I know that my male underwear is made much better than the female underwear I once wore. Most of my current underwear is three years old, most of them have been washed weekly, using a washer/dryer, settings were hot and hot.

I dont know that I have an exact number in mind but I expect them to last a long time. I have underwear I've had for years.

hmmm... odd poll...
I have also had underwear for years, but probably own at least 50 pair... some are worn very rarely, while others are worn more regularly and still others are worn only at certain times... SO...I would have to say it really depends on what kind of underwear it is... I will hand wash the more expensive and/or delicate ones.. but I wouldn't hesitate to throw out a cheaper pair!
I think it might be fun to have my underwear cut off me by my partner... or ripped...

How do you define courage? Is it the absence of fear? You might think, under the weight of your fears, "I am not courageous." But maybe you have the wrong perspective. Courage can be measured in many ways, and is not the absence or denial of fear, but the willingness to act vulnerably. When you're faced with the unknown and then you stand on the edge of risk, courage brings you to the point where you are able to take flight, though you might be unsure of your wings.

Forgive my ignorance, but what in the world can you recycle underwear into?

I throw mine in with everything else and wash them in cold water. I have a couple that finally need to be thrown away and they are about 6 years old. I have about 10 pair so they get worn and washed pretty much every day. But they are Cacique that cost about $12 each! But my Fruit of the Loom guy briefs I wear have also lasted several years.

Being they are all cotton: they make for great dusting, cleaning mirrors/glass, washing the car etc. They leave very little residue on a lot of surfaces! There are times when they are better than a paper towel

I don't know if it is due to the brand I buy or the expense of said brand, but my Calvin Kleins last years and years. We are well past 50 washes and not a tear in them. They are the type you buy individually in a box, though. So yeah, costly.

I wash on cold, regular dry.

P.S. I love a good poll. And every poll is a great poll!

Goodwill will accept any clean, not mildewed fabric even if it has holes. If they can't sell it they will send it to a fabric recycler, who will break down the fibers for reuse. Even our old underwear can be recycled once we stop wearing them.
Also, for me, my underwear tends to last for years. I wash on warm, normal dry. I either wear "just my size" cotton undies in bright colors, or for fancy ones I get stuff at Lane Bryant. I've never had a pair of panties last less than a couple years, except when they've been cut off. (Though honestly, I usually set aside older ones for that kind of business.)
