I just got out of the shower. Realized I have no clean underwear. My choices:
A.) Put on the old dirty pair of grundies.
B.) Go commando until I get a load of wash done.
I elected to go with “B.”
What sayeth thou?
Borrow some from the neighbors.
You know, if you turn your unders inside-out after wearing, you can get twice the wear out of each pair! :eek:
Last night, I decided that I didn’t need to do a load of whites just yet, since both spousal unit and I had sufficient unders for one more day. So it looks like I need to do a load today. I don’t do commando, since I’m all delicate and girly and crap like that. 
Oh but commandoette is just sooooo in this season
(Trust me, go to work with no knickers on. You’ll have a fun day!)
I always rinse out my undies, let them dry out overnight, and then put them in the laundry. If I run out, I can wear them again.
I’ve always heard that, but never could bring myself to do it, even when I was in the Army in the field w/out showers for weeks at a time. I figured my tuckus is already funky, might as well leave that funk right where it is.
Now you really should go commando once in awhile. As you go about your day, and you’re talking with someone, you can think to yourself “ha ha! I’m not wearing any underwear!”
I know it’s silly, but you gotta get your cheap thrills where you can.
Are you serious? You rinse them before putting them in the wash? I’ve washed socks by hand & hung 'em up to dry. But undies?
Old bachelor’s trick: Toss a not-all-that-gross pair or two in the dryer for 10 minutes. That at least gets the surface funk out, and that will do for a day.
I don’t do commando either, it just doesn’t feel right.
I have a few pairs of undies that I really don’t like to wear, either they don’t fit right, they ride up, or the elastic is a bit worn out - I usually never wear these unless I run out of good underwear. If I get to the point that I have to wear one of these uncomfortable pairs it is usually incentive enough for me to do some laundry before I have to wear another one of those undies.
Oh no! I’m going to have to wash those pants twice!
My college roommate had a pair of underwear she referred to oddly–I can’t remember if she called them by someone else’s name, or as April Fools Day underwear or what. Wearing them was a sign that she was about to run out of underwear and neede to do laundry. They got their name from an underwear exchange her freshman year(before we became roommies)–everyone put their name and size of underwear into a hat and picked out other people’s name to give them underwear. She thought it was silly, and didn’t much care for the pair she got-hence the silly name and the wearing them on laundry day or almost laundry day.
I can honestly say I’ve never named a pair of underwear. Guys are famous for getting sentimentally attached to our underwear and wearing them until there’s nothing left but a few shreds of fabric, but naming them? That’s just silly.
I remember laughing at my sister back in the 70’s when she had underwear with the days of the week stitched on them. Seriously, I thought it was so lame. You can only wear that pair on Tuesday??? If you wear them on Wednesday, does that mean you’re gross and never change your underwear?
I don’t think I’ve ever run out of clean undies in my life. I have at least 20 pairs.
Do you people only own seven pairs each, or have medical conditions where you have to change undies 4 times a day?
Or are you just lazy with laundry?
I recently found myself in that exact situation. It was the best option at the time. I was away and packed one pair too little.
What are you, some sort of laundry freak? 
I don’t think I have 20 pairs of undies. More like fifteen or so. Not sure. But yes, I can go two-three weeks without doing laundry. My pants, shirts, socks & towels will last. Grundies are what’s most likely to make me do laundry.
What’s the big deal going commando?
[Jeff Foxworthy] does this stink too much to wear one more time?, maybe i oughta’ put it in the dryer…men LOVE the dryer…warm=clean

My thoughts exactly.
I’ve often wondered why some of my clients (mostly older ladies) did this; must have been out of habit, as they were very well-to-do and wouldn’t ever have to worry about something like that. (Mostly b/c I made sure their laundry was done.)
If I run out of clean size 7s, I have a drawer of size 6s to fall back on as long as I don’t move around too much during the day or expect to be comfortable… That’ll get you doing the wash.
Next time, buy the 6 day underwear, which has 3 leg holes and therefore 3 crotches. Rotate 120 degrees for days 2 and 3, then turn inside out for days 4 through 6!
Ever since I started telecommuting from home nearly six months ago, I have stopped wearing underwear altogether. It started because I spent most of my time at home in loungewear - like nighties or boxers/PJ pants and a tank top. No need to wear underwear. Then I started to realize it was just more confortable that way. So whenever I would get dressed, I wouldn’t put them on. Not with shorts, jeans, sweatpants, nothing. Not only is it more comfortable, I’ve noticed I feel a lot cleaner down there, probably because there’s more airflow (therefore not so much dampness - I’m a girl, by the way…) It also helps with the volume of laundry. I love it!
