Less than eight in 10 men change their pants every day, according to new research which reveals the dirty truth about men’s underwear habits.
While 95 per cent of women don new knickers every morning, this figure drops to just 78 per cent of men in Britain.
Latest research into the nation’s laundry habits finds 87 per cent of all British adults change their pants and socks on a daily basis.
All change please: One in five men do not bother to change their underwear every day, according to a survey – unlike David Beckham who no doubt has a plentiful supply of Armani underwear
Regionally, those in the south east and East Anglia are the most fastidious about changing their underwear, with almost 91 per cent changing their socks and pants on a daily basis compared to just 81 per cent of those living in the north west.
Singletons are much less likely to put on fresh undies than their married counterparts – 82 per cent versus 88 per cent, said market analysts Mintel.
Richard Caines, senior consumer analyst, said: ‘There is a distinct whiff of laziness among men in the UK today when it comes to underwear.
‘You might assume that for personal hygiene reasons everyone puts on clean underwear when they get dressed at the start of the day, yet only eight in 10 men appear to be doing so.
‘It seems that the influence of a partner is a positive one when it comes to changing underwear and socks, with those who are married more likely to change their underwear on a daily basis.’
Shocking: The figures may be even worse than they appear to be as participants in the survey may have been too embarrassed to admit the truth
When it comes to clothes washing, 42% of British households put on a wash two or three times a week, meanwhile, almost four in ten (38%) households put on four or more wash loads a week.
While a large proportion of clothes are washed when they are not visibly dirty, with over half (52%) of adults wearing shirts or tops only once before putting them in the wash, only a small minority (16%) wait for these items to look visibly dirty before washing.
Just half of homes (53%) wash bedding every week, but three quarters (74%) of people wash towels at least weekly.
Meanwhile, ironing tops the list of the nation’s most hated laundry tasks.
Clean sweep: Only those in relationships appeared more motivated to keep their underwear fresh and regularly changed
This household chore is hated by as many as 40 per cent of Brits, while around the same number (37%) admit it is one of the worst household chores.
Ironing is most likely to be done just once a week, with a third (32%) of adults making ironing a weekly household chore, meanwhile, a quarter (27%) of people do ironing less than once a week or not at all.
An enthusiastic 12% of the nation are ironing addicts, ironing all clothing items including underwear, meanwhile, two thirds of Brits (64%) only iron items that really need an iron.
And it seems that the age of gender equality has yet to be fully realised, at least in terms of household chores, as the nation’s women are more than twice (79%) as likely as men (37%) to take the main responsibility for all the main laundry tasks in the home.
Old and past it: Just 56% of men aged 55 and over load and put on the washing machine compared to as many as 81% of men aged between 25 and 34
While the majority of men of most ages have some responsibility for laundry tasks, men aged 55 and over are significantly less likely to be involved, just 56% of men aged 55 and over load and put on the washing machine compared to as many as 81% of men aged between 25 and 34.
Among men who are married or living with a partner, women take on the main responsibility for laundry tasks in the vast majority of homes.
For example, only 19% of men living as a couple take the main responsibility for putting on the washing machine compared with 83% of women living with a partner.
Mr Caines said: ‘If men are involved with laundry it is most likely to be as part of a shared responsibility, but over time their level of involvement has been increasing. A generational shift is certainly being seen, with men under 55 significantly more likely to share some responsibility for laundry tasks.’

We change our underpants, socks, shirts and t-shirts every day and we wash and change our bedding weekly. We probably do 3-4 washes a week, more often when we have students staying. My partner enjoys ironing and sets up the ironing board in the sitting room and does the ironing whist catching up on the TV he’s missed (he works nights). The chore I hate most is house work. That’s why we have a cleaner come in twice a week.

We need to be green and conserve water. Once a fortnight is good enough. Or simply don’t wear them at all. My wife disagrees though.

For those who don’t, my guy makes it up for them.
He goes through 3 pairs of undies a day.
One in the morning, second after workout or work and third for sleeping-next morning he starts with fresh ones again :))
Clean freak?Maybe.
He has over 30 undies and about 100 pairs of socks!!! Never mind T-shirts etc.
I use to fold them up neatly and individually but now I just toss everything in their own drawers and let him dig for what he wants.
We have two washers and between dogs blankets, other dirty laundry and my boyfriends clothes, I’m washing something every day. Thank God we have no kids. I can’t imagine those piles!!!
