Research indicates that many men don’t wash their underwear as often as they should. While a man might claim he changes his boxers daily, studies suggest otherwise.

 

A poll conducted by Hammonds, a British furniture company, found that one in four men only washes their underwear after wearing it five times. Additionally, a study by Mintel revealed that one in five men does not change their underpants regularly. Marks & Spencer’s research showed that over a third of men change their underwear every two to three days. Furthermore, a survey by Clorox found that one in eight men wears their underwear twice or even three times.

 

It’s important to note that “dirty” clothing can harbor bacteria from sweat, body oils, and dead skin cells, even if they appear clean.

 

How Often Should Men Wear Clean Underwear?

 

• Men should wash their underwear after each daily use.

• It should be washed after exercising.

• Fresh underwear is recommended before attending social gatherings.

• Clean underwear should be worn after showering, especially in the morning or at the end of the day.

 

Men should also consider purchasing new underwear at least once a month to avoid wearing the same few pairs repeatedly.
