EMMANUEL GBADEBO
I fancy my under wear a lot. I have up to 10 boxers and 10 singlet including round-neck shirts. I don’t think it’s a must I change them every day.
FOLA WILLIAMS
My boxers and singlet are very special to me. I have just 4 boxers and 5 singlets. I have brief too that I wear once in a while during my working days. I change my boxer everyday but when I am home I change them maybe once in two days. So, I wear my boxer and singlet for one or two days consecutively.
LARRY OBINNA
I don’t like to wear boxer,. I prefer pant. I have a whole lot of adult pant and I change them everyday depending on the stress of the day.
SAMSON FOWOWE
I am a guy and I don’t bleed monthly so, how do you expect me to change my boxers twice or even every day. I wear a boxer until it gets dirty enough to be changed. Concerning my singlet, I change that every two days. It is safe for ladies to change theirs every six hours but guys are free to even wear them for a week. It’s nobody business.
BABALAKIN AYO
For me, anytime I take a shower, I change my boxer and singlet. It’s non-negotiable. I take my bath at last twice a day or even more. I can’t even count the number of singlet and boxers that I have.
DANIEL IYANU
I normally change my boxers every day including my singlet and other inner wears. I am not trying to form, I just like to smell good every day. I have more than 20 boxers and about 10 singlets. So, it is not a problem changing them every day.
DAVID OPONOZAFODA
A normal hygiene is that one should change his boxers or singlet every morning when you take your bath, whether you do something hectic or not. So, that’s what I follow. I change my underwear after every morning shower, put on another one and then wash that one I wore before. I don’t keep dirty underwear for days.
PETER OLAYINKA
I have enough boxers, but I change them in two days just because I am a traveller and I can’t keep carrying boxers and singlet everywhere. I change them anytime I return home from a trip, either two or three days.
SHINA AYODEJI
The temperature has changed. There’s more of heat these days. I have learnt to change my boxers once every two days because of the very hot weather. When we are still enjoying a very good weather, I change two boxers in a week. I have four boxers and I don’t wear singlet at all.
MICHAEL UDOH
This boxers of a thing I think it is good to change it every day, even twice a day but not in this Nigeria. I don’t change my own every day. I wear a boxer for two days before changing it. I have up to 10 boxers and I can’t even count my singlet.
TOSIN OLADELE
My underwear is very precious to me. I wash them every day after every wear and I change them daily too. I have about 30 boxers and 20 singlets, including briefs and men panties.
