This is so gross I dont even know what to say.

Airing out smelly panties before putting it back on display.

Oh gross! I can't believe they would take back items with no tags.

I've always washed undies before wearing, not for that reason but there's a possibility they've been tried on in the store.

and goodness only knows who touched them.. I'm a total germophobe.. unless they are in a sealed package, I definitely wash them first

so glad I wash all underwear and bathing suits before I wear them, this is beyond nasty!

in canada it IS against the law to return used underwear.

That's pretty gross. At least Saks and JCrew may not have resold them.

I recall many years ago.....my friend's brother bought a pack of underwears...when he opened the pack, one of them was worn....it was dirty....very disgusting indeed.

Most UK all underwear is sold with a plastic strip. Once the plastic strip is removed (even whilst still in the shop) it can't (or shouldn't be) be sold.

Also, SAs in Topshop are also trained to 'sniff' trous/leggings etc to check if they have been worn :true: .

Wow, I have no words. This practice is far more gross than I can comprehend.

ita in the UK they seem to be a bit stricter with these sort of things, thats not to say these things done happen though. I havent seen any SA sniff clothing but I have definetly seen SAs in the UK inspect clothing well when you return stuff. I dont blame them, some people are so nasty.
