Sheets are fine they can be washed / bleached.

I would not buy used underwear (new at the thrift store is fine) or shoes that appear to be really used, because of foot problems. I'm more careful about items that can't be washed or cleaned easily than ones that can be

I wouldn't buy pillows or any furniture with stuffing, like a couch due to fear of bed bugs.

Anything you buy has been tried on by others. In stores, online. Get real.

A lot of people mentioned they wouldn’t buy bras, as if they were the same as underpants. There are no mucous membranes involved in bras—it’s the same skin as your thighs, arms, stomach, or back. So calm the eff down about buying thrifted bras.

I have worn dead peoples socks and underwear.

But used Ben Wa balls are a no no

Please donate clean salvageable socks and underwear that isn't stained. It is our number one request from clients with clothing vouchers. We wash all of it with bleach but we don't get nearly enough and have to buy new underwear. They get one pair every three months. Awful, I know, but we can't afford to buy more. I volunteer at a food and clothing pantry so I've experienced this.

Teacher in a Title 1 school. Please consider donating new or gently used underwear to our school. We keep a supply on hand.

I also shop clearance and get new packs underwear and take to school and or donate to a clothes pantry

Where are these two places? I have good men's underwear I don't need, that I can wash in my Miele Little Giant in really, really hot water, but no chlorine bleach.

No shoes because I find it gross.
