Do You Wash New Clothes Before You Wear Them?

[allcapitan]

I don't know if this is being a little too cautious or not, but I've got a bunch of new clothes as christmas presents: underwear, pajamas and sweaters. Do you all wash new clothes before you wear them?

I think I will do this with the underwear and pajamas. Is this being overly cautious? lol. I know this will get some sarcastic responses, but it's actually a serious question of mine. Thanks!

Id wash underwear. Not pants, shirts, anything else really.

 

[erdawe]

Yes unless they're sweaters, coats, or something not very easily washed. Usually soak colored and unsanfordized jeans.

yea besides raw denim i wash everything before I wear it... gets any shrink out of the garment, and makes it smell clean and cuddly soft

 

[brohymn]

Cautious in what way? What are you afraid of?

I don't wash anything before I wear it unless I want to shrink it.

I would if I didn't have to wrangle up 2$, and try to come up with a full load of clothes.

Not if they're fairly new on the rack or just came in, yes if they're sales **** on deep discount that have been handled by tons of dirty ass fools in LA.

I do with underwear/undershirts

 

[AntiHero84]

Definitely with underwear/undershirts.

It depends with dress shirts. If they're wrinkled and creased, I'll throw them in the wash.

Never with sweaters.

i dont. does this make me disgusting and horrible?

 

[Clench Million]

no, because I'm lazy

 

[dusty]

I usually intend to but no.

 

[SeriousBusiness]

I do wash. Pretty much everything, although I don't bother with something like a new jacket. But pants, shirts, underwear, yeah I wash.

 

[MCsommerreid]

Yes, but because I absolutely hate any kind of starch, sizing, or stiffness to my wears. No real fear of creepy crawlies, because I figure by the time said piece of clothing reached me even the herpe would have died off the article.

I wash things if I want them to shrink, I don't wash things that I don't care about as much. In this weather I don't do nearly as much washing. I have loads of underwear, socks, and undershirts... And I don't wash sweaters and things every wear (every 2 or 3) so I usually have enough stuff for like a week and a half or 2 weeks between washes. I'm a student, whatever.

Unless it's underwear, as almost everyone else has stated, yes that gets a wash.
