Planet Aid is a creepy organization and not bc they take underwear.
They are? Why?
Planet Aid is a cult and doesn't actually donate the clothes it collects:

If you have clothing items like underwear or that are just too stained/tatty to donate, find a textile donation bin:

We don't need to put this stuff in a landfill which is were about 80% goes now.

Even new undies with the tag still on or in a pack can't be donated at most Salvation Army type places. I worked at a donation center as a sorter and we had to trash those items.
If they really are new, please take them to either the homeless shelter or hospital. We had a young girl start volunteering with us who informed us that both of those places are always in desperate need of new underwear. I believe she said that used couldn't be donated due to health reasons, but she'd volunteered in college at a rape crisis center and they learned that most rape victims come into the ER alone and then leave wearing scrubs without undies.

Before I moved here from Africa I used to buy used underwear all the time! There was this market place that sold only second hand clothes from America. I dont know if the clothes were meant to come as donation and were diverted for someones profit but the important part was the underwear was good quality. Just a quick hand wash with bleach and you were set for a while. Also they were very cheap compared to the brand new ones sold in the stores which would fall apart after a few washes because of the cheap quality. So go ahead, donate your underwear someone somewhere will use them.

I heard from a colleague that the waste transfer center no longer does this, although I have not been over to confirm.

Hi! I am poor, and buy my clothes at thrift stores. I buy clean, good looking bras for $2. I have also purchased spanks type garments but never actual underwear for myself.
However, yes, for the kids, I have bought clean, good looking boxer shorts at the thrift store. No of course nothing ratty and not signs of use.

You know what's nice to do, though? Buy underwear on clearance (sometimes $1.00) new...then donate. Always, always a need for children's sizes. I buy multipacks from TJ Maxx for under $3.00 and pass these along to a clothing charity or thrift store.
Also for a while, I was buying same multipacks for DD5 and I'd get the size wrong or DD didn't like the fit, so I'd reseal the pack, write a note (-1, rest never worn, new) and donate.

No. I only donate bras if I've worn them a couple of times and don't like them. If they aren't like new they go in the garbage.
