The title of this post probably doesn’t make your eyes widen with excitement, and that’s normal, especially if you are a woman. There are really four interesting things about this latest discovery in the women’s panties world.
1. This average of 34 panties is three times what it was in 1999.
2. 58% of women say that big, white knickers are their favorite. My mom and grand mom are the only women I can think of who like white knickers.
3. Many women have admitted that reading books like Fifty Shades of Grey has influenced their decision in owning special-occasion panties. I don’t own one single special-occasion panty. I need to read this book already.
4. In true Verastic fashion, I did the only plausible thing I could think: I counted and took a picture of all my panties. For your viewing pleasure, of course. You’ll thank me later.
Continue to see.
Turns out I have a total of 41 panties, and they include all sorts: boy shorts, g-strings, lace, low rise, bikini, thongs, hipsters, and whatever else is in there. I’m not sure exactly what to do with this information, or how to feel about it. Nonetheless, I have used three of the panties to send you a special message. Enjoy.
Fabulous
Let’s Party.
See You Tonight.
My 41 panties? Fabulous! What do I wanna do about it? Let’s Party! When?? See You Tonight.
How many panties (or boxers/briefs/boxer-briefs) do you own?
P.S. That fabulous panty is one of the few ones that leave glitter on my face and Igwe’s face. I’m not gonna be buying glitter panties any time soon.

lol at the messages. The white panty thing is an older generation favourite as my mom and aunties too wear nothing but white. I have enough panties to go two months without having to do panty laundry! and they come in various designs, shapes just like yours but i draw the line at messages on panties lol i once saw a pair that had “come inside” written at the front…
Vera Ezimora says
Hahahaha at the come inside. See, unlike you, I would have bought that panty just because of its message. I only have 41. That means I need to buy more. Looking forward to it. The only line I have drawn right now is at buying underwears with glitter. They get eveywhere.
Manny says
Igwe’s face hmmmmmm
Vera Ezimora says
Lol. It’s not what it sounds like. The glitter just has a way of attaching everywhere, even places I cannot explain. Like the pillow case. Like my hair brush. Lol.

Bingz says
Vera has 41 panties……………….. I winder what came over you and made you to start counting them though
Vera Ezimora says
The article I read made me count them. I never knew the number until I read that women now have an average of 34 panties.
onakachi says
Wow, err…I don’t wanna tell you how many I have seeing as you have more than me. I feel like I don’t have enough. *Covers face and walks away*
Vera Ezimora says
Lol. Onakachi, trust me, you don’t have to feel that way. There are many women who have more than me and less than you. So, go count and report! Lol.
Nwunye says
Oh PLEASE don’t make me count. I have four drawers full. And one under the bed. Why? Because knickers are GORGEOUS!
Vera Ezimora says
Four drawers plus under the bed??? Ah! I must beat your record! The battle line has been drawn. Consider yourself warned! Lol.
Estella says
Vera, I was having an argument with some peeps the other day, and talk came up of WHEN should women wash their pants? Daily, monthly or when out? ……Some said women should wash their panties DAILY because of the natural secretion we have, counter argument was wash monthly or when you run out of them….etc.
WHAT are your thoughts for your readers? Health wise, is it good to pile them panties up till month-end washing or wash daily as you bath? (At least that was the way girls in Nigeria did, growing up, no matter the amount of panties they owned)
As for how many I have? Hmmmmm….let me count the packs of 6s and 8s I bought for the trip to Africa….lol
PS: I love cotton boxers in the hot weather! They are COMFY! And YES to the …………..
Pendo says
i usually let them pile up for two weeks sometimes but i wash weekly sometimes. I personally don’t think daily washing is very thorough since one is most likely in a hurry to go to work school etc If you are worried about “natural secrections” etc then do it once a week get a small bucket with a lid and soak them daily if you have to remember to change the water every two days until the week is up but if there are no natural secretions then by all means let them pile just get a small drawstring laundry bag for them. It’s all a matter of personal choice hygiene and common sense really if it needs to be washed right away (time of the month etc) then by all means wash them i always soak first so if it means soaking in the morning and washing in the evening so be it
Vera Ezimora says
Thanks, Pendo. Will reply mine before the end of the week …. With a picture! Tehehehe. This is exciting,
Vera Ezimora says
Estella,
Hmmmmmm. This is a very interesting question. I think I should respond to it via a completel blog post. That way, more people will get to read it. I like it! I’ll let you know as soon as I put it up before the end of the week.
Thanks, babe! You rock 🙂
Estella says
Awwwww. Thanks dearie.
I trust you to write a good one on it. #ExpectanltyWaiting!
Howdy? Hugggz
Vera Ezimora says
Yes ooo! I’m gonna go to the store today to buy “something” I need for the post. Hope to put the post up tomorrow. I’m fine, fine. Heard (more like read) you got married. Congrats!!!
Estella says
I do panty liners, best way to preserve panties and then have a healthy pile up. But some one said its too expensive….(i believe its worth it)…
The satiny, lacy and fragile ones though I think should be hand-washed and dried immediately…..
@Pendo…that morning and evening soak and wash….with a tight schedule, that sure would be hard to remember, I think.
Back when we were younger and into the whites-only panties collections (lol) was when the bucket soaking was perfect because bleach had to be used…..to keep ’em sparkling! smh. (now check out all the rainbows of colors we have in our drawers! lol)
To think men just toss their briefs and boxers in the laundry carelessly is NOT fair! lol
Vera Ezimora says
Lol at the white only pantries. I remember the days. I’ve never, ever actually used a panty liner. But we’ll see what I can come up with when I put up the post.
Estella says
Gurl! There was a time when any panty that was not white meant ‘unclean’!!! lolol
Vera Ezimora says
My mom and grandma still feel the same way. All my attempts to change their perspectives have proven null and void. They retain their boring white knickers.
Pendo says
i use panty liners too thats why i let them pile up as they do Vera you should try them best invention ever @Estella yep the morning/evening soak and wash thing is crazy i only do that for extreme cases when a daily wash is needed and the funny thing is even after it dries i will still put it in the pile with the rest for “proper” washing later lol i think i still have hangups from the soaking days coz i still soak even if they will end up in the washer lol
Vera Ezimora says
Hmmm. I’m gonna blog about my thoughts and views.
Judith says
I’ve got 75 panties. I’m not kidding either. Think that’s enough? Lol
Vera Ezimora says
75 panties?! Madam, are you selling them or using them to pay rent? Lol.
