It's HOT out, duh it's August. So you have been sweating your a$$ off outside, or even when you meet friends out. When you finally go home you play the game "Can I go one more day without a shower?" (dudes, talking to you most, but EVERYONE does it lol)
If you go to bed in sweaty underwear that's gross, and your chafing will be crazy the next day. You need to wash yo A$$ because you're nasty.
What's the longest you've went with the same pair of underwear. I did a trip once to Vegas, no luggage, no hotel room, just money to gamble and eat, and go home. That trip was 2 days in the desert heat, no change of clothes, sweaty underwear and socks and I probably smelled like the undercarriage of a garbage truck. I didn't care. I was in Vegas living life.
But no showers and dirty underwear/sweaty underwear is gross for everyone. So how long should you go with the same pair of underwear on? These answers shouldn't shock some, but others fell like it's normal...so it may need to be said again. (you nasty....but we've all been there.)
Here are a few general guidelines:
- Daily change: 1 pair per day is the norm.
- After workouts or sweating: change immediately.
- Sleeping: some people go without underwear at night for comfort or skin health.
- Extended wear (not recommended): Going more than a day without changing increases the risk of odor, irritation, and infections.
Don't go through your day stinking or being unhealthy. You could always hit a Walmart, or Target and just buy a new pack and let the old dirty underwear walk itself to the laundry, even though we know they did all they could and should actually walk to the trash.
Most of all, just wash your sweaty a$$ and don't be nasty. Nobody likes your smell more then you do. Change your underwear and be normal at least for once.
