How do you get men's white y-fronts clean without using bio detergent (which they are so often allergic to) and a boil wash, which ruins the elastic ... c

If "Stain remover" and a very hot wash don't do the business, bin them and buy new.

My mother used to boil my fathers and use them as dusters once they lost their whiteness. I was always embarrassed to do her dusting with my fathers old pants.

DH is a smoothie- only wears plain black slips- and yes he has the figure for it.

Yes, I was just thinking that Jalima. They aren't that expensive that you have to hang on to them when they're old and discoloured...(the pants, that is!).

I am sure that cotton is biodegradable - it's a natural fabric.

So the bin and a trip to M&S for some new ones

And be warned Grannyknot (and others). Coloured ones just don't show marks discolouration. It's still there.

Grannyknot. I so agree with you. And if the wearer objects, then let him wash them himself!

Is there a competition on at the moment for who can start threads with the most unsavoury titles and contents??

My old feller. White cotton ones from Marks and Sparks. Always has done, always will. He can't be he only one or M and S wouldn't stock 'em.

Chucking in the bin somehow seems a bit un-ecological.

Is this a companion thread to That Other One?
Ie washing intimate parts?

They still sell them so lots of men must wear them
And as they're all cotton they must be better in very hot weather than nasty polycotton

I'd chuck them in the bin.

Who wears white Y-fronts in this day and age?
