Washing Underwear.

Hanes suggests washing white cotton underwear in warm water, and tumble dry on medium heat. They suggest the same for colored underwear. I always wash everything in cold water. It's a habit I have after accidentally putting in light tans with some color loads and sometimes other times with white/light loads. Cold water, as far as I know, is safer in terms of discoloration.

I live alone and always put off doing my laundry. I run out of pants before I run out of underwear. It's a rare occasion for me to have all of my underwear clean. It's rather exciting when I do! Like today! I suspect I'm not normal in this respect, nor in the fact that now that I see all of my underwear lined up, I own only one true pair of tighty whities. Only one, plain white cotton brief. I go through white briefs way too fast. I don't stain my underwear that badly, or that frequently, but when they're not pristine, I throw them away. Gray, black, or any other color, I let them discolor, and am slow to throw away. I think I need to buy a Hanes white multipack soon.
