Following on from the towel thread where some people wash their towels once a year Wink how often do you change your knickers?

Daily. At least.
I haven't seen the towel thread. Should I?

At least once a day. I would have said surely everyone does but having seen the other thread nothing would shock me!

CurlyhairedAssassin · 27/11/2011 09:03

I'm expecting to see a whole boring thread made up of "daily". Well, certAinly nothing LESS than daily.

cookingfat · 27/11/2011 09:04

At least once a day.

purepurple · 27/11/2011 09:04

Once a month. I just chuck them in with my towels, whether they need it or not. Grin

I change them every day. On the days I go to the gym I shower after and put a clean pair on

Andrewofgg · 27/11/2011 09:10

Does any member, male or female, of the MN tendency dare to admit to less?

Seona1973 · 27/11/2011 09:10

p.s. I have a clean bra daily too

bushymcbush · 27/11/2011 09:11

I change my knickers every day but I do have a confession ...

Today I am wearing the same tights as yesterday Blush

GobblersKnob · 27/11/2011 09:13

I just lick them clean at the end of a day and dry them on a bathtowel.

cantpooinpeace · 27/11/2011 09:14

Clean knicks once a day minimum. Don't do clean bra daily though - depends what's available :)

DingDongDialsMavislyOnHigh · 27/11/2011 09:16

Knickers daily, Bras less often Blush. 2 days tights is grim- I have really smelly feet, they always end up a bit vinegary by the end of the day...

DownbytheRiverside · 27/11/2011 09:17

We all wear clean underwear every day in this house.
So that's two men and two women; knickers, bras, socks and the occasional vest.
Also clean tops. Trousers may sometimes be worn for two days.
Why be scummy if you've got washing facilities?

troisgarcons · 27/11/2011 09:20

That would depend, if I were on "I'm a Celebrity" I might turn them inside out and wear them again on the grounds there are no washing machines. So there!

At least daily. Bra daily BUT I've only one black bra thats comfy so if I need it two days running, it doesnt bother me unduely. Rarely wear tights as I never wear skirts/dresses. Boot socks, daily.

there are some peculiar people out there!

Everything daily,could not bear the thought of putting on anything I wore before.

BeyondTheLimitsOfAcceptability · 27/11/2011 10:58

I have rarely worn knickers for over 24 hours (say for example, I'll have a shower early the one day, then later the next) But never as far as 48 hours, or probably not even 36 hours...

But I do wear pantyliners everyday Wink
Which I change a few times a day btw

BeyondTheLimitsOfAcceptability · 27/11/2011 11:00

I would never take off dirty knickers and put them back on though! Even at the gym or whatever Grin

PattySimcox · 27/11/2011 11:01

At least daily - unanimous thread surely?

Dirtydishesmakemesad · 27/11/2011 11:02

I wash them any time i take them off also i wash towels everytime i use them. I am odd about clothes and towels and bedsheets etc which is strange because the rest of my house doesnt follow the pattern of clean freakishness.

kreecherlivesupstairs · 27/11/2011 11:03

I had a friend who had day knickers, evening knickers and night time knickers.

pooka · 27/11/2011 11:04

Every day of course. Though maybe more if have period or go to gym.

tanfastic · 27/11/2011 11:05

I change mine once a day, sometimes twice, depends how sweaty I am
