Tommy John wanted to know how many people change underwear every day. The results might surprise you
Jordan Culver, USA TODAYPublished 11:55 p.m. ET Aug. 15, 2019 | Updated 10:04 a.m. ET Aug. 16, 2019

A survey released by underwear company Tommy John suggests Americans might not be changing their underwear.

Or, at least, quite a few aren't bothering to put on a fresh pair every day.

Tommy John surveyed 1,000 Americans and discovered 45 percent wore the same pair of underwear for "two days or longer." The results of the survey were released this month on Tommy John's website.

Thirteen percent of those surveyed said they wore the same underwear for a week or more. Tommy John said men were 2.5 times more likely than women to wear the same underwear for a week or more.

In a separate survey of 1,000 people, 46 percent of those surveyed by Tommy John said they owned the same pair of underwear at least one year. An additional 38 percent said they had no idea how long they owned their oldest pair of underwear.

"It’s crucial to update your underwear wardrobe every six months to a year to ensure you’re protected from harmful infections and health risks," Tommy John said. "Women should be especially careful, as they’re more at risk than men to experience health issues due to unclean underwear."

The company even provided a few tips for keeping underwear clean:

Tumble dry your underwear on low heat for 30 minutes after washing.
Don’t mix your underwear in the same load with your significant other or children if they’re sick.
Avoid washing contaminated underwear with other pairs and clothing.
Wash your underwear separately from clothing containing other bodily fluids. If any article of clothing is stained, it’s better to wash it separately from your underwear.

I look upon the 45% with suspicion, the 13% with shock and dismay.

I'm not a fan of surveys

certainly hope this survey was skewed for the desired result - shocking

I can't stand when people don't take care of their knives. I took the brisket to my sister in law's house last night. I thought beforehand "I should bring my slicing knife", but thought that might be rude.

When it comes time to slice, she hands me a chef's knife and a honing steel with a "you're gonna need that" look in her eye. No, what I needed was an hour with my whetstones.

The steel did nothing. It was like trying to slice brisket with a butter knife.

C'mon, people, sharpen your damn knives!

Ha! I've been getting into old oilstones lately have had much better luck than water stones - spend as much time re-flattening(lapping) them as sharpening.Got two old stones friday at a garage sale very hard,probably fine maybe extra fine stones,have to clean them up and lap them with silicone grit or wet/dry 100 grit sand paper

It's interesting to look at an SEM of a dull knife.

I always take my own slicing knife when cutting BBQ away from my home. Roast slicers are cheap and easy to come by, but people that don't regularly cook brisket never have one.

There s a guy in town that does a great job sharpening blades around here. You wrap them, drop em at this lady's little boutique shop and he brings them back to your house in a couple days.

Quirky dude. He sets up shop at the farmers market too for people.

Yeah, sharp knives people.

I've got a guy who has a van with his equipment and will come to your home or place of business. He does a great job. I'll hone my knives regularly, but when it's time to sharpen, I let him do it.

I remember peeling an apple with my granddad's paring knife when I was about 11. I barely touched my thumb and was bleeding. I was amazed, my mom had dull knives, her dad didn't. Note to self.

He had a wheel out in the shop and used it. I was a large while wheel you turned by hand. Worked great.

I don't know if I mentioned by the Instapot ribs cooked very nicely. However, I bought them at Kroger "preseasoned" as neither of us liked the seasoning much. Duh.

Will definitely do again with my own dry rub preparation. Baby backs, I like the fall off the bone level, and they were. 35 minutes. I might dial back slightly.

That'd be a slap in the face to any one accomplished in the Culinary Arts.I know you'd prolly wait and see if they were having problems before you produced the Wilkenson Sword
