I have to admit. As a guy, I don't throw out my underwear until it is too loose or well, worn out to wear. I've never thought that it could be associated with personal hygiene. According to a new English survey, men tend to hang on them for an average of seven years!

Again, I don't know if I've kept underwear around for that long. According to one guy:

"I know I have tendency to have underwear that still has holes in it," When another gentleman was prompted as to why he doesn't chuck his old britches, he put it quite simply: "I think it's more of a pain to go and shop for them, unless they are shopped for for us."

The minute I arrive home, I'm going straight to the closet to clear out the old and get new ones. Time to pay attention to those David Beckham ads.
