I have a theory that there are those of us who gets holes in our underwear and live with it and there are those of us who find holes and chuck them away and buy new immediately....

and I think this determines our personality and how we navigate life.

I am currently rotating through four sets of knickers all with massive holes where the elastic has come away from the fabric at the waistband. There will be a point where those pants are literally rags and I will rummage in the drawer and find replacements or buy new.

I have the money for new knickers. I have other knickers. And yet I keep washing these pants and putting them in the drawer and wearing them!!!

I buy 2 pairs of matching knickers when l buy a new bra. I supplement with others though and don’t always match, although l aspire to.

But mine are retired from active service before the hole stage. I’d feel so wrong getting dressed.

Forget getting run over, what if you get unexpectedly friendly with someone 😉?

Sainsburys do lovely knickers and last years!

By the time mine get holey, I'll have had them for years and I'd consider it more natural wastage than "a waste".

Indeed.

But seriously @dudsville - how do your pants stay up?!?
