I want to take a survey by way of readers responding in the “comments.” I’m curious. When you buy new underwear, how many people feel that it is important that you wash them before wearing them, and why or why not? I personally do not believe they need to be washed first. In fact, I can’t wait to put them on. I’d wear them home from the store if they’d let me. Why wash them? Are you afraid that someone at the factory wore them around for a day before putting them in the package?
