Most Pairs Of Underpants Put On In 30 Seconds (#1)

UNDERPANTS CONTROVERSY (Please help!)

Until yesterday, Sean Kelley held the URDB World Record for Most Pairs Of Underpants Put On In 30 Seconds (9). Watch his video here.

Then, out of the blue, we received two submissions that both claim to beat Kelley’s feat. Heather Leonard and Todd DeFazio both put on 12 pairs in 30 seconds. Watch their videos above, and see their record pages here and here.

As you’ll see, DeFazio uses a very questionable technique: he has all of his underpants around his legs before the record begins.

Question: Should DeFazio’s submission be accepted? Do we make them co-world record holders? Or should we deny DeFazio and make Leonard the sole record holder?

Thanks in advance for your input, Team URDB

We made the (gulp) cover of this month’s Crochet Today. Note the world record mention at the top of the page. Read more about the feat in the magazine, and see the video here.
