What do you do with your old and worn out underwears?

Whe my underwear get old, I just put them in the garbage... what is wrong with that?

Actually I have no idea, but I think they are still in my mum house in my wardrobe. Have to ask her:)

I just throw them away. I mean what else can you do with them?

Traditionally I was taught not to dispose woman’s underwear openly. According to the ancient believing if someone were to take and use it, say, use it to wipe something dirty like dung and sputum, then this will bring luck to the owner of the underwear. Of course scientifically the believing is not logical but psychological it does have great influence in our society. So this is a great problem to deal with this used stuff. When young I did take it seriously and kept them in the closet. But now I do not bother much about this and I simply wrap them with garbage bag and dispose them as usual.

I just throw them out in the trash. I will kinda hide them in between other things so the garbage man can't see (we have to use clear bags). By the time I am done with my old undies they are not fit for anything but the trash. LOL

HA HA HA HA HA...nice topic, secretbear! I think when I was still a kid, my mother used them as rags or gave them away to the poor. I don't have any bad undies yet 'coz I bought brand new ones to Finland about 8 months ago, but I THINK I'm going to use them as rags later on he he he he he...

mine goes in the bin, but i have a friend who uses hers as dusters. Now, im broad minded but dusting with a pink thong takes some imagination blessed be

LOL once all my old underwear is past its wear by date, I simply chuck it out. It goes into the rubbish, same as the rest of the trash from the house.

I trash them. No use holding onto them if I don't use or need them anymore.

I sell them on craigslist and make a nice amount of money.

Morning secret bear. It is an interesting discussion of yours. Well I think that you can use them as rags while you are doing some cleaning job at home, which is very useful and what is the most important is that it is still reused to its fullest and good to the raw materials which are becoming fewer and fewer. I hope that you will fully use of them without putting them in the wardrobe, which is a kind of waste.

If you have some fancy one, a pillow would be cute! I cut the cotton ones up in little 3" squares and use them for wiping the paintbrush when I'm oil painting. For watercolor brushes, I just use a tissue, but there are never enough nice soft rags for oil colors. I just save the softest part and throw the rest away. It would be funny to imagine what neighbors might think if they went through your trash and found cut up undies. I caught a neighbor going through our trash once! She made up some lie about having accidentally thrown away a card she had meant to keep. Yeah, right, this is the same woman who used to take my clothes out of the dryer before they were done so she could dry her own clothes free on my dime! One time I caught her folding my undies! I was astonished. I had to wash them all over again, as I didn't want her fingerprints on my clothes. I asked what are you doing with my undies and she said they were "dry enough!" The condo building where we lived then had 8 families and we shared a huge laundry room off to the side. Not any longer! The next day hubby and I went and bought a washer/dryer and had them installed in the corner of our bathroom. It made it kind of cramped, but nobody would put their hands on our clean laundry any more.

throw them away. I would never make anything out of them. That's disgusting. I would never donate them as that is also disgusting. I throw them away. here's some stuff you could do with underwear in space... http://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/k-4/home/wear_feature.html

You got me thinking about my undies!! I don't actually know what i've done with mine. LOL. I think there is an undies thief in our neigborhood. I mean, i do have more than 7 pairs before. and i am constantly buying new ones. what happened to the old ones i'm boggled!

I simply throw them in the trash..Usually if mine get worn..they are good for nothing...not even for use as a rag..LOL

I usually tear them up and make them into a duster (yes, kinda like a little pillow)and then throw it away later. What do you plan to do with your collected old undies? I wouldn't pass them on to anyone..then what's the point of holding on to them?

Why should it be embarassing to throw away? It's not like someone is checking out your garbage... Anyway, I throw away my old underwear, or if it's winter, I burn it in my stove.

I don't throw out my undies until they actually have holes in them! it is really nice for a woman to put on lovely new underwear but at the same time, they're there to cover your butt! Seriously. Also, it's good to keep old underwear for 'that time of the month'. I find it hard to throw away old undies sometimes because I grow attached to some of them. I always buy Bonds undies and I find that they last a long time.

I throw them away as it is a guy thing but my wife buys a better brand of ladies underwear and she sends them to the Philppines...jockey is a good brand and once she was visiting her sister ner nephew was in the room and he was wearing her jockey underwear as his mother could not wear them...she had a great laugh... when louella goes to the philippines she sends a lot of clothes to her relatives and even the guys ..like son in laws of our neices whear the flip flots, sandals..etc..In japan a lot o japanese men wore women's slippers..lol...smaller feet.. in japan there is three sinzes of Propolastics..small, medium and emperor..but in the US i only see one kind..men here would be most embarrassed to ask for small johny rubber..(safeP) ..we used to buy a geneeric brand..all in white box..this was for cheap (f#*$ers) lol

haha.. of coz i wun wanna keep them still :) LOL.. i would throw it away.. Since we be throwing together with the trash, so y will it be embarassing?? Unless sumone is stalking u and will find wat u throw as trash?? hehe.. If worse come to worse, just burn it away.. haha :)
