When the underwear drawer runs dry
The Underwear Back-Up Plan: The Full Survey

Running out of clean underwear can turn an ordinary laundry problem into a surprisingly creative exercise. In our quick poll, we asked women what they do when the underwear drawer reaches emergency mode. Now we're going a little further. This survey looks at how often it happens, why it happens, and the backup strategies women actually use when there are no clean pairs left.
