A couple plans an overnight trip, and will be gone two days. In order to travel light, they decide not to pack underwear. They will just wear each other’s dirty undies the second day. What do you think of this idea?
I don’t see why wearing someone else’s dirty undies is better than wearing your own for an extra day.
A second pair of shreddies isn’t going to weigh anything worth worrying about, and can be stuffed in a pocket easily enough.

Crazy - underwear is the least bulkiest item you have.
Whatever floats their boat, I guess. (I chose other.)
You can always find underwear in a dumpster.
So, on the second day the guy will be wearing the bra and panties?
I voted “other” because there wasn’t a choice for “what the hell?”
Hey, if you and your partner want to swap underwear, I’m not judging you. Whatever works for the two of you. But I don’t see how anyone can see this as a hygiene plan.
Pack some underwear for the trip. Go out and buy new underwear each day and throw out the old underwear. Wash your underwear in the sink each night. Wear your dirty underwear a couple days in a row. Don’t wear any underwear. Any of these would be more hygienic than wearing somebody else’s used underwear.
The couple should have no problem because one pair of underwear should last at least 4 days with the option mentioned to extend that period.
Day 1. Put on underwear
Day 2. Turn underwear around 180 degrees
Day 3. Turn underwear inside out
Day 4. Repeat day 2
Day 5. Switch underwear with a trusted friend (may extend usage another 4 days until you find another trusted friend).
So, with enough friends, you may never have to buy or even wash underwear again!
Wearing the same underwear for two days is not a health hazard, and won’t even smell if they’re people who don’t sweat much for the activities they’ll be doing. Swapping underwear in lieu of changing to clean is simply baffling, unless they specifically like wearing underwear used by the other party …
What’s your game here OP? This reads like the PG 13 version of some of the “feed my sexual fantasies”-threads weirdo’s have started here.
This idea tells me that you are still single.
Went with “Other” since nonsensical wasn’t an option. While gross, the “ew” factor didn’t even register through the “What the hell, but that makes no sense” portion of the theory.
Really. If one must travel with a single pair of undies, wear a pantyliner (even men), and hand wash the undies at night.
Yeah, I don’t understand why you would wear each other’s underwear the 2nd day instead of just wearing your own again.
I chose “Other” because there was no “what the hell is wrong with these hypothetical people?” option.
Underwear is the least bulky item you pack. Also, swapping undies is gross. E. coli is in dirty undies. I don’t want someone else’s *E. coli *by my skin. No.
Just wear swim trunks. They’re underwear and outerwear.
Another idea; wear a second pair of underwear over the first pair. That way you avoid having to pack more underwear (although, as said, it’s not very bulky) and can wear a basically clean pair the second day. Or just buy a pair of underwear designed to dry quickly and rinse it out in the hotel room sink each night.
Ew. Undies and socks need at least one clean pair a day. More if possible - there’s few things as cosily satisfying as coming home from work and slipping into clean undies and socks.
Like everyone else, I have to agree that underwear is the LEAST of the problem when it comes to packing light.
For many years, I kept a full set of underwear (briefs, undershirt, and socks) in the flat pocket of my laptop case. That means I would have it at my office desk every single day. I also kept a toothbrush and one day’s worth of my prescription medicines in the same pocket.
In my experience, I could always count on being able to make my clothes look decent as long as I had access to an iron in a hotel room. I didn’t often have to take advantage of having these items, but it sure helped me out a couple times when I had to hit the road unexpectedly.
TL;DR: Packing light is better if you just pack underwear.
I voted other, no f’en way. I would go commando before wearing mine or someone elses dirty underwear.
First question: What kind of shit-for-brains fool thinks leaving out underwear has any practical value for packing light?
Second question: WHAT. THE. HELL. FOR? This goes beyond shit-for brains in its stupidity, even for the 3% of couples where the other’s underwear would even fit them.
I think it sucks donkey dongs on multiple levels.
Wassamatta you, boy?
ETA: I didn’t vote because the poll didn’t offer “You gotta be shittin’ me!”
