Are your panties past thier prime? - Big Big Forums

did you do the panties surveys? just curious

Mine lasted fine for the extent of the testing period and now they look as though they are 6 years old instead of 6 months old! I also experimented with the same name brand bras; bought 3 @ $22 each so I could see for myself how long they looked nice. I bought them w/ I started the panty survey and now they are no longer nice either. (guess I'll go back to cheap ones)

the undies went in the dryer every week
the bras were hung to dry

HA HA ! The title to this post made me come in. Yes, my panties are past their prime, but not ones from the survey. I guess getting panties past their prime is better than getting my panties in a bunch. LOL.

It may be the soap you use or hard water.
You might want to have your water tested.
My clothes never look nice after about 6-8 months, until we got a whole house water conditioner, now my clothes last much longer. I use less soap, Surf/All, and I don't have to use as much lotion, since my skin is not as dry.

I use a liquid soap with no dyes or perfumes (sensitive)
yep...it's hard water. I'm in an apt bldg and someone else in the laundry commented. I tried one of those oxygen additives, no help. Dingy-that's what they are! Guess I'll hunt for some non-clorine laundry stuff

Just like Pittsburgh, PA water: the pits. Same problem here. Old building, hard water, not much I can do about it.

If you can find Iron Out or Yellow Out that will whiten your clothes.
You are suppose to let you clothes soak in for like 10 minutes then wash. Although I have let things soak longer.
My whites were really dingy and this really them.
Both products are made by the same company and I actually think they are the same thing just different names on the bottles.
It is powder comes in a plastic container.

No survey panties for me. Which survey group hd that offer? I applied for a dog survey today and was rejected.

I only wear Hanes Her Way Stretch cotton and they are in bad shape. One day one program had a points offer for a Hanes purchase and I clicked buy but they were all sold out. Bummer. Wal-Mart doesn't carry them.
