Daddy's Undies

Daddy's Undies

Instead of buying Dad a tie this Father's Day, maybe some new undies would be a better fit!

I know, I know. Just what you want to think about. Dad's underwear. Gross! But get this . . . Jockey is revealing the true age of men’s underwear – and it’s not a pretty sight!

Stretched out and stained, lots of daddy drawers beg to be replaced. A survey by Jockey reveals that more than a quarter of men in America – 26% – own underwear that are five or more years old, and a shocking 11% own underwear that are over a decade old!

Now, I can promise you I DO NOT have underwear older than a decade. I will admit however, I probably have a few that fit a little too snug. I'm also pretty sure I have a pair with the elastic worn out.

Additional findings:

· When asked the true age of their underwear, men admit to owning pairs 3-4 years old (24%); 5-9 years old (13%); and 10 or more years old (11%).

· 77% admit that their old drawers are tattered, discolored or stained. Just 23% say theirs are just like new!

· Men admit that they’re holding on to old underwear despite the fact that they no longer fit (15%); have lost elasticity (30%); are stained (36%); or covered in holes (14%).

It's nice to see/read that I'm not alone.

Happy Father's Day!

Now the question is...briefs or boxers? I prefer the brief boxer shorts.
