Well, I had already planned this post, so thought it timely to go for it.

Thanks for asking. Today&#8217;s post is actually about doubling. I have about 20 pair of briefs. There, I said it. TMI. But why does this even matter? Thanks for asking that, too.<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"clear:both;text-align:left;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear:both;text-align:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thesimplehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/31-48515_d.jpg\" style=\"clear:right;float:right;margin-bottom:1em;margin-left:1em;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thesimplehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/31-48515_d.jpg?w=525\" \/><\/a>If we adjust the amount of clothing we own so that we are able to run full loads of wash, not partial loads (and not even &#8220;almost full&#8221; loads), we will save water. So actually doubling the amount of underwear we own may ultimately save in the long run. So you see, it&#8217;s not just about doing with less, it&#8217;s about being smart about what we do.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear:both;text-align:left;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear:both;text-align:left;\">I buy underwear that is well-made, all the same color (so they don&#8217;t need to be washed separately) and they last. Durability is a factor to consider, too, since that saves material, manufacturing, money, etc.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear:both;text-align:left;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear:both;text-align:left;\">This can apply to clothing other than underwear, too, but a picture of a shirt here wouldn&#8217;t have been as eye-catching to you. And, just so you know, it was quite an experience Googling underwear images. THAT was truly TMI. It took me a very long time to find an image I felt was appropriate.
