An alarming amount of Americans have admitted to this dirty habit

There's a lot of surprising information on people's hygiene out there! A recent study reveals that Americans are quite relaxed about changing their underwear every day.

American underwear brand Tommy John conducted a small survey by interviewing 2,000 men and women about their relationship to cleanliness and underwear.

The results... 45% of respondents said they've worn the same underwear for at least two days! But that's not all, 13% say they have worn the same underwear for a week... 7 days! And most of them were men.

The data they obtained somewhat astonished and confused the underwear brand, Tommy John. Because you have to admit that's not sanitary at all. So, the brand gave its customers a quick reminder of the unspoken underwear they should abide by:

It's crucial to update your underwear wardrobe every six months to a year to ensure you're protected from harmful infections and health risks. Women should be especially careful, as they're more at risk than men to experience health issues due to unclean underwear.
