Do you wash underwear before wearing ?

[Chocolate Moose]

I was in a store the other day and a shopper refused to buy something that was sitting on top; she insisted on taking one that was in a drawer, saying that "everyone had touched it".

I just assumed that people wash their purchases before use; is that incorrect ?

I wash ( or dryclean) every thing before I wear it, especially underwear, even if it comes in a package.

Yes, I do too.
They have preservatives in the fabrics that make them stiffer & to keep them fresh like. I think they use some form of formaldehyde.

ALWAYS!!! I always wash my undies, socks, pj's & bras in warm water to (but not all together). Undies are always washed alone & bras to. Socks & pj's can be washed together. Don't ask why I am this way........

I'm Horrible At Laundry. More Like Lazy. I Wash My Bras/underwear/tshirts All In The Same Load. Jeans All In The Same Load, Towels And Socks In The Same Load. I Know I Should Seperate Colors...etc. But Hell, There's Only 2 Of Us. I'm Not Going To Wash A Whole Load For A Couple Items.

Yes - but I have a lot of bras so I may do 10 - 12 at the time. If I only need to do a couple I just hand wash.

I have a front load washer so it will recognize how much water to use when it is a small load and there is a "handwash" cycle.
