Do You Wash New Clothes?

Rissask · 01-05-2009

My co-worker's wife works at a chain clothing store in a mall here, she just started about 2 months ago.

He was telling us this story today- apparently every Tuesday morning shortly after they open, a man (in his forties or fifties, she says) comes in to try on clothes....

and it's a ladies clothing store (Cotton Ginny).

So let this be a lesson to you- always wash your new clothes when you bring them home!

I hardly ever do....but I think I might start.

Yikes... I never do! But I'm thinking there aren't many men out there with my "figure type"

Can the germs get through your skin? Or are you suggesting we just not lick our new clothes without washing them?

the only thing I wash before wearing is new, unpackaged underwear... like at VS where everything is out on tables and in bins and people try it on...

Jacko... it's not germs that are the problem. It's cooties.

(Or else what he might be doing while he's trying on the clothes. {shudder})

You try on your underwear? I just trust the size tag.

What grosses me out are those stickers in the crotch of bathing suits. I always leave the undies on when trying on suits.

When wearing something, it's briefs.. I like the loose feel of boxers, but they get caught up in my pants...

melliedee · 01-05-2009

What's with those underwear with butt cups? I'm sure that's not the word...

Rissask · 01-05-2009

uh, yeah you are SUPPOSED to leave your undies on, Mel!!

butt cups? I don't want to know.

Susie said what I was afraid of....what is he doing in there while he is trying them on...ewwww!

always, always, always... then I have to tuck in the panties, cuz they're always bigger than the bathing suit bottoms...

I can see that... well, not literally...

I like a guy in boxers only... if I see a guy wearing briefs, especially the white ones, I always think "Homer Simpson" even if he's 6'3" and weighs 120 pounds....

Sure, you and I think that. But that's what the nasty sticker is for!

I think they're supposed to be some kinda cheek enhancers?

I used to work in the garment industry here in LA.

PEOPLE... wash your new clothes before you wear them!!!

Especially if they are produced in another country. There are all sorts of nasty chemicals in the dyes and the preservatives they use in shipping!!

Most clothes travel in container by boat that are on the open sea for a couple of weeks to a month before it gets here. Most of them leak a little which is why they add the preservatives and mold inhibitors, etc.

I have seen everything from workers getting rashes to major alllergic reations and all the production teams agreeded that you need to wash them first.

EDIT: And that's aside from all the nastiness above...
