Do you wash your own inner wears?

I learned washing my clothes when I was in grade school. That was when my mother went abroad. Since then I would wash my own under wears. I'm just wondering because I know some people who bring their laundry clothes to the services including their undies. Do you wash you own under wears?

I wash all of my clothes. I usually do all of my loads together though, separating the colored ones from the whites. I have a family of three, so I do ours all together. It saves, time, money, detergent, fabric softener, water and on the heating and electric bill.

I wash my own underwear whenever I take a bath. I use my washed panty as a body scrub then I rinse it and then I let it dry. I wash my bra in a separate laundry because bras have more delicate fabric so to maintain it's shape and it's elasticity.

My underwear is quite delicate and I would not trust to wash it in a commercial machine. It would cause holes in it. I will put it in our own washing machine where I have it set to cold water wash, but the commercial machines are either hot or warm, too strong for bras and panties. Not only that, the soap they use is suitable for rough stuff. Even when we stayed in the motel for three weeks, I washed my undies in the basin and hung them in the bathtub to dry.

I do all my own washing and that of my family.I always have done so,never used the launderette or any other washing service.It is tradition in all english families most married woman wash all their famillies washing probably you are at college or something like that.

Ofcourse I will , I'm shy to others if I let them wash my inner wears. I also laundry my own clothes. But if no time for it I will pay someone to do the washing but I exclude my own inner wears. I will clean it in my own so embarrasing for me if others do it.

If I were to send my clothing out to a service to get washed,which I have never done before, then yes, I would wash my own underwear and lingerie before I would let anyone else wash them..just to weird to let others wash my bloomers..

In my country most people wash all of their own clothes at home. That is unless the clothes require a special process called dry cleaning. Some people will hire others to iron for them, though. I wash everything at home in a washing machine. Sometimes I hang them to dry, other times I use an electric clothes dryer.That everything includes washing my under wear. I bet it is strange for people in the United States to admit that there is any other way to do it.

Yes, I do. I have been doing it since the time I have learned to do my stuffs. I wash all my under garments myself. And I mostly hand wash them.

I do wash my underwear and clothes. I started to do this when I was in my late teens. I think that it is a good idea for one to do his own washing, especially when it comes to underwear and socks.

my wife is the one who washes our clothes. but when i was still single i started washing my clothes when i travelled with my father in a band. i dont want other people handling my inner wears so i wash it using my hands. i just soak them for an hour with soap and wash it after wards. now that i am married my wife washes all my clothes and help out when it is time to hang it.

i started doing my laundry in my teens and still do it now.. i dont have the money to take it to some one else to do it and even if i did it would seem like a waste of money since i have my own washer and dryer at home..

yes i almost always do wash it when i take a bath. that is the first thing i wash when i am in the bath tub. that is what my mother taught me to do especially when we were younger and stained them. thats just how we did it. it gets the stain out before you put it in the washer. maria
