I bought a pair of size 7 black panties couple of weeks ago at a store miles away from home. I guess size 7 is not the same in all brands there was no way I could get them on. I was at a fast food place and decided to leave them hanging on the hook of the bathroom stall door hope someone took them home and enjoyed. What a find for someone.

Hi BobbieJoe,

I have noticed the sizes vary from maker to maker.

I hope you are able to replace those ok.

I would recommend this. Donate them!!!! If the purgers or those of us who tire of aspects of out wardrobe would dontate to Goodwill or the Salvation Army, etc., not only get the tax deduction, but it make the clothing more available to others.
Just a thought,

The only bad part of that for a closet CD is that you either have to find a Goodwill miles from home or be brave enough to pretty much come out to that person..
I mean after a few drop-offs I (personally) would worry about an opinion >_<

Hi all,

When my wife or I decide to get rid of clothing, some gets reused as cleaning rags if it's really worn or damaged.

Items still in decent shape we bag or box and donate to one of several nearby thrift stores or a rummage sale.

Some have donation containers, so we can just deposit our donation and leave.

Others have people who take the bags/boxes. They don't look inside the bags or boxes right away, just add it to the pile of other donations.

Hi again,

Good point Jadeanne and Virginia. Donations are a great idea.

Not wishing to detract from the original idea, but the comment about going to a Goodwill.......
I go quite often, usually "en drab." I have never been questioned about what I buy, in fact they clerks and I have a very fun relationship.
I am prepared with a response if anyone does ask why I am purchasing women's items, I would simply say, "Ever heard of the internet?" A couple of times I have pointed out spots on skirts or blouses, then I stated that I have a dry cleaner that can do magic on that stuff. If you really get into extended conversations unless you just want to say ":It's for me, now back off," I would say that I am buying them for our church and my (soon to be ex-wife) has a new sewing machine and we give them to the less fortunate at various times during the year. Yes, I know I will go to hell for that, but it works! I spent a nice conversation with a lovely lady in a wheel chair once in the Goodwill, we had a great time shopping together for a while! Just relax and have fun with it and like me once in a while you can "strike gold!"
"When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping!"
Love ya,
Virginia

Story time:

I my youth I collected aluminum cans aound our neighborhood, it was semi-rural. I was combing one day & I saw a paper bag. I opened it to find a nice pair of pantyhose. For me it was a prayer answered as at the time I couldn't buy them myself. They went home (they were amazingly clean/unused me thinks).

Hi all,

The last time I donated some of my femme clothing, it was the first time at what I call the "boutique" Goodwill, in a small 4 store plaza that has an Avenue and a Dots store besides.

I went to the rear of the store, rang the bell, and the man who opened the door asked if the bag had clothing in it. That's the most information I have ever been asked when donating.

I just make sure that my donations aren't in a see through bag.
