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... Mr Mephisto |

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?! :-) Mr Mephisto |

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.

College students in dorms: As many as will fit Undershirts, underwear, and socks are the only things I don't recycle here at college. Laundry gets expensive!

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

Some friends of mine (both from Harvard, incidentally) - one changed his underwear every few months, the other once a week! Bearing in mind they were both heavy-duty sportsmen and trained in them too; you can imagine the smell in the changing rooms. Mmmmmm...

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.

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.
