"To wash first or wear right away, that is the question"

12 May

I have a decision to make.

I believe most of us guys don’t do laundry until we absolutely need to.  In other words, as long as we have clean underwear available, why do laundry?

Recently I came into a few new pairs of boxers.

Actually, that sounds wrong on multiple levels.

Basically my friend bought the wrong size boxers, and rather than returning them, he offered them to me.

I accepted his offer, and then had to decide whether or not I wanted to wash the underwear before wearing for the first time.   I remembered back to one time I bought boxers from Target, didn’t wash first, and just wore ‘em right away.

Shortly thereafter, and perhaps coincidentally, I noticed some “redness” around my areas, during the “Scabies Scare of ’08.”

Relax.  I didn’t, and DON’T have scabies, and this very minor redness went away quickly, in just a few days.

Anyway, those boxers I purchased were not sold wrapped in plastic, but these new ones are.

To wash first or wear right away, that is the question.

Right now I plan to wash them with my next laundry load, but once I’m down to my last clean pair of underwear maybe I’ll change my tune……..although it’d probably be good for the new boxers to get to know my other clothes, and spend some time in the washer and dryer with them.
