Do you wash brand new underwear before wearing it?

Poll question: Do you wash brand new underwear before wearing it?

[LeftyMom]

1. Yep

because I really don't want the dyes, sizing and who knows what else touching my naughty bits. Also, in the case of non-bagged undies, who knows who has touched them in the store?

[undeterred]

2. But if there were 5 pairs in a plastic Hanes package, they're ok, right?

Only machines have touched them. :scared:

[LeftyMom]

3. Yeah, but the bleach and such...

I wash *everything* before I wear it any longer than it takes to try on. I'm a bit of a neatnik though. :shrug:

10. If you are a female, you must immediately mail all the pairs you

have worn to an undisclosed address. PM me for it. P.S. some women supplement their incomes this way.

14. Some women throw their panties at Tom Jones

which is something I've never understood.

4. Yes absolutely

You just never know and the place underwear goes is very personal.

5. Other: I wash all clothing after purchase and before wearing

Who the hell knows what may have happened to the sizing mixture - I could end up with sizing up my wazoo!

6. I would still like more feedback... what about bras?

8. If you wash your underwear after use, you have to touch it.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Touching underwear........!?!?!?!?

9. Yes, in case any sweat from the sweatshops it is made in got on

it. Besides all new cotton things are covered with lint, which somehow magically finds its way past the waistband and right into your navel. This happens even when Democrats are in office.

11. I'd like to proudly step up onto the

podium to receive my gold medal in the TMI category for myself and on behalf of the other two DUers who go commando!

12. THat reminds me it's time for the biweekly lounge underwear poll and

and google image store shopping trip. :evilgrin:

13. not an option I could live with

but to each his or her own~!

[Nicole]

17. cute dog! (answer to question = it depends).

Plain-old Hanes in the plastic bag = No

Single Undies = Yes. (especially from Victoria Secret or other undie stores).


If there is a remote chance that anyone has tried them on, they go straight into the wash. (Not that I'd buy undies that were obviously worn, but you never know).
