Definitely. Online, there are an unknow amount of contaminants you don’t want on your body, especially near your genitals. In store, the same concerns, plus people try stuff on and who know how clean they are.
There’s no rule or law. But if you don’t wash before wear, you have no idea how many hands have touched it, how many times it was on the floor, you expect ‘straight from the manufacturer’ to be clean, but for me I usually wash everything first , just a little soap easy on the drying
Yes you are supposed to because they contain chemical remains and different debris from manufacturing process also many people touched them or even tried them before you bought…..
My mother always washed the new clothes!
I remember the vivid blue lines of dye that were on her legs from when a new pair of shorts got wet while we were on vacation. Her legs had blue marks for almost 2 weeks.
She started washing news clothes at least twice before holidays after that.

I usually wash any new clothes I get. ESPECIALLY if I buy them in a store. You have 0 idea how many people touch, cough and sneeze in a store.
And if I buy online, I’ll usually wash anyways, because factory conditions are abysmal.
You’re supposed to wash any new article of clothing.
Yes

I always do, all clothing
You should yeah, I honestly never do with clothes but I will with bed sheets or blankets and such
You should pre-wash all clothing, but underwear especially.
I’m the odd one out but I never have for new clothes
Yes, we are supposed to wash all new (washable) clothing before wearing them, and some even say that on their tags.
Absolutely. I can think of many reasons why it’s a good idea, and zero reasons not to.
I would, and I would recommend it too.
I like how underwear feels right out of the package. You lose that after the first wash.
Yes always.
I wash everything before I wear it.
If it’s an underwear emergency and you don’t have access to a machine then sure, slap it on straight from the pack else why wouldn’t you wash it.
I never do. I always wear them straight out of the package.

Wash new bed sheets as well

Why wouldn’t you?
Supposed to? Yes. Do I? No
A lot of times that I buy underwear it’s specifically because I’m out and don’t have time to do laundry.
Yes
Yes. You don’t want whatever chemicals used in the manufacturing process to touch your most sensitive areas.
A shirt or pants? Not as big of a deal.
If you’ve ever worked in retail, you’d wash EVERYTHING!
You should wash any newly bought clothing.
Yes, to remove chemical residue & starch from manufacturing.
I don’t. I honestly didn’t learn you’re supposed to until i started being on here.
Yes. They are most likely sprayed with formaldehyde.

Supposed to? Do what you want. As for me, I always wash because you never know where that fabric has been and who touched it.
Well, given you need to wash any new piece of clothing you get, including the ones that WON’T spend most of the day cradling your genitals…
Bras, underwear and towels always. As someone mentioned-add linen too. All others-I don’t.
