How many pairs of underwear should the average person have?

Currently I have over a weeks worth of boxers. I'm moving out of my parent's house soon and plan on getting more. So I was curious how many do you own? What's a safe number to have?

I don't think it really matters...As long as you always have a clean pair to put on.

I only have 5 boxer shorts, I just make sure that i always have atleast 2 or 3 clean...I always wash my boxers, socks and towels more than my pants & shirts. I can wear my clothes more than once...But I won't wear boxers more than once or socks.

You've got to be kidding?!

You're asking on the internet how much underwear you should have?!


MUUHHHAHAAAAHAHAAA

Now that I've got that out of the way, I would say at least two weeks worth. 15 to 20 pairs I would say.

Less if you're single or don't expect to score often and don't care wearing raggedy old pairs...

Sounds expensive.

Haha...

No, not exactly.

What I meant was that when I was going out clubbing and dancing, picking up chicks etc, I would more often change my clothes more than once a day.

So, you could easily go out 4 or 5 times a week. That means at least 10 pairs if you just want to stay clean. You're not going to put on the same jocks after a shower, are you?!

I have about 10-15 lying around in the drawer. I just wear the first one I can get my hand on (which would be the last one I put in there), so I havent had to dig too deep into my reserves. I'm sure that some of them in the back are not in very good condition.

If they start to get raggady, I will throw them in the garbage. I don't know what the price of boxers are where you live...But here, They are damn expensive....For a pair of boxers. I still buy them...But i am not gonna go out and stock up on them.

Take the maximum number of uses you get out of your jeans, have a clean pair of boxers for each use of a pair of pants.

What Jaseca said
I think I'm somewhat typical of lazy college students: I buy clothes according to what is currently restricting my time between laundry runs. I wear shorts and jeans many times between washes, shirts 2 or 3 times, and undies and socks once or twice. I therefore have 4 or 5 pairs of shorts, the same of jeans, about 15 shirts, and 32 pairs of boxers, so I only need to do the laundry every 4 weeks

Thanks everyone for your responses. Once I move into my place I'm going to go buy more boxers!

You can never have enough underwear.

Between Work, Going Out & Working Out
you change often.

At least enough to change daily, but I'd say you'll be good with at least 15 if not more.

Add up the number of days between doing laundry.
Add 1.
If you have to leave your place of residence in order to do laundry, add 5 more, just in case.
There you have it.
(Or 20 - whichever is higher.)

it depends on how big you like the dirty clothes pile to be. If your going to be living in a dorm or someplace where the pile can only get so big before it won't fit in the washing machine, then you don't need as many. If you have a super duper sized washer, get more... you'll need them.

Exactly. I have about 20 pairs myself. And a few "new" ones that I happened opened or used yet. Same with socks really.

I'd say anywhere on 10-20 pairs would be sufficient. If you wear dirty drawls you either don't wash your clothes enough or don't have enough of 'em. Good luck with the underwear adventure.

IC3's right, boxers can get expensive, but a few months ago I came across a bin of boxers marked down to $1.99 from $12.99 at some store. So I spent about 20 bucks grabbing every large pair I could find. I've got about 12-15 pairs right now, but since I do laundry pretty much weekly, I've got more than enough.

I started college with 7. Ended up doing laundry every week. Not fun.

Everytime I found myself at a store with boxers, I bought some to reduce my laundry frequency. I now have approx. 30 pairs of boxers.
