Should I wash new underwear before wearing it?

[Pray To Jesus]

Or is it not necessary?

Ask Jesus.

 

[nickbits]

I don't.

 

[olds]

The only thing I don't wash before wearing are shoes.

 

[LikeLinus]

I do because I wear hilfiger and such boxers which are typically on hangers at places like Macy's. So people are able to touch them and I always wash them first.

Same as olds though. I wash everything before wearing it for the most part.

 

[Zeze]

I don't.

 

[MovingTarget]

Nah.

I always do. So much clothing is made in dirty factories in 3rd world countries. Who knows how many rats and cockroaches were crawling on your clothes before you finally got them.

You should be proud ... you are becoming the new SE and Neckbeard ... combined!

I don't know about before wearing them but you should definitely wash them after.

 

[SirStev0]

I just toss them one. Who cares?

I've seen more rats and roaches in the US than in the third world.

i had always heard there were chemicals added to close to keep them safe from pests during transport, as well as starches or similar to keep them unwrinkly and 'fresh' looking. plus, they just feel weird. maybe that's just me, but i never wear new clothes w/o washing first.

A girl I knew had that issue with a bra she bought, had a nice rash on her chest because of it.

Just do a visual inspection first.....if you don't see rat pellets, skid marks, or insect parts on them, they are good to go without washing.

I never have, and my junk is still intact.

New underwear is just re-packaged underwear that has been slightly used. just sayin'

If you get your "new" underwear from Goodwill or Salvation Army, then I would say washing first would be a good thing.
:biggrin:

We're not as hungry as they are.

Why the hell wouldn't you?

If you are capable of doing it, can afford it etc, then do it.

I make my own underwear.
