So people out here let underwear marinate in the hamper for a week before washing em? Especially women give that they have random dischargesSure, if you only have one pair. What the hell y’all think is going to happen to underwear if they sit in the hamper for a week before you do laundry? Science based answers, not culturally passed down folktales and beliefs
My mom did, especially when we were dead broke.
My grandma never used a washing machine at all, even when she had access to one lol, she hand washed and hung all her clothes.
I’m 100% African American on both sides. I see this as a poverty/rural upbringing thing more than a ‘cultural’ thing, but folks get online and do the most with something as simple as this.
