Because they don’t sell underwear where you travel to? N+1 is the right answer.

And people wonder why we Americans are so weird when we bring our huge suitcases, packed full of clothes will probably never wear…

N+1 is right for you. I've been low on underwear from needing to change after a shower from the pool or beach to know I can comfortably pack 9 pairs for a 3 day trip. I dont go on vacation planning to buy underwear. Thats weird you probably only take one shower per day while on vacation

Well you also don't plan on shitting yourself do you?

[–] Stupidmanager@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I don’t plan on buying it. I just know I can if there is an emergency. And I take showers as needed, but at least once a day - what a silly accusation to jump to.

But hey, you do you.

Surely you can wear some of them multiple time. At worst you wash a few in the sink.

You never need more than 4-5

Wrong. A pair per day of boxer briefs for comfort, a few backups for shitting yourself, etc. A different thong for each day at the beach. Briefs for any tasks you need to handle. Something sexy for each night. A few edible pairs. If we're talking a week, that's minimum like 30 pairs.
