AIBU to think 6 pairs of underpants in not sufficient?

[nick247]

I was visiting my parents and DF came out of shower complaining he had no clean underpants in drawer. He had to wait for the wash my DM was doing to finish, and them tumble dry the three pairs of underpants that were in there( among other things obviously). When I asked if they had had trouble with washing machine and had been unable to do washing DM said no. DF had three more pairs of pants in laundry basket which makes a total of 6. DM saw no problem in this - God knows what they do when they go on holiday for longer than a week. My DH ,DD and myself have at least 14 pairs each. My DPs are in their 70s, is this an age thing?

Think I have about 20 pants but don't count them - there always enough. 6 ismadness.

Don't you have different style/colour pants for different outfits or moods though? Or to go with other underwear? How odd to just have 6 pairs of pants.

I'm quite disappointeddistressed that no one has factored in bedtime knickers whilst divulging their knicker wearing regimes....what if there was a fire people??!! 😱😱😱😂

6 pairs is madness. We all have about 15 pairs. I also have naice pants. However I can't get past this

rarely wear knickers as find them extremely uncomfortable. (Don't wear skirts very often either as that necessitates knickers)

So you wear jeans/trousers and no knickers? What kind of weird ass underwear is more uncomfortable than the crotch of jeans?

""When I km'd my knickers I had 80 pairs. I'm probably down to around 40 now""

I was starting to think that I was the line KMer.

I've got around 15/18 daytime ones, because they come in packs of five. Then a few of Nude and Black VLP, a couple of hold-ins. So under 30, but all needed.

I tend to by bras with a bit of black on them, somewhere, so they go with black knickers.

Pregnant at the moment, so recently did a big knocker drawer clear out where I archived/binned knickers that wouldn't fit. I reckon I probably have 40+ pairs in there now. Maybe 20 full briefs and 20 non maternity knickers that will fit under the bump. I would like to match my bra and knickers, but that only tends to work if you're wearing a dress - so same top and bottom, or wearing jeans - can wear any colour texture underneath.

I Konmari'd my underwear when we moved last year but probably still have 20-30 pairs of pants. They're a mix of styles and almost all are black or 'black and something'. Most of my bras are also black so I don't have matching underwear angst. I have a couple of nude pairs to go with the 2 nude bras that I own and a couple of fancy La Perla bra and pant sets that don't get worn very often.

I think DP has about 20 pairs of boxers. Left to his own devices he would still have every pair he's bought in the last 20 years as he's allergic to throwing away old clothes but I purged his collection when we moved and bought him some nice new ones.

Don't get me started on socks though, I love socks and even after getting rid of loads of old pairs I still have far too many.

I've survived a two week hiking trip with three pairs. One on, one in the pack and one pair washed and pinned to the pack to dry. I've known people make do with two pairs but it's risky if the weather doesn't stay dry.
