Some people like washing their underwear by hand because they think it will be cleaner. I prefer to wash all of them by washing machine. It's troublesome for me to wash them by hand. Why not use washing machine to finish this housework?

You need not be rich to get your underwear washed.

But you can put it with other clothes and let the washing machine wash them, too

Unless it is something delicate, I think it gets cleaner and is done better in the washing machine. I am like you. I do not want to make more work than necessary. I put my more delicate items in a lingerie bag, and still wash it in the machine.

With the lingerie bag, I think the underwear will still keep a good shape after washing by the washing machine.

When i am not very busy and i have a lot of time in my hands... i make it a point to hand wash my undies... especially the bras... because they are quite delicate... and putting them in the washing machine too often would easily ruin them. But if i am in a hurry... then i just throw everything in the washing machine...

I think the main purpose of washing underwear by hand is not because it is cheaper. I think it is more of the reason that the underwear is too delicate to be washed by the machine. I know that some women's underwear is frigging expensive. And some of the the material is so thin, it may be torn during the machine wash.That That is why some people prefer to wash their underwear by hand.

If you don't think washing the underwear by hand is a hard housework, then it's OK

Hello youless. It happens to be different in my family. We don't use the washing machine to wash either underwear or socks. My wife has made it a rule for us three. So we always hand-wash them by soap. I have been used to it and think that it is a good idea this way so that no germs will get attached to the underwear whose requirement to hygiene is very high. My wife's requirement is for the good of the family. I appreciate her demanding us this way. Enjoy your life, youless.

I wash it by my hand.My mother ask me to do that.If one day i stay only myself,i will wash it my washing machine.It is easy.My mother is traditional,she think it is clean by hand.our family seldom use washing machine in summer.Summer we wash everyday,the clothing isn't many,and the clothing is light,so my mother order me to wash it by hand.This summer i wash clothing every afternoon.It is tired.My parents and younger-sister all work now.Only i also study.so the hard work is mine.

I wash all my clothing by hand, because I have not washing machine, and do not want to pay the money for using the washing machines. It's cleaner. Maybe it's all right for overcoat, but for your underwear, I think you'd better wash them by hand.

I do prefer to wash my underwears by myself other than washing machine,coz I think it's not suitable to simply drop them into the washing machine together with other clothing which will be with more bacteria & dirt on the surface.lol~~

I wonder other clothing will have more bacteria because of the outside environment.

Soaking it is a good idea

hi youless yes it makes good common sense to toss your underwear in with the rest of the wash. They will get much cleaner as you will have hotter water plus the action of the washing machine itself. much cleaner and more sanitary also.I seldom wash anything by hand now days as we have modern machines here in our apart. complex.

When its laundry day in my home, all clothes for washing will be put in the washing machine for wash. All inner garments will be in the washing machine also but seperated into a laundry net bag

i wash all my underwear in one load. i put everything in a mesh bag with a zipper. that keeps things from snagging and tugging out of shape. i can put the entire bag in the dryer to dry, too. oh, i was raised to wash your nylons by hand every time you wore them, too. this seems to be easier though.
