On average, a British man will own 13 pairs of underwear, and will buy a new pair every six months, spending around £20.75 a year. Black cotton boxer shorts were deemed the most popular style choice.
One interesting find in the survey was the reasons men change their underwear. Some 30 per cent of men said they'll change their pants if they think sex might be on the cards, while 41 per cent crack out a special pair for nights out. Around 10 per cent get the lucky boxers out for business reasons.
The survey certainly makes for eye-opening reading. In among all the facts was news that Scots are most likely to wear a thong while men in East Anglia are most likely to wear Y-fronts.
It was Geordies who were most likely to wear novelty pants, while 10 per cent of those in Northern Ireland can sometimes wear pants up to four times before washing them.
But your main take away here should be: wash and change your underwear more often. As Jenni Bamford from Jacamo says: "Our study has uncovered a distinct sniff of laziness when it comes to men in the UK and their underwear habits."
So please boys, be smarter with your underwear selections.
