The lifespan of daily panties can vary depending on factors such as fabric quality, frequency of use, personal hygiene practices, and laundering techniques. However, as a general guideline, it is recommended to replace your daily panties every 6 to 12 months. Here are a few considerations to help determine when it's time to throw away and replace your daily panties:

1. Fabric Quality: High-quality fabrics tend to last longer and maintain their shape and elasticity better than lower-quality materials. Opt for panties made from durable fabrics like cotton, microfiber, or modal, which can withstand frequent use and washing. We especially love Montelle,, Stripe and Stare, Fleur’t, and Chantelle for everyday wear.
2. Wear and Tear: Regularly inspect your panties for signs of wear and tear. Look for stretched elastic bands, holes, fraying fabric, or faded colors. If you notice significant damage, it's time to replace them.
3. Hygiene: Pay attention to your personal hygiene habits. If you maintain good hygiene practices, including daily washing and proper care, your panties are likely to last longer. However, if you experience frequent vaginal infections or have a particular condition that requires stricter hygiene measures, it may be advisable to replace your panties more often to minimize the risk of infection, as even frequently washed panties retain some skin cells and bacteria, especially as they age.
4. Lifestyle and Activity Level: Consider your lifestyle and the activities you engage in. If you lead an active lifestyle or participate in activities that cause excessive sweating or friction, such as sports or physical work, your panties may experience more wear and tear. In such cases, it may be beneficial to replace them more frequently to maintain comfort and hygiene.
5. Body Changes: Changes in weight, pregnancy, or hormonal fluctuations can impact the fit and comfort of your panties. If you experience significant body changes, it's essential to reassess your underwear collection and replace any items that no longer fit properly.
6. Personal Preference: Ultimately, personal preference plays a role in deciding when to replace daily panties. If you notice a decrease in comfort or feel that your panties no longer provide the desired level of support, it may be time to refresh your collection.

Remember, the 6-12 month timeline provided is a general guideline, and individual circumstances may vary. Trust your judgment and prioritize your comfort, hygiene, and overall well-being when choosing when to cycle through panties. If it’s been a while since you replaced your daily pieces, and you’re noticing some of the signs that it’s time, head to the panty bar and bundle to save.
