go a few days once nearly 30 years ago when the airline lost my luggage. They had trouble catching up to me because just after my arrival we learned that my father had suddenly died. So I was driving all over the northeast to be with the rest of my family, deal with the arrangements, and then attend the funeral. Underwear that was other than fresh wasn’t terribly high on my priority list at the time. —Bob

Yuck. Luckily I've kept a large stock of Underoos so changing daily is not a problem...although a few have faded so badly that you can't tell The Incredible Hulk from My Little Pony.

And I've had to toss a couple pair that had so many holes they looked like they'd been hit by Iron Man's repulsor rays.

A good superhero always wears clean underwear.

There's a joke that you can script any way you want for any traditional rivalry:

A Georgia Tech fan and a Georgia fan are out shopping when they see a store advertising a big sale on men's underwear. The Tech man says to the clerk: "I'll take seven pair: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday ..." The Georgia man says: "I'll take 12 pair: January, February, March ..."

You can always go the astronaut route.

"The Orlando police allege that Nowak drove 950 miles from Houston
to Orlando wearing adult diapers used in space"

Then you have to change even less frequently.

Well, Bob's story kind of does. Georgia dude for sure.

Last fall when I moved my youngest daughter into Ole Miss for the final time, I found I forgot to pack underwear. Not sure how that happened, but I did go to TJ Maxx and bought a cheap 3-pack.

I'm guessing nobody would want to be around me after I've been off work for a few days. It's all good...
