Do you pack sh*t yourself pants when you go on holiday?

My wife was talking about taking extra pants on holiday just in case your "soil" yourself. This has literally blown my mind. My wife is 34.

Yes. Usually 2 extra pairs.

  Per day?

I pack like I’m shitting myself multiple times a day
u/Wart_Time_L32101.08.2026, 17:25
7 days? Always have a couple back ups, I've never shat myself as an adult but there's always that one time...
u/StuckWithThisOne101.08.2026, 17:25
Yes. They’re not shit yourself pants, they’re more “I could pee when I laugh or get my period” extra pants.
u/WelshBen101.08.2026, 17:25
Shit myself in Vegas a couple of years ago. Big time too. So, yes.
- u/djferris123101.08.2026, 17:32
  I got food poisoning in Spain one year so I always take a couple extra pairs now too
- u/dbxp101.08.2026, 17:37
  Vegas is the one place you should expect to shit yourself
u/Voodoopulse101.08.2026, 17:26
I pack clothes like I'm going to get changed 3-4 times a day despite living in swimming shorts for the entire week
- u/y0dav3101.08.2026, 17:32
  Jeeze that hits home. I'm on holiday right now and I've only worn about a quarter of what my wife made me pack and we only have a couple days left. Could have gotten away with everything in my carry on.
  - u/jbeer1101.08.2026, 17:35
- u/SpiritedGuest6281101.08.2026, 17:38
  For a summer holiday, you need twice the nights number of underwear, something nice to wear for every evening, a set of day clothes for every day and about half the days for swim wear plus travel clothes for outbound and inbound journey. That's always been what I take, because that's always been what my mother took. Strangely for a weekend city break, I will pack the barest amount of clothes.
u/naalbinding101.08.2026, 17:26
I imagine plenty of people who menstruate do this
- u/ConchBonnet101.08.2026, 17:28
  I too imagine plenty of women do this
u/rockdecasba101.08.2026, 17:26
I pack like a sane person because I understand that, in the event of something unplanned, shops exist abroad as well
- u/IamNATx101.08.2026, 17:29
  How are you getting to the shops though? In your soiled underwear?
u/AmphibianNo8598101.08.2026, 17:26
Your wife is 34 mate it’s for unexpected periods
- u/intergalacticscooter101.08.2026, 17:27
  Tthis was an unexpected period of education for OP
- u/Fattydog101.08.2026, 17:34
  I can’t understand how Op, a married man, so completely fails to understand the reproductive basics of women’s bodies. I bet he thinks she pees out of her vagina too. This is hugely embarrassing.
u/BreqsCousin101.08.2026, 17:26
I pack extra pants in case I want to get changed for the evening and the daytime ones are a bit sweaty. Or in case the plane is delayed and I need to stay away another night. As a woman I'm liable to all kinds of underwear mishap that men don't need to worry about. Thinking that extra pants can have only one cause says more alloy you than her.
u/AcrobaticAuthor6539101.08.2026, 17:26
Tell me you know nothing about what it's like to get your period unexpectedly without telling me you know nothing about what it's like to get your period unexpectedly...
- u/Tawnysloth101.08.2026, 17:35
  I know, right? Not just periods, but just normal discharge too. At different points in your cycle, there are indeed days when you'll want to change your underwear.
- u/Thesherbertman101.08.2026, 17:37
  Honestly I don't even need to consider ladies cycles to realise a buffer if clean clothes is a good idea
u/TransatlanticMadame101.08.2026, 17:26
Your wife also can have unexpected heavy periods. It's a thing. Preparation in case is a good thing!
u/Kpowell911101.08.2026, 17:26
I just double the nights away. So dor 7 nights, 14 boxers, 14 pairs of socks
- u/HowYouSeeMe101.08.2026, 17:35
  This guy's shitting himself every single day!
u/NoAddedWater101.08.2026, 17:26
I pack a spare pair because I like having the freedom to jump into any body of water whenever I what and still have enough pants for each day.
u/MountainMuffin1980101.08.2026, 17:27
No because I'm not a toddler and haven't shat or pissed myself since I was like 4. I take extras in case I get caught in the rain and need to change, or have a really sweaty day and want to change into fresh ones through the day, and then another pair after a shower.
- u/DrinkBen1994101.08.2026, 17:32
  oh look here at big man hasn't shat himself since he was 4

