Question 1

how safe is it to wear underwear straight out of the package before washing them first?

Accepted Answer

Not great: While it probably won't kill you, it's always a better idea to wash brand new clothing prior to wearing it. Many chemicals are used in the manufacture and packaging of clothing that can cause irritant and allergic reactions, typically rashes. I recommend washing all items of clothing prior to first wearing them.

Question 2

i have been sweating excessively from my buttcheeks to my thighs recently. my pants and underwear would be damp. it has happened for 1 month straight ?

Accepted Answer

See PCP: Excessive sweating requires investigations to rule out hormonal problems or infectious diseases

Question 3

when i have erections the right sponge is longer and curved while the left is shorter and straight which i think results to my left penile curvature. can this be caused by having erections while wearing tight underwear? (ie uneven blood distribution?

Accepted Answer

: The care of your penis is not secondary to tight underwear but may be secondary to a disease called Peyronie’s disease which is a black formation in the shaft of the penis this may happen as a result of trauma in the past and the black make it larger my suggestion at this point would be to see urologist to evaluate the curvature in and evaluate for possible treatment

Question 4

is being around human feces dangerous if you are immunocompromised? my fiancs daughter hasnt learned to go. she is seeing someone but is is all over and washing her underwear could then be risky too. i want to be safe.

Accepted Answer

Depends: If child is healthy then little risk.  If child has health issues, then there could be a concern.  Hepatitis A as well as certain bacterial infections top the list of concerns.  If child has been immunized against Hepatitis A and is healthy, not much risk.  If, when washing underwear, able to soak them in solution with 1 part bleach and 9 parts water, that would kill just about everything of risk.

Question 5

is it safe to wear polyester underwear?

Accepted Answer

Probably yes: Recommended is cotton, polyester helps retain moisture which can in time cause skin fungal infections.

Question 6

i cut my bikini area shaving & was going to wear my husband's looser underwear for a few days.is it safe  to wear his or can i get any infections?

Accepted Answer

It is safe: There should be no problem wearing clean underwear if it doesn't rub and irritate the area more. You should probably put some over the counter antibiotic ointment on the cut and cover it with a bandaid or gauze to keep it clean.

Question 7

can you get herpes if someone touches there cold sore and then hands clean underwear and clothes to you? is it safe to wear them?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: It's not impossible, but the herpes virus doesn't survive for long on clothing.  Even if you put on the underwear right away, it would be unlikely that you would get herpes.

Question 8

is it straight or gay for men to enjoy anal play with dildos, vibrators, butt plugs.

also one more thing is it safe to wear butt plug whole day.

Accepted Answer

No: There are a thousand and one activities for men, women, or teens to keep them busy, learn new things, and better understand themselves and their world. Recreational insertion of manufactured objects into any hole in the body (butt or otherwise), with or without lubrication, is not regarded as a safe, natural thing to do.

Question 9

can you get anything if you wash your socks and underwear and then put them in the dresser together or should you keep them seperate after washing?

Accepted Answer

Organize: them as you wish. There should not be any problems. Best!

Question 10

so me and my sister have alike underwear and i thought hers was mine and washed in a washing machine at 70 degrees celsius and then wore it. any chance of any kind of contamination?

Accepted Answer

Contamination?...: Things one might get from doing a sibling's laundry:  get a big thank-you from the sibling if you do the laundry correctly and fold the clothes, or get yelled at for a week if you do the laundry wrong and end up shrinking  the clothes or bleaching color out... which means, always ask before doing another's laundry. Can't get much else from doing laundry or wearing laundered underwear. No worries.
