I have no idea if this is the right forum for this, but I have to ask.
Simply put, I have an excess of underwear I can’t wear. I got some a while back to replace my worn out undies, but have since lost a fair bit of weight and as such, had to get smaller underwear. It was bad enough that I would run and my undies would start to fall off(and almost did one time).
So now I have underwear that fits me nicely, but what do I do with the big underwear. Nobody in my family is that big and I’m not sure if clothing drives really want my underwear. It is clean and fairly free of holes and tears and stains, etc.
My first time at Value Villiage I saw used, streaked underwear. And it was 99 cents. This was the early 90s! I didn’t go to another Value Villiage until earlier this year. But that story doesn’t really have a point.
Cleaning cloths are good if the people that will use them don’t mind.
More fun ideas:
My mom uses stretchy cloth to tie her tomatoes to sticks so they grow upright.
Car rags
Quilting, if it’s made of nice cloth… who will know??
You could wear it on your head next Halloween - give the kiddies a scare!
How much did you pay for the underwear? Was it really so much that you can’t write off the loss? Save them and you have a reason to gain weight, toss 'em and you can be confident you won’t need the size again.
Congrats on the weight loss, now clear out the oversized stuff!
If you give it to Goodwill or some such charity, they can’t resell it directly.
BUT, they’ll end up selling it (along with any other unusable cloth items they have) to a rag-making company. So the stuff will live on in shop towels or stuffing or ??? and the charity will derive some tiny income from them. And your local landfill is spared another couple of cubic feet of stuff.
I always found t-shirts had enough nap to make decent dusting rags, but cotton undershorts were too slick.
