Bras and undies, oh my!

Atleast once every spring and fall I try to go through my under-items and get rid of some stuff.  Yesterday I did my spring-cleaning and DH was astounded by how much underwear I have.  I threw out 17 pairs and it barely put a dent in my drawer.

So, any idea how much underwear (panties, thongs, etc) or bras you own?

I have no clue on the underwear.  I'd guess over 100 pairs.  I actually found some pairs that were brand new (well washed but not worn yet) that I forgot I had bought.  As for "regular" bras (aka not sport bras or strapless), I have about 12, but only 7 of them I really wear on a regular basis.  Some are just cutesy for at-home fun :O)

Re: Bras and undies, oh my!

  • I have two bras that I wear regularly and one that I wear when I'm washing the other two, but would never leave the house in.

    I might have 15 pairs of panties, might.

  • I have 6 pairs of regular Fruit of the Loom cotton panities, that I wear daily.  And I have maybe 3 pairs of "fancy" panties (that I bought around the time of the wedding).

    And I own 3 bras.  Two of them are daily drivers and 1 is a plunge bra that I only wear when I'm dressed up (and it was my wedding bra too!)

  • Oh god. I guess I probably have about 50-75 pair of underwear and 10 bras. I only wear 3 of them regularly though. No particulare reason, they are probably just the most comfortable.
  • I can't even imagine what it would be like to own 10 bras.  I'd be in heaven.  I'd also be rich.  lmao  That'd be like $500 worth of bras for me!

    I know how you feel.  Last year for my b-day, Chris got me a $300 gift certificate for the bra place I go to.  I paid an extra $40 and got two bras.  I do admit that I did go a bit fancier on one of them than I would have if I didn't have the gift certificate.

  • I have enough panties that If I wanted to I could make it three months without washing any and still have some left over....I'm Horrible when it comes to shopping for underwear the more the better!

     Bras, Id say I've got around 14 maybe 15, but really only wear like 5 of them on a regular basis

    Poor Mike gets ONE whole dresser drawer for his socks/underwear/pj pants. And I've got a whole drawer full of nothing but bras, and one of them little 3 drawer carts things full of panties...Embarrassed  yeah I think I've got a addiction

  • OMG I have a ridiculous amount.

    "regular" underwear: 40

    "pretty-special occasion" underwear: 37

    "normal" bras: 9 (but there are 3 I wear most of the time)

    "pretty-special occasion" bras: 6

    (and I do thin the herd pretty regularly - anything that doesn't fit "well" or underwear that are starting to stretch or get less than "nice" get tossed a few times a year)...

  • I clean mine out every few months.

    I probably have about 70 pairs, including all thongs, briefs, boyshorts, etc

    Bras.. I have maybe like 10-15 sets for that special occasions, then I have about 5-6 regular bras but typically end up wearing the same 4.

     

  • I have a huge drawer full of panties, if I had to guess.. about 100 pairs. Now, most of them I bought 4+ years ago when I was single and could spend my money on whatever I wanted. LOL I have only bought maybe 10 pairs in the past 4 years. I need to go through my drawer for spring cleaning still, so that will knock out about 10 pairs. (When Steve and I first started dating I had TWO drawers full!)

    Bras - I have 3 that are for daily wear. And I have about 20 that don't fit anymore, but I want them to fit, and they are from Victoria Secret and barely used, so I have not thrown them out yet, in hopes of wearing them again someday.

    I used to have a serious VS secret addiction... I worked right down the street from a store and would go in at least weekly on my lunch break. They all knew me by name Embarrassed

  • I am stunned at the amount of underwear you all have!

    I have probably about 25 pairs, but a bunch I don't wear and obviously wash the ones I wear regularly.

    I have about 7 bras. I hate shopping for both underwear & bras, so that could explain my lack of each.

  • The majority of my bras are VS, but all purchased from the Semi-Annual Sale.  In January I got 4 new bras, but they were all $12.99, so I kind of just stock up.

    For undies, like Kenna, I have a good selection of "fancy" panties/thongs and then my selection of everyday wear too

    Ditto- my bras cost about $75 each- more if I find a fancy one.

     

    I have 1 really good bra (right fit) then 2 other bras (a size too small). I filter through these regularly. I have a few sports bras for working out and days off cleaning and such.

    For underwear I have like 20 or so pairs of regular ones- then maybe 20 or so "special occasion" ones. This number went up for the wedding and then last month when we honeymooned lol!

  • Holy crap, I love you ladies, but that's a LOT of underwear.  They're effing expensive. :P

    I have probably 15 pairs of panties and three bras.  I do laundry really often.  I also have a box of bras that don't fit anymore, but are practically new.   

  • *putting on my flame-proof suit* TMI alert!

    I  actually don't really wear underwear all that often.  I wear it during Aunt Flo's visits, and whenever I wear a dress, but the rest of the time, it's pretty much commando.  This was on the advice of a nurse practitioner I was seeing, because I was getting constant urinary tract infections (not a good thing with compromised kidney function) and nothing seemed to be keeping them from happening.  They went away almost entirely when I switched to all cotton, reusable menstrual pads and started giving my lady bits some air.  Coincidental?  Maybe, but if it ain't broke, I'm not fixin' it.  (Disclaimer:  I am not saying this is the solution for everyone.   I'm simply saying it works for me.)

    So yeah...I own MAYBE 8-10 pairs of underwear, all of them cotton, most of them plain white, but I do have a couple of cute pairs just for variety.

    As for bras, I have 2 that I rotate from day to day, and 1 "wash day" bra that has definitely seen better days.  It's probably about time to replace my stock.

  • I am the underwear/VS wh0re!! I just bought 3 pairs of the new Incredible undies at VS, I had a $10 off and a coupon for a free pair so I paid $16 for three pairs. I just went through my undies and got rid of a large shopping bag full but I still have prob 75-100 pairs of undies, mostly "fancy" panties but a few cotton boring ones. 

    Like Erin, I also go commando quite frequently for the same reason, after AF I was getting yeast infections so OBGYN told me, no undies at bed time and cotton only or nothing at all, I can't give up the fancy panties but I do like to go with nothing.

    Bras- I have like 10 that I rotate.
