National Underwear Day: Underwear Lovers Day
Who knew that something so essential to our daily lives deserved its special day? Well, someone did! And that someone was a genius. National Underwear Day, celebrated on August 5th, is a special occasion for all underwear aficionados. Let's dive into the skivvies of this fantastic day!
Brief History
Believe it or not, underwear has a rich history. From fig leaves to fancy lace, our undergarments have come a long way. And let's face it, they've played a crucial role in human comfort and style. So, it's only fitting that we dedicate a day to celebrate these unsung heroes of our wardrobes.
Self-love & Confide
Let's take a moment to discuss self-love. Feeling good in your skin starts from the inside out, but sometimes a little external boost can go a long way. Your underwear is the first thing you put on in the morning, so why not choose something that makes you feel confident and comfortable? It's like armour for your inner superhero!

When is National Underwear Day: And How To Celebrate It
Mark your calendars! National Underwear Day is celebrated every year on August 5th, and in 2025, it falls on a Tuesday—the perfect midweek excuse to strip down (to your undies, of course) and celebrate comfort, confidence, and body positivity! 🎉
1. Host an Underwear House Party
Why should outerwear have all the fun? Gather your friends for an Underwear Party where the dress code is strictly UNDERWEAR because "less is more!" All the activities will be underwear-related, like an underwear fashion show, underwear challenges, best underwear of he night prizes, and so on.
2. Take a Special Underwear Selfie (Even If You Don’t Post It!)
We just talked about self-love and body positivity. Now let's practice both with some spicy underwear selfies - posting it is optional. No need to go viral—this one’s just for you (or maybe your partner). Snap a pic in your favourite (or most outrageous) pair. Feeling artsy? Try a creative mirror shot or a tasteful silhouette. If you're not posting it or sending it to that person you've always wished saw you in less clothes, save it in a hidden album as a reminder of how amazing you look!
3. Gift Someone New Underwear (Yes, Really!)
Underwear gifts are not only for honeymoons, Father's (Mother's) Day and birthdays. Surprise a friend, sibling, or partner with a fresh, fun pair—just make sure you know their size! Do you know someone you think needs some underwear replacement? Now is your excuse to gift them a pair. You can even send them a gift card from your favourite underwear brand. You can even include a funny note like, "Hope I see you in these"
4. Wear Something Unexpected
Step out of your comfort zone—literally! Branch out. Be an explorer. Underwear comes in many styles, shapes, and colours. Grey, white and black are not the only colours available. Life is too short to be boring. Try some jockstraps or men's thongs. These were not designed for gay men. Anyone can wear them.
5. No underwear day
Yes, we know this sounds like the opposite of what you should be doing. But why not? If you work from home, declare it "No Pants Day" (just keep the camera waist-up). If you have a partner, you can both share this special 'giving our underwear a public holiday' challenge.

6. Replace Old Underwear (It’s Time, We Promise!)
This is a safe space. But it is also a no-holes-in-underwear space. Did you know 9% of American men admit to owning undies that are at least 10 years old? 😳 National Underwear Day is the perfect excuse for a drawer detox! Let's make a rule to help you know when to replace your underwear.
If they’re stretched out, faded, or full of holes, thank them for their service and let them go.
Upgrade sustainably: Opt for eco-friendly fabrics like bamboo, modal and organic cotton. Donate or repurpose old and/or unused underwear.
7. Underwear Donation Drive
Spread the love by donating unused underwear to a local charity shops. It's a small act that can make a big difference. Most of them will not take used men's underwear, so recycle worn-out pairs with fabric recycling organisations.
So, whether you're a thong enthusiast or a boxer brief believer, National Underwear Day is your chance to shine. Embrace your inner fabulousness and let your underwear fly!
