Do you wash new underwear before wearing it?

[MCgrease08]

Pretty simple question: when you buy new skivvies do you launder them before you wear them for the first time or do you just throw them on right out of the bag?

Bonus question for the sake of discussion: what does the lady in your life say about it?

Hell no. That’s what my wife is for!

My dad told stories of sanitary conditions of foreign factories. That's enough detail for this post. He had to get new overseas one time and did not have time to wash. There was a reaction. I choose not to roll the dice.

Wife: Same

Some folks try them on and put them back on the shelf or hanger. Eww.

sometimes/usually. If I need them NOW, I wont hesitate to wear them out of the bag. But I prefer laundered.

Lessons learned in boot camp.
New clothes are dirty clothes.

Never once have I washed new clothes before wearing. 63 years and no crabs yet.

In general, millinery supplies sit for months before a rudimentary rinse (depends on individual factories) then cutting and sewing.
Sometimes the bolts are even trucked in on flatbeds, and only tarped against the elements.
Who knows what kind of mold or bacteria could lie in wait for your buddies.
Wash 'em, and make it hot, if possible.

Yes. My wife will not even allow me to put on a new pair of socks until they’ve been washed, plus, I’m a germ-o-phobe to begin with, so if my wife wasn’t around, I’d have to at least find a temporary girlfriend to wash them.

People that wear new unwashed underwear are the same people that like pineapple on pizza. Same kind of people that eats a whole banana when everybody know 1/2 is plenty.
Savages!
