EEEWWWW - Retailers caught restocking used womens underwear
 
The Today Show did an investigation at 8 mainstream/upscale retailers returning used bras and panties. They did one run with tags removed as if worn, and one run with the same and mineral oil 'stains'.

On the first run 6 out of 8 restocked the 'used' items.
On the second run 4 out of 8 restocked the 'soiled' items.:eek:

I am so glad that as a guy I buy my underwear in a wrapper.

From here

If this were Japan, they'd use the returned items to stock vending machines.

I'm just thinking that if women got smart, they'd buy their lingerie in plastic bags, too. Maybe only have samples hanging. I assume women try on bathing suits over their clothing, but do they try on panties in a store?

they have wax paper liners that are mildly adhesived to the crotchal region of bathing suit bottoms

I buy panties in plastic packs, and I wash bras beore I wear them. The thrift store here sells used undies. I never saw the charm, myself.

Department stores don't have the underwear in plastic bags but hanging on hangers or folded in bins. I buy my underwear from Victoria's Secret, and the stores have them folded in drawers or trays on top. They only come in plastic bags if ordered through mail.

In response to used bras/underwear, I thought they could not be returned unless not worn?!!??

Same here - I'd be like "I am NOT touching that shit no way, no how."

Where is Zen when you need him? What are the odds that a female cellar poster has bought some of them?