  No way; you mean after all this time of thinking I had crohns disease, it turns out im just a toddler? Amazing.
- u/trouser_mouse101.08.2026, 17:35
  Sir this is Reddit
u/Paul_my_Dickov101.08.2026, 17:27
I pack more than one pair a day just in case. Not necessarily shitting myself but might have some hot sweaty days and want some nice clean clothes.
- u/[deleted]101.08.2026, 17:28
  [deleted]
- u/Crap___bag101.08.2026, 17:34
  Exactly the same here- as a woman, you never know what can go on down there on any given day :’) better to be prepared just in case!
u/robint88101.08.2026, 17:27
I literally just answered this on another subreddit and then this post appeared at the top of my page. I used to pack like I was gonna poop myself 21 days in a row on my 14 day holidays. I did poop myself on NUMEROUS occasions though. But remember, most places you go in the world sell underpants....just buy some there if you run out and don't overpack.
u/thatstoomuchsauce101.08.2026, 17:27
Not 'shit myself' pants, but extras incase of getting my period or if I want to shower and go out again in the evening.
u/SpiritedGuest6281101.08.2026, 17:27
I always take 2 times the amount of pants than I will need. I find myself generally showering in the morning, but also in the evening before dinner and I hate wearing worn boxers after a shower. I do think that the fresh pair after a shower generally came about because I had spare "shit yourself" boxers anyway.
- u/ribenarockstar101.08.2026, 17:35
  Agree with this, I might call them 'shit yourself' pants but really they're so that I can put a fresh pair on mid-way through the day.
u/Etheria_system101.08.2026, 17:28
Yes always. Every woman I know does as well. It’s drilled in from childhood when you start packing for yourself but still might have accidents, and when you have periods you know that you might need to change underwear a couple of times a day for a variety of reasons
- u/Usernameoverloaded101.08.2026, 17:32
  Also not looking for a shag, just comfort. Unless a random vpl need calls for something particular
u/Defiant-Insect-3785101.08.2026, 17:29
I always take a couple of extra pairs in hand luggage. Not because I might soil them but because flight delays happen and bags get lost.
u/JamesTiberious101.08.2026, 17:29
Always take backups. Even men.
u/Strong-Librarian-OOK101.08.2026, 17:29
I have bum cancer, so absolutely yes.
u/Distinct-Quantity-46101.08.2026, 17:29
Er…..no
u/simplespell27101.08.2026, 17:30
The one time I went vegan for lent then celebrated our Easter weekend away by breaking my fast and having a McFlurry in the motorway services, I was pleased I had packed spare pants 😂
u/SneezlesForNeezles101.08.2026, 17:30
I pack bonus pants in case i unexpectedly come on and get surprise blood on a pair. Tis a female thing, I suspect.
u/becca413g101.08.2026, 17:30
Multiple but if I got through a holiday without shitting myself I’d be very surprised as my organs don’t always behave themselves. Maybe have a discussion about how you can wash things while on holiday. Enough soap and scrubbing and they’ll be clean again. You might want to get some anti back for the sink though 😂
u/On_The_Blindside101.08.2026, 17:30
I have IBS. I pack shit myself pants daily.
u/Hotten-Tasty-90101.08.2026, 17:30
M36. I always pack double the amount of underwear I'd normally get through. Nothing worse than being in BCM square and having a touch of loose guts at 2am.
u/QueefInMyKisser101.08.2026, 17:31
I pack extra pants in case the journey home gets fucked and I get stranded for an extra day. Though they would also work if I shat myself. Just need to avoid getting stranded and shitting myself on the same trip!
- u/yolo_snail101.08.2026, 17:37
  If you get stranded, surely you can just wear the same ones twice?
u/y0dav3101.08.2026, 17:31
Jeeze that hits home. I'm on holiday right now and I've only worn about a quarter of what my wife made me pack and we only have a couple days left. Could have gotten away with everything in my carry on.
u/Some_Description_273101.08.2026, 17:31
Nah. But I pack 'unexpectedly heavy flow of blood' pants as a woman in my mid-30s.
- u/Enough-Ad3818101.08.2026, 17:36
  I pack "get caught in the rain and soaked" or perhaps "really super sweaty" clothes. Usually an extra two changes than I think I will need. After a notorious trip to Flanders in Belgium where I got drenched on the first day, and the clothes never dried for the rest of the trip, I've always packed a couple of full changes.
u/Jaqbox314101.08.2026, 17:31
Not in case I soil myself but on holiday I might do something in the day that means an afternoon shower then getting dressed, I hate putting on dirty underwear even if only worn half a day so I take a least 2 pairs per day away. More if I plan to go for runs or anything while I'm there. Plus another three pairs just in case. Just in case of what? 🤷‍♀️
u/Murky_Butterscotch_7101.08.2026, 17:31
I literally take 20 briefs/slips for a 7 day holiday 😂
u/Nomis1982101.08.2026, 17:31
Yes. In my head I always count out the amount I need "plus one in case I shit myself".
- u/Jezzle219101.08.2026, 17:35
  Same!!
u/wintermute023101.08.2026, 17:32
Not "shit yourself pants" specifically, but yes, I always pack a few extras. What if your flight's cancelled, or America declares war on Llandudno, or you get caught in a storm or something?
u/arothroughtheheart101.08.2026, 17:32
Pants don't take up much space. I pack extra because why not? Then if I do shit myself it's all good. And I suppose something something what if your return is delayed.
