I'm really not sure if this is good news or bad news.
Â
Every few months, a video will go viral on TikTok or another site where someone says you have to THROW AWAY your underwear every six months, or nine months, or year . . . because it's building up bacteria. Even if you wash it.
Â
But according to several doctors . . . that's not true. You don't have to replace your underwear every six months or every year. You can keep wearing it FOREVER. At least until it disintegrates.
Â
Dr. Christine Greves, an OB/GYN in Orlando, says, quote, "If you're washing your underwear in warmer or hot water, you are cleaning the bacteria off them . . . as long as your underwear is clean, [it] should be okay."
Â
Then again, your significant other might disagree. A survey found one out of eight adults say they're DISGUSTED by the state of their significant other's underwear . . . and, quote, "worn out pairs" are the top complaint.
