Research has shown men do not wash their underwear often.
If you ask any man how often he washes his underwear, he might say every day, but that’s not true.
In a poll by the British furniture business Hammonds, which examined the laundry habits of 2,000 people, one out of four men admitted to only washing their underwear after wearing it five times.
One in every five men does not change their underpants regularly according to market research firm, Mintel.
Another study by UK store Marks & Spencer revealed that over a third of men only change their underwear every two to three days.
Last but not least, according to a survey conducted by American bleach maker Clorox, one in eight men wear their underwear twice or even three times.
The definition of “dirty” clothes is the idea that even if your clothing appears to be clean hidden bacteria from sweat, body oils, discharges and dead skin cells may be growing there.
