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

About 20 I guess, but I know one thing, some of them are past their best. I used to pick a pack up when I was shopping at my local supermarket, but I've been shopping on line since the first lock down, which means that even the newest ones are over a year old! as for the oldest I dread to think!

I have about 35 pairs, all sorts and colours, all cotton/polyester mix and now mostly washed so soft that they are like a second skin. Proper big-girl pants, none of your hi-leg or thong for me! My knicker drawer is organised into colours and all pants are rolled as you can get far more in than by folding.

About twenty. Mostly in black or "nude" colour, made by Sloggi. All worn in turn (depending on clothing colours) and all stored neatly in a drawer, in Marie-Kondo's recommended way.

I’m with you on sizing Stoker48

I guessed about 15. How wrong I was when I checked. At least 40 and another 15 ish from the fun past which I may as well throw out!

Less than 20 at a guess all white and all M&S.

I've so many the drawer is full. I dont know which to bin so I store the extras in a pretty carrier bag.

Got loads, because most of them are too small and I live in hope ;)

I am fascinated, why do people have so many pairs of pants, socks bras, etc and where do you keep them all?

Probably about 80 and 95% of those are m&s. The 3 for 2 offer is now 4 for 3 though and I wish they would change it back.

Maybe 20 I clear out regularly I’ve never bought ‘a set’
But now socks I do have dozens and dozens thigh length, knee length, ankle length, trainers, and trainer liners plus bamboo socks all colours I like my socks wear two pairs when it’s cold cold

Now there’s an idea GagaJo, thank you. I haven’t dyed anything in years but the thought of a batch of navy knicks may just get me going again.

I must have about 50-60 pairs. Mainly black or flesh coloured M&S.

I've got 7 black and 7 white/beige. Had a big clear out as we're moving. Only 7 bras. Enough for a fortnight away from a washing machine!

I accidentally washed a white bra in a navy blue wash and it came a lovely pale blue with white straps and trimmings.

About 30, but in 3 different sizes to suit how the dieting/healthy eating is going. I’m currently in the largest size (only got 7 of them!) and have just ordered some more as don’t think I’ll be going down a size too soon!

You could try dyeing them Tea3. I dyed bras and knicks purple a few years ago. The bras came out lovely shades of lilac and the knicks were a toning match.

About 30 I think. Had a clearout last summer then bought 2 packs of 5 on line. they were a bit scratchy around the leg so the unopened pack will be going to the charity shop when they reopen. Like others I keep wearing my favourite half dozen or so.

I had two Eureka! moments regarding knickers a few years ago. 1. A size larger were a lot more comfortable than my actual size. 2. Black is the best colour for regular wear as it doesn’t seem to stain like lighter coloured knickers - I realised this when I was putting away clean underwear in a hospital locker for my poor embarrassed MiL. I wish M&S sold pure cotton navy knicks, they seem stuck in a rut with only white and black.

12 all sets! Hate to be caught out with mismatch underwear!!!

No one sees my underwear if have anything to do with it.

Ah yes Peasblossom. I'd forgotten about the few silk and lace pairs.

I must have around 40 pairs. I do not like black, beige or white and like others, I have my favourites and only throw a pair out if a hole appears.

I am pleased to see this non-controversial subject. At the last count a few months ago the total was 52, including several black (rarely used), several gifts made of shiny material and a whole pack labelled 14 which were more like size 18.
Occasionally I manage to throw one or two.

About 30, mostly white Sainsbury midis though a few black ones.

I’m reminded of being in M&S behind a very well dressed lady who was buying black knickers, because ‘ you can wear them a few days longer’.

I would say about two dozen, possibly more.
