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.

It is obvious to me that the Congress should address this issue immediately.
We must do something!
The easiest remedy is to outlaw Underwear. This problem would disappear overnight.
Agreed!
And those of us in the forefront, so to speak, should receive at least a tax break, if not a stipend, for boldly (and at times coldly) pointing the way!
You are also lessening the impact of Glo-ball Warming.
Blue-ball in the winter can be a bit of a problem though.
