Seven per cent of Norwegian men and six per cent of women wear the same pair of undies for at least a whole week before changing to a fresh pair, according to a new poll.

Norwegians with a high level of education change their underwear less often than those with a lower level of schooling, the survey of 1000 Norwegians, conducted by polling institute ACNielsen, showed.

However, 65 per cent of those questioned say they pull on a fresh pair once a day, while 4 per cent say they change twice a day.

Those least likely to change their knickers are in the 41 to 50 age range, while 18-to-30 year-olds are the most fastidious, with 73 per cent who change daily.

Single men are also more likely to put on clean skivvies than those in a relationship.

Eleven per cent of Norwegians change their underwear two to three times a week and 18 per cent do so four to six times a week.

If the ultra-kinky segemnt of Japanese find out about this, a new E-commerce Internet market will have been created.

For what it's worth, this is still about 5 times the percentage that is gay

So how do they get that many people into one pair???

[Ready4Freddy]

No wonder the Swedes let the Norwegians have their own country......

They're already there with Six Day underwear. Three leg holes allow the wearer to rotate them once for each of three days, and then turn them inside out for another three days of rotation.

There is an ongoing dispute over the best direction for rotation - clockwise vs counter-clockwise.

Norskies. Figures. Uff da!

[mountaineer]

Then, after a week, they donate that used pair of underwear to charity and claim a tax deduction.

[Dudoight]

They probably bathe as often as they change underwear.

Until the Swede-underwear research comes out, I'm not going to assume the Swedes are any better. I've known some of them.

This is a common practice in Germany too, or so I was told when I lived there back in the 80s. My landlady thought I wasted water because I showered every day. The German's washed their cars more often then their bodies.

Well it did help me eliminate Norway as a vacation destination.

And don't forget inside-out.

[Marysecretary]

Hey, watch it Svenske! Remember, 10,000 swedes run through the veeds, chased by ONE Norwegian.

This underwear misinformation is just what we all wanted to hear, huh? M

[Marysecretary]

Nah, you have them mixed up with the Clintons.

That's gonna leave one ugly panty line.
