Do you donate your old underwear?

[Anonymous]

I still wear it too.

If it's absolutely new or a bra that has not been worn much, I will donate. I have seen underwear for sale in local thrift stores.

Mostly my stuff gets thrown away or turned into rags.

I cut out the crotch area and then use the rest for dusting rags.

Really, I'm curious about how many people have perfectly good underwear to donate? I wear mine till it is worn out, then I throw it out.

Bras are another story, given how expensive they are. If they still are in excellent condition (but no longer fit me) I'm happy to donate them.

I think people are talking about kids' underwear that is quickly outgrown.

I believe the Planet Aid bins accept underwear, clothes with holes, etc for textile recycling.

None of you remember that Hillary donated Bill's old underwear and deducted it on their tax forms? http://www.nytimes.com/1994/04/16/us/clinton-taxes-laid-bare-line-by-line.html

If you have old cotton underwear, you can donate it to animal shelters to fashion bedding for animals.

If you have bras in good condition, consider donating them to "Support the Girls."

What? no

Do you seriously think the charity workers want to paw through your nasty old donated underwear? SERIOUSLY. Get some common sense and decency, people.

They wear plastic gloves for this reason.

Montgomery County has a textile recycling bin at the Shady Grove location. I keep a bag in my laundry room and put old, stained clothes, etc in there. I bring to Shady Grove every few months.

No.

I sold some expensive and fancy cloth diapers, though. There is a robust market for those.

This thread reminds me of the "dirty dice in the new board game" thread from like 8 years ago for some reason.
