DP has just text me saying he is putting the washing away and most of it is my knickers.

I wear 2-3 pairs per day and I don't think this is unusual or excessive...

Rarely wear knickers(do when on period obviously). Occasionally might wear a thong if doing a bit of dress up for dh. Stopped wearing them for years then got into the habit of wearing granny pants after dcs until my dh pointed out they were revolting. I feel much freerer without themWink

2 a day. One in the morning after my shower, and one complete change of clothes when I get home from work in the evening.

HeyYouJimmy · 12/08/2011 11:34

One pair a day, unless I've been out running/walking/cycling and would also wear a pair in bed with ye olde fanicus padicus stuck to them.

scottishmummy no, I just like the fresh feeling of lovely clean knickers that have been washed with lots of fabric softener.....

Ewwwww @ wearing the same knickers for 24 hours Hmm

piano10 · 12/08/2011 11:36

Two, mostly, but sometimes one if I dont go to the gym or for a swim and then change into clean ones after.
My Ex would wear his for two-3 days. . .disgusting ! . . . and as for the skid marks......eeewwwhhh. Shock

sunshinelifeisgood · 12/08/2011 11:37

one a day and certainly not in bed far to uncomfortable and like anyone else if I am going out then of course I change.

susiedaisy · 12/08/2011 11:37

Two pairs a day on average if been to gym maybe three.

usualsuspect · 12/08/2011 11:39

just the one pair

NewbeeMummy · 12/08/2011 11:40

I do 2 -3 pairs a day, 2 on a normal day, 3 if I've done any excercise.

So I think you're normal

MardyBra · 12/08/2011 11:40

Oh I love a good knicker thread. One a day is normal. Maybe two if going out or excessively hot. Never at night. Sometimes go commando round the house.

susiedaisy · 12/08/2011 11:41

Oh and I am another knicker at nightime wearer!

Iteotwawki · 12/08/2011 11:43

Are you not supposed to wear knickers in bed at night? When are we supposed to learn important rules like that?!

1 pair a day - which I used to sleep in (have now thrown them across the room into the laundry bin from the bed - husband thinks I have gone mad), shower & fresh pair on next morning.

Seriously - I wore pyjamas as a child, then long / knee length nightshirts. Nobody said I wasn't supposed to wear knickers - after all, pjs have bottoms!

QuinionsRainbow · 12/08/2011 11:46

First thing in the morning: get up, shower, clean knickers.
Last thing at night, knickers off, shower, into bed au naturelle.
Didn't think there was any other way!

Olifin · 12/08/2011 12:28

Tobylerone More like 14 hours for most of us, surely?

TobyLerone · 12/08/2011 12:30

People are saying they get up, put on clean knickers, wear them all day and all evening, then go to bed in the same ones.

Olifin · 12/08/2011 12:31

Iteotwawki Don't think there's an official ruling on pants in bed. I never have 'cause it feels odd to me...like wearing socks in bed. Bleeeuuurrrggghh. PJ bottoms are a bit different because they're usually baggier than pants I think.

Like other posters, I might get through 2 or 3 pairs if I've been exercising or am on the blob but usually one pair can get me through the day.

spiderpig8 · 12/08/2011 12:32

can somebody who is clever at this sort of thing see if teh OP has any posting history? Sounds to me like a pervert

Olifin · 12/08/2011 12:32

True Tobylerone. I don't think that's terribly unhygienic though. Slightly wiffy maybe. I'm more ewww at the thought of sleeping in knickers generally, whether they're fresh on or have been on all day. The latter would be worse though.

TobyLerone · 12/08/2011 12:34

Yep. I don't wear knickers in bed either. And pj bottoms are gross. Especially if you wear them for more than one night, as most people seem to do, without knickers.

plupervert · 12/08/2011 12:35

I'm just really impressed that your DH does the laundry... even though so much of it is yours! Wink

naught · 12/08/2011 12:37

One

ChumleeIsMyHomeboy · 12/08/2011 12:38

Just when you think you've seen all the weirdness MN has to offer here comes someone with a fresh knicker fetish. God I love it here!

passingtime · 12/08/2011 12:38
