I love putting on new clothes that still feel new (pulling off the tags and stickers). Clothes that have been washed don't seem new tome anymore, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-new-undergarments-before-you-wear-them#post-95885 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 00:29:16 +0000 joyjoy 95885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@eeh: I try on clothing if I can't tell from the hanger how it'll look on me, but I've *never* tried on underwear before. The first time I tried on a bra was when my boobs grew from this pregnancy. </p> <p>I wash all undergarments before I wear them, but I've worn items I've purchased online before washing because they're wrapped in plastic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-new-undergarments-before-you-wear-them#post-95827 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 20:45:17 +0000 Clementine 95827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think i saw that same OPRAH episode. i'd never wear underwear without having washed it first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-new-undergarments-before-you-wear-them#post-95391 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 14:28:46 +0000 mediagirl 95391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always!! You never know where those undies have been before you put them on your private areas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-new-undergarments-before-you-wear-them#post-95363 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 14:10:05 +0000 banana 95363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know that underwear can obviously leave bodily fluids (EW EW) but what about bras??? Do non-pregnant women's boobs leak on a daily basis? I never saw anything leak out of me but who knows about others?? EW! I"m grossing myself out talking about this. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-new-undergarments-before-you-wear-them#post-95355 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 14:08:08 +0000 Modern Daisy 95355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I def need to be better about this. I dont' feel a need to wash clothes or bras first, but underwear yes. I do make an exception for online purchases though when clearly they came straight from the factory and are wrapped in plastic. Workers may have touched them, but I'm not so germophobic that it bothers me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-new-undergarments-before-you-wear-them#post-95317 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 13:44:32 +0000 BSB 95317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: Eww. Very Eww! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-new-undergarments-before-you-wear-them#post-95313 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 13:41:12 +0000 banana 95313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@eeh: I don't try on VS underwear because I know exactly what size and cut I want. But I do wash after I buy because who KNOWS how many people tried it on before me. Clothes-wise, it depends on the fabric. I figure at least I have a barrier of protection (bra/underwear) when I try on clothes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-new-undergarments-before-you-wear-them#post-95312 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 13:39:10 +0000 eeh 95312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm curious how many of you try on underwear (or any article of clothing) before you buy it because you've already encountered the germs when you were trying it on which kind of defeats the purpose of washing it, right? </p> <p>Before you go and assume I'm the yucky girl, I DO wash things before I wear them. I'm just curious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-new-undergarments-before-you-wear-them#post-95309 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 13:38:28 +0000 banana 95309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: That's what I thought too. Common sense right? That is, until I found out a co-worker of mine told me how she takes off her underwear to try on underwear at Victoria's Secret. EW! I buy VS underwear all the time!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-new-undergarments-before-you-wear-them#post-95308 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 13:37:23 +0000 autumnlove 95308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-new-undergarments-before-you-wear-them#post-95287 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 13:25:21 +0000 regberadaisy 95287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wash EVERYTHING before I wear it or use it.</p> <p>People are gross so I don't want their germs on me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-new-undergarments-before-you-wear-them#post-95272 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 13:09:34 +0000 BSB 95272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: I do, too. ): I would think it's common sense to keep your underwear on when trying on underwear or bikini bottoms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-new-undergarments-before-you-wear-them#post-95133 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 10:53:40 +0000 pastemoo 95133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pipers Mommy: me too.<br /> :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-new-undergarments-before-you-wear-them#post-95125 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 10:47:58 +0000 Pipers Mommy 95125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: me too!

I do wash all underwear, but not always clothes (especially if it is dry cleaning only. I don't want to pay for dry cleaning before I even wear it!). Maybe I'll start now though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-new-undergarments-before-you-wear-them#post-94939 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 07:51:17 +0000 MrsBrewer 94939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was all underwear before I wear them.

I think about all of the nasty, dirty feet that probably tried on the shoes before me. I always ask for a new pair if they have it available. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-new-undergarments-before-you-wear-them#post-94406 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 18:49:51 +0000 MsMini 94406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wash everything before wearing it!
