I wonder how much she's being paid by Victoria's Secret.

Aren't you supposed to change it every day, and have a 1-week rotation, give or take? If you only wear each pair once a week, why would you have to throw it after 24 wearings, or less, even (if y ou have more than a week's stash)?

I wonder if the author has done the math.
yea that is crazy

I have about a 6 week rotation!

sounds like that lady has a personal health issue that she assumes all women have

She could just wear a lite thin sanitary pad and problem would be solved. No discharge left in the panties.

That's pretty funny. If the elastic still holds and no stains, keep on goin'.

"They" say that about bras too. Every 6 months or some crap. Meanwhile, my ten-year-old holsters are doing just fine. But that's paying $70 or so, per.

Mindless consumerism!

Can't rep again, so-- this. How many people have died from these invisible criminals? (Everybody raise your hand if you've ever had health issues from wearing years-old underwear that have been properly changed and washed.) LOL. (I mean, if a person has an infection, or a parasite, then yeah, undies should be well-laundered, but I hope they are anyway... I'm trying to remember if I've ever heard a person has to throw out their underwear after having a yeast/bacterial vaginal infection, or some sort of intestinal parasite... even if so, that's still a one-off thing, not a regular worry {hopefully}.)

Do you rewear jeans/sweats/shorts or whatever after wearing them all day with no underwear?
That's what I've never understood about the strict "regimental under a kilt!" crowd (besides the "you're allowing bare wool WHERE???" thing): as annoying and expensive as dry cleaning is (especially since with a kilt, you have to baste the pleats before cleaning, and then either press it yourself or possibly be charged by the pleat for pressing by the dry cleaner), and as expensive as kilts are... no way I'm getting that thing cleaned any more often than necessary.

Plus... it's organic and water-soluble. And if she has bacteria going on down there that she is that worried about, she probably needs to see a doctor about that.

I usually restock my husband's underwear every six months or so. He gets all manners of stains on the tee shirts and jockeys. Socks too. No amount of hot water and bleach will get them clean looking or white.

"Not all bacteria, pathogens and fibers can be removed during washing!" she explained in another text box.

By that standard, you should wear your underwear only once.

I'm the same way with all my other pieces of clothing. I don't spend much money on clothing at all, and I also still wear stuff I bought many years ago.

Hey Guy, why would you give enough credence to a Tik Tok dancer with an obviously fake name to even consider this a valid question, much less start a topic about it here?

Well, then you'd have to throw away your pants after 6 months. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
