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.

Never thought of front back. Who uses the peekaboo flap anyway?
I guess that would qualify as brownside, yellowside. Or side # 1 or side #2.
Slow news day?
I’ve been wearing underwear for over 26,000 days.
By the way, you can make one clean pair last for 4 days.
Put on normally
Then backwards,
Then inside out frontwards
Then inside out backwards.
People are pigs
Sorry, I'm not buying new underwear every six months to a year.
Mine usually go five years or longer before they get blown out.
55% of Americans claim to have never had a great night out at a singles bar.
When I was in the military we would sometimes go on alert for up to a week out in the field with no showers available.
After the 3rd day we used to take off our underwear and turn it loose to run around playing with the other underwear. It was a great morale booster for all because it made the underwear happy and we got back somewhat air freshened skivvies.
What? You mean you’re supposed to change them???
SEMPER UBI SUB UBI
Two days doesn’t sound like a big deal to me.
Of course they do, they sell underwear.....LOL!
One of my FAVORITE Rodney Dangerfield jokes:
Rodney:”I went to my doctor last week and he tells me he needs to run some tests on me. He says he needs a blood sample, a stool sample and a urine sample......
So I gave him my underwear!!!!”
Skid marks on the front and back. No thanks!
Pretty sure no normal person would answer this idiotic survey without tossing in some BS.
Don’t worry. As of now, your Siri, Echo, and Alexia are going to be ratting you out.
This reminds me of an online survey asking people to name their choice for the gayest music video award.
Just one pair every six months lol
Isn’t that about the same percentage as there are Democrats in the country? Coincidence? Hmmm, I wonder.
yes... swap out your underwear every 6 months.
Is that 6 months of days worn? If you have 2 dozen pairs (and who doesn’t because other wise laundry every day) then that could be 20 years
I think I have underwear older than my children
One thing I’ve learned: If you get dark colors, then they last longer.
