I buy new ones all the time and throw them away when they get a hole in them. But then I’m not a guy, so maybe my standards are higher (and my underwear is inexplicably more expensive).
I usually get a pack of like “work uniform” underwear that I go through once a year or so? And then my weekend/out of work wear stays good for longer. I add to the collection and remove from it as needed.
When they ask to leave.
You replace underwear? What do you replace it with?
I’m confused: What should I replace them with?
@phendrick Sand paper.
@yakkoTDI That does not sound very Charmin(g). Mr. Whipple would be aghast.
@phendrick Ah yes, Mr. Whipple also known as Mr. President down at the local BDSM club.
@yakkoTDI ??
What is this a reference to?
My undies could go to the Vatican they are so holy.
Perhaps once a lifetime; I shop on Meh.
I usually stop using a given pair of boxers when the seams have worn out to the point that it becomes a skirt. Usually.
When I can no longer fit in them. Unfortunately, I had to replace a large number two years ago.
@hchavers Strange how clothing shrunk so much during lockdown, eh?
@hchavers Yeah, a large number two will do that.
On a case by case basis based on wear and tear. Generally keep about 14-20 in rotation at a time.
When I forgot to pack them on a trip.
@Salanth I always pack like I’m going to have explosive diarrhea every single day. 4 day trip? Better pack 12 pair of underwear and 9 pairs of pants!
When the waistband fails to hold them up anymore.
Now that I started wearing underwear in colors rather than white, I don’t have to replace them at all.

When they on sale
Not that often. I have around 20 pair or so and purchased a good quality brand. They seem to age well.
