Do I need to change my pants?

I just saw the Innersey pants mentioned in a mumsnet daily email. This got me thinking, I switched to the brand during lockdown. So these pants must be almost 5 years old. 🫣
I haven't had new pants for at least 3 years, when I treated myself to a different colour pack, and the OG lockdown ones are still going strong.
AIBU for wearing pants that old? 🫢

YABU = That's a horrendous admission. Throw them immediately and let's never mention it again. You're an absolute skank. 🥴

YANBU = They still look good, they cover everything, they wash well, you're saving the planet. 🤗

I'm fully prepared to be influenced by you all.

What?

Firstly I agree with pp - why are you asking the whole wide world about this?

And secondly, obviously it's completely fine to keep using garments that are in perfectly good condition.

Why are you asking a bunch of strangers if you should buy new underwear????

As long as they are still doing the job I’d keep them. Would you recommend them anyway? I bought some on Amazon and they got lost in transit. Got a refund but haven’t reordered.

I have many pants that are older and in excellent condition. Why would you throw away something that is in good condition and functioning well.

Eh? Why would you chuck out something that’s still fine??

I think you need to get out more.

If they're still going great guns I'd keep them! Might wear fancier ones if I was doing anything high-risk that might involve my jeans being cut off me in A&E to be honest (motorbike racing, hang gliding etc). But if you're just going about your daily business and they're clean and fresh I see no problem with the OG pants!
