How many washes do you expect your underwear to last?

I keep washing it till it becomes the kind of underwear you don't want to be wearing if you're hit by a car.

Or when you go to a doctor?

I clicked 50+ but I don't hand wash them. They are washed in the washer in hot water because anything that comes in contact on or near the nether regions has traces of fecal matter on it and anything short of hot water and a round in the dryer at high heat doesn't kill it enough for me.

I have underwear that still fit, still look reasonably in shape and are washed regularly (once or more a week) that I've had for years. The idea of underwear withering away or being replaced after one or two washes is absolutely ridiculous to me. It pushes the cheapster button in me. Hard.
