National Underwear Day is Today

Today marks Freshpair's 8th annual National Underwear Day.  Instead of the usual festivities in New York City, this year Freshpair has moved the celebration online.  So this year it's not just New Yorkers who get a chance to get some free pairs.  From now until August 14th Freshpair is giving away 5,000 pairs of underwear, no strings attached.  All you have to do is fill out the simple form on their website and you're entered to win.  You even get to select your style preference!  For more details, check out Freshpair's site.

Also, as further celebration, Freshpair is offering 25% off many of their top brands including 2(x)ist, Unico, and Go Softwear.

Freshpair also cites some startling statistics about underwear: Did you know that 80% of Americans never change the style of underwear they wear in their adult lives, and 60% of those people don’t even wear underwear that fits!  Whether it’s the wrong size, fabric or cut, people have been settling for second best for far too long.  So we think that now is the perfect time to try a new fit or style and spruce up your underwear wardrobe. 

Question of the Day:

Do you wear multiple styles of underwear or do you stick to the same thing every day?

Bonus Entries for Freshpair Giveaway

So I know that there are plenty of you out there that read this blog, but there seems to be a lack of commenting lately. I want to know what YOU think! So to encourage this I will allow you to get a bonus entry in the Freshpair Giveaway each day by commenting on a post. For the comment to qualify please include the words "I want underwear bonus" at the end of the comment for tracking purposes. Also, in your regular entry for the day please note what your username is on the comment or which comment is yours.

For comments to qualify they must be on a post that is a real post and not one like this that is tagged "blog announcement". The comment must be related to the post and must be somewhat lengthy. A comment that simply says "I like this" will not qualify. You may only do one bonus entry per day - although I encourage you to comment as much as you'd like! For the complete rules of this contest please read this post. Good luck and happy commenting!

Contest Clarification

I just wanted to clarify something about the Freshpair giveaway. You may enter every day, but for each entry to be valid it must be different (have different content) than the previous entries. Since a lot of you have made this mistake I will validate all duplicate entries (even if I emailed you something saying differently) but from now on to submit another entry you MUST have different content in it.
