NEW YORK CITY — A new survey found that 45% of Americans claim to have worn the same pair of underwear for two days or longer.
Underwear company Tommy John surveyed 1,000 men and women to determine how long they wear and keep their underwear.
Almost half of participants said they had worn the same pair for two days or more, while 13% said they had worn the same pair for a week or more.
85% of Americans don’t know how long they’ve owned their oldest pair of underwear, according to the survey.
The company states you should swap out your old underwear for a new pair every six months to a year. However, the study found that 46% of Americans have had the same pair of underwear for one year or longer.
The study added that, over time, underwear accumulates various types of problematic microorganisms and fungal germs that can increase your susceptibility to certain illnesses, like yeast infections and urinary tract infections, among others.
The study also states that men are 2.5 times as likely as women to wear their underwear for more than a week.

Ew
That’s disgusting.
Isn’t a survey by an underwear company about underwear kind of like a survey about Hillary Clinton by the DNC?
4 ways......inside / out / front / back
I believe this “survey” to be reflective of how lost our society really is. I cannot imagine answering the questions that provide the author of the survey the results.
They must not have surveyed the streets in San Francisco and Los Angeles.....
“had worn” as in ever. Doesn’t say they do that on a regular basis.
Someone was paid to do this survey?
Next, will there be expiration dates on underwear?
How many go commando?
Once you go Commando, there ain’t no going back.
However mens underwear has a shelf/usable life as long as a couple of strands are attached to the elastic waist band.
Morale was bad on the Italian Front and the SGT got up one day and said...
All right....today we a gonna changa de undawear...
Luigi Youa change with Mario, Marco you a change with etc etc etc
That’s what I was thinking.
Some folks just ‘go commando’.
Gonna have to check back for comments. LOL!
If you put the words “Hillary Clinton” and “underwear” in the same sentence, you should be banned, just on general principles....
Damn homeless ppl dragging up the aveage...
Only 2 days?
What a waste.
Does turning them inside out count?
Now we need a “born on” date for our pantaloons?
