Really Great Money-Saving Tip: Stop Wearing Underwear
Author: Nick

Topics: frugality
We’ve all considered it at one point or another in our lives. Maybe you’ve even tried it out for a day when you forgot to do the laundry. Today I hope to show you all how much money you can save by never wearing underwear again.
Let’s start by figuring out how much you’ll spend on underwear in the next ten years. Assume you buy five new pairs of underwear each year, and that each pair costs five dollars. You might think that your total cost of underwear is just $25 per year and your underwear budget for the next ten years will be just $250. That’s a small price to pay to have some cotton wrapped around your special places, right?
WRONG! You’re forgetting the high hidden costs of underwear. Once you tack on the cost of washing your underwear, storing your underwear, going to the store and buying your underwear, money wasted on underwear that doesn’t fit you, and the ever-growing costs associated with underwear theft insurance, we’re talking tons of cash!
But the soaring price of underwear doesn’t stop there! Also consider the amount of time you spend both putting on and taking off underwear, the time it takes you to walk to your underwear drawer each morning, the time you spend coordinating your underwear with the rest of your clothes, and the time it takes you to sort the underwear in your laundry. On average, underwear-associated activities could take up as much as seven months or even two years of your life!
I know, you’re probably thinking that you can’t live without underwear. It’s aerodynamic, it’s always there to support you, it helps protect your special areas from frostbite, and it even comes in delightful shapes and colors. But even with all those fancy designs and advanced cotton technologies, very few people will ever see you in them! So save that underwear money for a nice suit or dress… or maybe even something a little bigger!
Just how much money can you save by going cold turkey on underwear? About $380,000! That’s enough to buy a house, seven speedboats, or 325,000 mylar balloons! But don’t take my word for it; this detailed graph will show you just how much an underwear-free life could mean to your wallet:
So join the growing legion of people worldwide who are “going commando” and say NO to the high cost of underwear!

Headed overseas in 1975. Warship climate is hot, humid, uncomfortable when the tropics are reached. Learned quickly that an underwearless lifestyle kept one a wee bit cooler and helped prevent rashes while the never-ending sweat coursed down our young lithe bodies.
Returning to the “real world” found no need to to return to underwear. Why? There’s outterwear to sate those uncomfortable at the sight of naked flesh.
And, as mentioned in the article, there IS a time and cost saving benefit. Can’t omit another benefit; the feeling of freedom as Phred and his two buddies swing to-and-fro, unhindered in their motions. Freedom!!!! Sweet freedom.
Think about it. The masses naysaying those freeing themselves from man-made groinal reataint. Those lambasting that freedom are the kinky ones, obviously into bondage and, when at home, are likely walking around with riding crops while wearing tight corsets, stilletto heel boots and smoking a cigarette while talking in a faux German accent.

I haven’t worn underwear since I was 12 or 13. I don’t even own any. It’s so much more comfortable, especially in hot weather. I work in a warehouse where it gets to be well over 100 degrees almost everyday from May through October. I don’t understand why people think it’s so gross. It keeps you cooler so you sweat less. I know how to wipe my a** so I don’t get skidmarks. I’m circumcised, I know how to drain it and shake it after pi****g so everything’s clean n dry. Maybe if you’re fat and your crack shows all the time it’s nasty but for those of us who are in shape and wear jeans that fit not wearing underwear rocks!

That’s an iteresting text. Exaggerated but some points are quite valid… Doean’t apply to everyone though, as there are people who sweat a lot or just smell. Not sure how that applies to them. Saving money is not an arguent for losing the underwear, but I admit sometimes I just don’t put boxers on, and yes it feels good

Haha! Great article, I love the graph, v funny!
I’m not sure I agree that we should stop wearing underwear but I do agree that by being more careful with what you buy and how you buy it you should be able to save money. I think too many people spend way too much time worrying about their underwear and this includes trying to find a style that suits them. Just choose one of two designs and looks that work and shop twice a year. That’s all you need to do.
And the best tip I can give is to shop in the sales. Underwear never really goes out of fashion as long as it looks good so don’t be worries about wearing ‘last season’ because it’s probably only just a colour change!

We have a quote book at our house with funny quotes that family members have blurted out over the years. One day my wife said “I hate wearing panties”. So most of the time she doesn’t. Man I’m a lucky guy.
