How many pairs of knickers do you own? Without looking, have a guess....

Just counted 63, mostly C&A, when I got stuck in Hospital for 5 weeks after my first knee replacement I went a bit mad on the knicker buying when I was set free.
When my DD does my washing for me I have noticed that more go upstairs than come down as she chucks out the worn out ones.

I rolled up all my knickers in the drawer a while ago but tired of the effort so now I just sling the clean ones on top. However this thread has shamed me so I am about to go upstairs and roll them up again and count them at the same time..........I will be back!! (I have already guessed at 30 pairs)

I probably have about 15 pairs: white, black, flesh colour.
Always folded in their colours, I couldn't bear a jumbled knickers drawer.

I estimate 30 -40 pairs, quite varied in colours although predominantly white - should do a clear out, 'cause some are more comfortable than others.

Lost count since I gave up buying matching Gossard bra and pants. Now its M&S white cotton that can go in the washing machine

I have 10 pairs. 3 flesh coloured,3 white and 4 dark/multi coloured. They are fairly new as I threw out the tatty load I had previously and bought this lot in September. I've thrown out loads of socks/tights too.

Lucca, I've been anything but a knickers "swot" for most of my adult life. (In my teenage years, my DM despaired of me ever keeping any clothes remotely tidy.)
It wasn't until I was in my late 60s that my knicker drawer was sorted out properly. A couple of years ago I watched Marie Kondo (online and on Netflix) and I decided to sort out my drawers! (Also sorted DH's underpants drawer - "boxers" - at the same time.) A revelation!

Loads of them which eventually end up as cleaning cloths as cotton.

I would guess at 70 to 80 pairs of nix. All M & S full briefs in multi colours, rotated in 3 piles so all get a turn to be worn. Once the material starts to get a bit rough out they go.

I’m going to have to go and check in minute. I’m guessing about 25. I like my bra and knickers to match so some that I bought with the bras, some black - usually high leg, some neutral for summer and light clothes and a few rogue pairs that came in a reduced pack. All M and S!

2 x black, 2 x white, 2 multi and 2 for decreasing bulge for special dresses.

At a guess, - 30 ish,. I'm gradually changing to Sloggi but they are expensive so it will take time.

It was a joke?

I would say at least 100 and not one of them from M&S.

I wear M&S no VPL I have 30 pairs in different shades white ,flesh peach , black, but after a few washes the white knickers go grey , so they get thrown out , which is a shame as there us usually a lot more wear in them , but I cannot bear grey undies, Unless of course I bought them as grey ,

Thank you for your replies and being in the spirit of the question.
I’ve now given myself a “ knicker challenge” whereby, for the next 10 days, I have to wear a pair I would normally have avoided, then throw them away.
Bet you wish your life was exciting as mine.

Guess 25? Strictly sloggi and all white bar one.

47

17-I only know because I just went through the drawers drawer and binned some just before Christmas so I had 14. Then saw 3 pairs I really liked. When I was a child I had pairs one on, one in the wash, one drying and 2 pairs of PE navy blues. We sometimes got knickers for Christmas, then it was out with the old and in with the new!

Only on gransnet could I learn how some people have enormous drawers! Mine's only small = 12
Deary me

what do you mean, enormous drawers ??
i thought we were discussing number, not dimension.

it would take me several days to round all mine up, and i don't want to. i like to think i have something put by.

What have I done wrong? I have 8 pairs of knickers.

Do I need more??

I pretty sure I have the oldest pants.
I have 2 pairs of sloggies one black, the other white with a reinforced tummy panel a bit like a girdle which I bought around 30 years ago. I wear them both a couple of days a year when I get my HRT implant inserted just to maintain pressure on the tiny incision. The white pair are still glowing white after all this time. ?

probably about 100, but not all in active service. some are on the retired list, can be called on if never get out to buy again. also several have never been used.
i have this with many clothes/ textiles; unless i use them quite soon after purchase, they go into a superior category and i don't like to disrupt their perfect state. which seems a bit self-defeating, but it's not a conscious choice. always been like this.

At a guess, about 60
