Wash and Wear/Wear and Wash Poll

[Abbey Normal]

I recently bought some sleepwear, and as is my custom, washed it before I wore it. I wondered if I am unusual for doing this, or is it common?

If you buy clothes that are on the hanger, folded, or otherwise unpackaged, do you wash them before wearing, or do you just throw them on? Do you think about all the people who may have tried on those jeans or pj's before you took them home? Skin diseases, body odor, etc.

Or does it not concern you?

I wash *everything* before I wear it..thus the reason I'm constantly doing aundry, I guess.

My wife washes stuff before she wears it - gets on ME when I don't.

I don't wash before I wear, but I'm a grotty college student. Or at least I was. Now I'm just grotty.

I never even thought about washing stuff before you wear it.

Wash? Isn't that the same as letting them lay on the floor a few days and then turning them inside-out when you need a change?

Heh, I can't remember the last time I heard it. It's a very Valley girl type word, isn't it?

I think doing that is safer than wearing clothes tried on by the general public. At least they are my own germs.
