Do places like goodwill accept used underwear that is in good condition?

Question

I am getting rid of a bunch of stuff and I have underwear I don't wear anymore. There are no holes or streaks or anything. Do these places accept underwear or should I just toss it?

Good lord...people that shop at Goodwill are either really poor or they are homeless. I don't think homeless people care about used panties.

For all you people saying it is nasty...what if you donate shorts that you never wear underwear with? Or what about pit-stained t-shirts. Come on people...you all have computers so you can probably afford clean underwear...but what about the people who can't?

Nevermind...went to goodwill and they do accept underwear. :)

Answer 1

Yes, they accept it.

Answer 2

Just because someone is poor does not mean they don't have any dignity. Since a new three pack of panties of Hanes or Fruit of the Loom is only a few dollars, I'm sure the less financially off will go to Goodwill for other items. Please donate new underwear and throw out the used.

Answer 3

Hmm used panties? And you think homeless people deserve them just because they cannot afford to buy new? Interesting. Please toss them honey. In the most dire of circumstances, I would not wear someone else's underwear and I'm more than sure, neither would you. Let's be honest. Just because some people are without financial means, doesn't necessarily mean they want our used panties. I'm sure most would go without if faced with the dilema! There is a point where even the under-privelaged draw the line.

Answer 4

I just read that Goodwill accepts undergarments and those that they can't resell (stains or ripped) are cut into pieces and sold to packing industries. That might be why you never see panties at their stores. They do make money from it and the packing industries turn them into packing material, so it's a great recycling process.

Answer 6

As much as I applaud your efforts to hand your clothes over to other people who can use them, I think the line stops at underwear. Even if they are clean and in good condition, most people would appreciate having their own new underwear. If you are so concerned about giving new underwear, perhaps you can buy a new pack and throw it into your package. Donating used underwear just seems inappropriate and a bit off-color to me.

Answer 7

I don't know if they accept them or not but I'd never consider donating used underwear. Bras might be fine, but certainly not panties.

Answer 8

it's not only homeless and underprivileged people who shop at goodwill. I know plenty of people who can afford new stuff that are simply cheap and prefer to shop at Goodwill.

Answer 9

they accept most anything but whod buy used underware? Most items donated to good will are sold to the textile industry for re manufacutring, if youre a hottie you can usually seel your worn undies on the net to some pervert though and donate the money to charity

Answer 10

They do purely because there are people that don't have anything. But personally, I wouldn't want to wear underwear that someone else had worn. I guess if you don't have anything else, something is better than nothing.

Answer 11

I've seen sox, tights, camesoles, slips and even some bras. But I have not ever seen panties. Think about it. Would you buy them? Or even want them for free if you didn't know who'd worn them prior? I think not. Give them to your sister or Mom or best friend if you can't stand to trash them.
