Of course! Who knows what sweaty fcuker has tried them in before?

Stuff like underwear, that I buy in cheap multI-packs in Penneys and that has gone through god knows how many sets of hands in dodgy third world factories - definitely.

Other clothes - usually but not always.

No, never.

But now I feel like I should..

I don't because I'm not crazy.

Rologyro

People who do this have too much time on their hands, and need to get over themselves.

Definitely underwear (socks/undies/bras).

And everything else too if I had time to before I needed to wear it

Who knows how many people have tried on whatever you bought before you got it? I also do the same if I buy new sheets etc.

And as a woman, the AMOUNT of makeup left on clothes that others have tried on can be mank. If I see badly stained items on display I always bring it to the attention of one of the shop assistants.

You can't wash away the feeling of shame lads.

I only read during the week, that people do this as if it was normal...and I'd never thought about it before.

Will I change?

Probably not.

I wash everything before first use. Not so much because of other people handling the clothes. It's more to do with the amount of pesticides and surplus dye in them.
The containers of clothes are treated with pesticides before they are shipped. If I go into a place like Penney's I have to leave after a short while because my eyes water and I start coughing.
Would hate to work there and breathe in the rubbish every day.

Yes. This.

I have heard of people doing this, it never occurred to me beforehand though. I feel a bit uneasy thinking about people trying on the clothes and whoever made/handled them but not enough to wash them before I wear them, I'm too lazy for that shyte.

Never have and never will. And never had a problem.

Makes me laugh that people are saying “Jaysus you wouldn’t know who touched them” when most people I know would happily go out on a Saturday, pull someone and stick body parts into each other without much of a second thought.

TheMilkyPirate

Im 27 and would consider myself to be very hygienic and I've never done this. I haven't died yet so I think I'll be fine.

The 'dirtier' the better in that scenario!

I do it for anything new for the baby, purely because of the chemicals used on them, and she's prone to getting patches of irritated skin. For my own stuff I dont bother.

I think people are worried about pesticides and foreigners pawing clothing now. We’ve moved on.

I’ll worry about this when I hear a case about someone getting an illness from newly bought unwashed clothing.

For some fun, take a package of condoms, walk to a member of the staff and ask for the dressing room for them, as you would like to try them on.
Else I think the chemicals keep the clothes longer fresh so don't wash them before wearing.

Peatys

No, never gave it much thought.

retro:electro

No and it would never even occur to me to do so. As far as I'm concerned, clothes fresh from the shop are clean. My sister washes all the baby clothes first but that's different.

No problem, you can wear the store sock.

r93kaey5p2izun

Yes because of the chemicals they are sprayed with. I worked for years in a major department store and you had to leave the area after a new shipment was opened due to the fumes.

Ah yes. And washing them in more chemicals should get rid of that.

Well I'm allergic to many things and react to new clothes but not to my one particular washing powder. So yes. Washing them gets rid of the problem chemicals (insecticides).

It's kinda like "I'd never take anti depressants and I avoid antibiotics" - then take a load of coke and pills of a Saturday night. :pac:
