All together my husband probably has about 30+ pairs. Although, he has outgrown them recently. So it's probably about 10-15 pairs of his current collection. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-49472 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 15:44:26 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 49472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HUNDREDS OF PAIRS!<br /> People might think I am crazy, but I only do laundry about 4 times a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-49296 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 11:24:04 +0000 .twist. 49296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A drawer full. When I find a pair of underwear I like, I buy all the pairs the store owns. Then I am of the opinion that no store will ever have a pair that I love as much as those ones and will keep them until they are... not even a little bit nice anymore. I JUST did a purge because DH made me because so many of some of my "favorites" had lots of holes. However, that made me go out and find my next favorite kind of underwear so now I have another huge stash! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-49216 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 09:53:05 +0000 daniellemybelle 49216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep saying I need to buy more so I can do less laundry! I have enough to last me about 2 weeks, so like 14 pairs that I actually want to wear? Then I have like 10 pairs that I got at my bachelorette party that are not, um, regular underwear. I know if those are my only options that I need to do laundry - they're not comfortable for sitting at a desk all day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-49134 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 03:39:22 +0000 looch 49134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do a big clean out of socks and underwear at least twice a year. I recently tossed a large portion of my underwear drawer, including the big granny panties I wore while pregnant. If I would estimate, I'd guess I have about 12 pairs in regular rotation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-49083 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 21:18:27 +0000 MrsH 49083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A huge drawer full- I think this may be a hint that I should scale down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-47291 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 14:03:22 +0000 katdevargas 47291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>right now, since my butt has grown with pregnancy, I have 7. that way I can do laundry once a week &amp; be gtg. pre-pregnancy I had a whole drawer full. I'm not sure how many, though. but I've put all pre pregnancy everything in the attic for now &amp; am going to be doing some serious purging when we bring all that back down, so who knows how many I will end up with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-47264 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 13:51:08 +0000 mrbee 47264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Because I don't understand why girls do most of what they do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-47261 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 13:49:59 +0000 chopsuey 47261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: because you don't like to change your underwear daily? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-47220 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 13:34:21 +0000 mrbee 47220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: I would be pretty bad at being a girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-47218 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 13:33:50 +0000 MamaMoose 47218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bree72: I'm so with you on this one! Putting on a fresh clean pair of undies really does make things much better.</p> <p>I could probably go about three weeks without running out but I have favorite pairs and we always do laundry once a week anyway so I have like 10 pairs that I really like and wear most frequently.</p> <p>Hubs has waaaaay more pairs. I buy him new ones and I try to get him to throw out his old ones but he won't do it. He's like an underwear hoarder. Although he also has hoarding tendencies in the rest of his life too... so I'm not surprised. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-47212 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 13:31:48 +0000 MamaMoose 47212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: If you had an understanding of the need for matching bras and panties I would worry about you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-47185 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 13:17:14 +0000 mrbee 47185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MH.Abroad: Four?!?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-47184 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 13:16:05 +0000 chopsuey 47184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't counted, but at least 30 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-47124 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 12:34:41 +0000 twinmama 47124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SO many. I don't fold, I lay them flat and just stack. If they won't fit in the drawer, I force myself to get rid of some. But the high quantity definitely arrived in college when we definitely ran to VS instead of doing laundry ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-47109 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 12:20:03 +0000 MH.Abroad 47109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, I have like... four.<br /> I REALLY need to buy some, I somehow lost a bunch in the last move. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-47030 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 11:12:25 +0000 bienlivingdesign 47030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tons. In my single days, I did laundry 1x/month, so I loaded up :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-47027 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 11:11:00 +0000 Rescuemom10 47027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I EACH have a drawer full! More than I want to count OR know! Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-47019 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 11:06:26 +0000 twodoghouse 47019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, apparently not enough because I need to do some laundry tonight. I'm sporting "I think I've had these since college, but at least they're clean" underwear this morning :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-46937 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 09:57:03 +0000 BananaPancakes 46937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>An embarrassing amount. My husband always laughs because I buy whole collections at a time from VS and they don't all fit in my drawer anymore. I don't know why I have such a huge stash, but I'm guessing it has to do with the fact that I would change my underwear every time I went to the bathroom if it wouldn't be such a bother to carry 20 pairs of panties around with me all the time. I just love having new underwear on. It makes everything right with the world. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-46795 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 23:39:08 +0000 tequiero21 46795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>fills up half the drawer? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-46781 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 23:14:27 +0000 cyndistar3 46781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually only have about 15 or so pairs. I probably could use more but I have a really hard time finding the right underwear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-46773 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 23:00:30 +0000 Rubies 46773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOTS! I can probably go three weeks without washing a pair. But I do have favourites and ones that I would rather do laundry than to wear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-46766 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 22:56:54 +0000 mrbee 46766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: I suspect this is one of those things that I will never understand. It's a long list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-46745 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 22:45:46 +0000 MsMini 46745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I just feel a lot better with pretty matching underwear and bras (it is an expensive habit, especially since I only fit into specialty bras). It feels wrong when I am not wearing matching sets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-46744 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 22:43:50 +0000 mynoahbear 46744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I both have our own drawer full each....probably enough to go a month without laundry. But I've been decluttering and the underwear drawers are next on my list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-46742 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 22:42:58 +0000 mrbee 46742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: How come? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-46740 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 22:41:32 +0000 MsMini 46740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I have a strict underwear must match bras rule, so I have 2 pairs of underwear for every bra. Unfortunately, due to pregnancy, I have had to move into new bras, so I am down to about a weeks worth, all my other pairs are packed up (the bras and underwear took up an entire under bed storage box - so that is my normal stash!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-46737 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 22:37:07 +0000 Kemma 46737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has more underwear than I do! He cleaned out his locker at work before Christmas and brought home seven pairs!!!! (DH is in the military so keeps spare clothes and sports gear at work for PT). I own about seven g strings / thongs and four or five pairs of "sensible" undies (also referred to as granny panties by DH!)</p> <p>I actually need to do a re-stock but underwear is surprisingly expensive in New Zealand! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-pairs-of-underwear-do-you-own#post-46719 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 22:20:12 +0000 heffalump 46719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots. Even though I don't need them, I'm doing laundry constantly. </p>