u/Hollykw101.08.2026, 17:32
I always pack in case I shit myself/piss myself/ bleed multiple times a day because you never know
u/mattay22101.08.2026, 17:33
I pack extra pairs if I know I’m going to get sweaty and have multiple showers
u/LittleDarkWrath101.08.2026, 17:33
I pack multiple spare pants and socks. Dunno why socks, but pants definitely in case I shit my pants. Often takes me body a few days to adjust to foreign food. Interestingly I don’t pack spare bottoms, which I’m sure would be ruined if I follow through lol
u/heepofsheep101.08.2026, 17:33
I have a chronic bowel disease and I never bring shit myself pants anywhere. Your wife is insane.
u/TN17101.08.2026, 17:33
I go really overprepared when travelling. I pack like I'm going to be shitting myself twice a day.
u/Infamous_Tough_7320101.08.2026, 17:33
Never in case I shit myself, only in case I need to change my pants mid-day if I’ve being exercising and they’re sweaty so I have a shower
u/CodeToManagement101.08.2026, 17:33
If I travel I always pack some just incase clothes - never know what will happen
u/TNTiger_101.08.2026, 17:33
I simply don't like puhting on pre-worn underwear. Maybe I fo swimming, or have sex, or go in a sauna... Good to have spares. Or gut sweaty or mucky and want a fresh start.
u/woooooooood9101.08.2026, 17:34
I always pack an extra pair of pants and socks you never know how far it will reach.
u/CoolVermicelli2212101.08.2026, 17:34
I pack like ten additional pairs in case I shit myself seven times a day..which has never happened to me but can't be to prepared
u/CaptainSeitan101.08.2026, 17:34
Im a man, and even I've soiled myself on holiday, definitely pack extra pants dude. It was made so much worse by the fact I was only 2 metres from the loo.
u/Important_Ad1967101.08.2026, 17:34
A Few extra pairs. A new pair in the morning, and a new pair after a shower to get dressed for the night.
u/Wanita_1972101.08.2026, 17:34
Yes. For my husband who is 54. We like a drink and he likes cider.
- u/Unprounounceable101.08.2026, 17:37
  Cider makes him shit himself?
u/SkipperTheEyeChild1101.08.2026, 17:34
I always take 1 extra pair but mainly just in case I’ve miscounted.
u/Jonny7421101.08.2026, 17:34
One extra pair of undies and a few pairs of socks(some thick and some thin). If worst comes to worst you can just buy clothes. I have always packed light as possible.
u/knight-under-stars101.08.2026, 17:34
WTF? No, of course not. God made pants with two sides for a reason.
u/Even_Menu_3367101.08.2026, 17:34
I think you’re forgetting that women have a specific reason why they might need an emergency pair.
u/Grouchy-Stretch-6517101.08.2026, 17:34
Nah, just for if I sweat way too hard if it's somewhere warm
u/dbxp101.08.2026, 17:35
Depends, I do take spare clothes to festivals specifically for the return trip just in case it's a mud bath
u/PleasantCucumber2615101.08.2026, 17:35
It saves the €50 fine each time when you shit on the hotel floor. 😄 I prefer to book places and hotels with a bit of hygiene.
u/OliphauntInTheRooms101.08.2026, 17:35
The question wasn't gender specific. If my wife said she would take extra pants for her period, I would completely understand. It's that she specifically said in case you shit yourself.
u/tiggergirluk76101.08.2026, 17:36
Yes, three times the number of days - one for the daytime, one for evening and sleeping in, and one in case I shit myself literally every single day.
u/Miserable-Ad7835101.08.2026, 17:36
Yes, despite not shiting myself for 20 years
u/Alternative-Fox-7255101.08.2026, 17:36
Of course, I’m not mental am I ?!?
u/Fit_Peanut_8801101.08.2026, 17:36
I always take a couple extras in case I get sweaty and fancy a change between day and evening. I don't anticipate shitting myself though haha
u/commanderquill101.08.2026, 17:36
Homie, she's talking about bleeding through her pants. Unlike with shitting, you can't actually tell the moment it starts.
u/The_dog_whisperer95101.08.2026, 17:36
Not S*t yourself pants but you Can never say someone's not going to spill something on you, or you'll Get soaked through rain, or females get caught out on monthlies 🤷🏼‍♀️. So yeah I pack extra everything
u/Zubi_Q101.08.2026, 17:37
I do, yeah 😅 I always pack a few extra sets. You just never know!
u/Full_Fun9829101.08.2026, 17:37
I don't call them shit myself pants but I have just in case pants. Realistically though if I have 2 showers in a day I likely will want to change after the second shower. That aside though, if I was to get ill I would certainly be covered
u/Physical-Exit-2899101.08.2026, 17:37
I pack extras cos I change more generally on holiday, not specifically in case I shit myself (although that probably more likely to happen on holiday than at home).
u/BirdieStitching101.08.2026, 17:37
Yes. My husband didn't. Then he got norovirus one holiday.
u/Yoguls101.08.2026, 17:37
No, because if worst comes to worst I'll just rewear a pair. They're not going to be that dirty
u/Wizzpig25101.08.2026, 17:38
Usually N+1
u/pickindim_kmet101.08.2026, 17:38
I usually pack with one or two more than days I'm away, assuming I'm not doing laundry when away. Having that spare for a bit of a wet fart day is great. Can wear another while you rinse the dirty ones and let them dry.
u/TheDawiWhisperer101.08.2026, 17:38
I take enough pants that I could shit myself three times a day and still have spares
u/Tommy-Foxwell101.08.2026, 17:38
Always take spare pants!
