Do you go through a mental checklist before walking out the door to make sure you don’t forget anything? There’s your keys, your wallet, your phone, and of course your spare underwear.
According to a survey, “nearly half of all Americans” carry BACKUP UNDERWEAR with them.
And the reasons why include: In case they “have an accident” . . . because they plan to change clothes during the day, like after going to the gym . . . or because they’re clumsy, and might spill something on themselves.
70% of people who carry spare underwear say they HAVE had it come in handy at least once.
And this is more common among the younger generations. 60% of Gen Z’ers and 57% of Millennials say they have “in-case-of-emergency” underwear.
One more thing: People who carry back-up underwear are more likely to replace their undergarments sooner. 82% of them say you should replace your underwear after two years. Among the people who DON’T carry spares, 83% say they’re keeping their underwear for at least three years.
