Ha, know this one because n the Summer I took advantage of the lull to go to the local underwear shop and buy 3 packs of 6 Sloggi knickers. Threw the old ones away.

So 18 plus the one pair of black silk blush

6 sets of underwear, each with 2 prs pants plus 3 more pairs of pant just in case. Cannot bear clutter and if something isn't used regularly it goes out.

Where do you find space to keep all this underwear?

I only have 2 pairs of shoes - black pumps and red pumps. I am either in boots or sandals!
I think I have about 30 pairs of knickers - mostly black.

I recently bought 5 packs of 5 multi colours so at least 25 pairs.
Just take whatever is on the top of the pile so they all get worn in rotation.

Same with socks and shoes. I was amazed when a friend told me she only had 2 pairs of shoes.

I reckon I could go about 3 weeks with a clean pair each day before I have to repeat myself, as it were. A few different types but the beige flexifit ones from M&S are my favourites.

About 30 and the are all identical black waist high cotton.

I have around 30 pairs and about to get rid of half of them inc bras.
I do tend to wear the same ones so could easily get rid of them.

Out of interest, why have so many of the same?
Mine are mostly different and range from size 8 thongs to size 18. I’m a size 10 normally.
Bought the size 18s when I had hip replacement, much easier to get on.
So easy infact that I prefer them to ones my own size!

SEVENTY or 100?????

My god. I thought I had a lot. I have between 20 & 30 pairs.

Yes, FF, mine are all identical. Good old M&S, high leg, black.

I'm always clearing out but reckon I probably have around 100 pairs and they're mostly identical.

Had an on line conversation with a friend yesterday. She had just cleaned out her underwear draw. I did mine at the start of first lock down and had clear out.
I knew I still had quite a few pairs - assumed about 20. Just counted them and, including the pair I’m wearing and two in the washing, I have 70 pairs.
Yes, 70.
Funny thing is, I have my favorites so tend to consistently wear the same half a dozen!
