After rumours (and some actual proof) about retailers doing this in the past, The Today Show decided to do a bit of research and found some disturbing--and just plain gross--results. Stores that they found selling used underwear included Walmart, Target, JCPenney and Marshalls. Walwart and Marshalls were even caught caught reselling used undies after they were returned without tags.
How disgusting is this??! I actually spend a lot of money in those stores (though admittedly not on panties). But the fact that they stoop this low makes me think so much less of them.
I for one will never ever buy any form of undergarment at any of these stores. If you choose to brave it, make sure to wash the items. Repeatedly!
