Do You Fold Your Underwear?

Last week, Keely at Mannland5 asked the question do you fold your underwear on her Getting To Know You blog hop.

I am an underwear folder. I always have been and likely always will be. Mine, Ian's, the children's. I like to see neatly folded stacks of clean underwear, even if they continue to live in the laundry basket.

I thought everyone did this.

Imagine my surprise after reading several blogs and discovering that this was not a common practice. Many people just shoved them into their drawers, not caring that they will be wearing wrinkly underwear.

Wrinkly. Underwear.

Shudder.

So I put up a poll for you all to vote as to whether or not you fold your underwear. And the results are in.

Do You Fold Your Underwear?
Always ~ 9 votes ~ 28%
Sometimes ~ 3 votes ~ 9 %
Rarely ~ 2 votes ~ 6%
Never ~ 18 votes ~ 56%
Total votes: 32


Interesting.

On to my next poll - Do You Wear Your Pjs In Public?

  1. I would never wear my PJ's in public, but my 21, 19, and 16 year old will.

  2. Well, considering all of my PJs are my old maternity PJs that are too comfortable to get rid of, probably not :-)

  5. not anymore. I used to wear PJ's all the time, travelling, shopping, to school, to restaraunts, anywhere and everywhere cuz-it was comfy and I didn't care.

    Now, I will wear sweats in public but not any kind of pj-looking pants. and I NEVER wear whatever comfy pants I may wear all day to bed again that night. blech! ...ok so sometimes I wear pj pants when I am going on a long trip or something but I am usually in yoga pants or sweats not actual pj's.

    Long enough answer? :)

  6. What do you mean with "in public"? If I go out, definitely no, if I receive an unexpected guest, of course.

  12. We I HATE jeans of every type. I either live in dress pants, skirts or sweats. Right this very moment I am in sweats, a T-shirt and baseball cap. ( which I LOVE TO WEAR )
    if I am not going to work or to church I am in a ball cap. HATE HATE HATE doing hair. I find it to be the most boring useless thing on EARTH...

    Oh No I do not wear jammie bottoms in public. ( sorry I went off on a tangent. )

    were do we go to vote?

  13. Yay to the "I don't fold my underwear" club!!! I never fold mine-but I do fold my children's and husbands. Funny.

  14. I am a folder, thank you very much! PJ's in public? I wear satin pj's - button down tops with satin pants - very pretty, but not for anywhere but inside! Pair those with my LAMOS slippers, and I am comfy cozy, ready to spend the evening with my honey in front of a good DVD and a warm blanket!

  15. You mean to tell me that folding my underwear is not normal?! Next, you'll try to tell me that I shouldn't iron it either:)

  16. There was a time when I was a teen that I never folded my underwear or matched my socks. But now I have realized they fit into the drawer much easier so I have returned to my mom's ways which were much better than mine:)

  17. Kate, this is so funny! I don't necessarily fold my underware, but I do lay it in neat piles! Also, I would never wear my PJs in public, and thank you for coming to check if I'm still alive! I am, and as soon as the kids all get back to school and the husband goes back to work, I will be back at Blog Frog!

  18. PJ's in public....no way Jose!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I usually just lay them flat and stack them, in a rush I shove them and when I have the urge to organize I fold them.

    But they dont wrinkle? I never remember putting on a pair of shoved in the drawer panties and thinking wow these are wrinkly!!

  20. Oh and the jammie thing- mine are not appropriate for the public to see ;) Just kidding!! But no I don't wear mine out in public!

    ReplyDelete
  21. No PJ's in public!!

  22. Ha! I never fold my own undies but I do fold my husband and my daughters...his just fit better in the drawer if they're folded and well, Cocoa Puff's panties look SO cute folded :)

    As for the jammies in public question....NOPE. I would NEVER where my jammies in public. Partly because I don't think it's appropriate and partly because Cap'N Crunch would have a fit....he really can't stand it...don't let him see someone in jammies AND slippers out. It doesn't bother me so much, but he just gets his panties, ahem, I mean undies in a bunch when he sees that.
