For Tackle it Tuesday and Talk About it Tuesdays meme (TIT for TAT) I tackled my underwear drawer, as I was tackling my dresser earlier right before my eyes I saw three drawers full of undergarments. I started sorting them out to the ones I use frequently (my favorites) and organize them to those I use going out and ones I use at home. Yes I have separate underwear at home and going out! Yes, I am an underwear freak, if you want to put it that way. But no I won’t show you the pictures because it’s bit private (hahahaha!) and I wanna keep my privacy or at least my undergarments private. Hahahaha!
No they are not my underwear those were displays on an underwear shop here. I am not that bold and would be too embarrassed to display mine on public! After sorting them out, I was left with two drawers and another full of underwear’s I don’t plan to use anymore for: a) my boobs got bigger some are too tight already to hurt my tender bossoms! (HA!); b) some have loose garters, holes and stains that I don’t want to use anymore and ready for throwing!
1) make them throw pillow fillings to make them more fluff
2) make new throw pillows or display pillows (different size and shapes)
3) make some rags
4) and for those crafty enough people out there make some rag dolls or stuff toys filling
B) Donate to homeless people. Yes, this can be an option too. I would never thought of until recently I met my older sisters landlady. I was helping my sister move out and I found a box full of underwear so I asked her what she will do with it. She said she will leave it there because the landlady collects old underwear’s. “WHAT!” to my surprise. Well, a valid non-perverted reason behind this was her landlady accommodates poor, street, and homeless children every week at her place and gives them stuff she and her friends do not use but are still in good condition.
So what do you think? Am I genius or what? I bet you haven’t thought much about them right? But really how about you, what do you do with your old underwear’s?

I usually cut them up and toss them out. The bras just end up in the clothing donation bin.
I lived in Manila in the 70s – I still miss the dried mangos and the piyayas (at least that’s what I think they’re called)from Cebu.
Great ideas! I could definetily use a good sorting session with my unders! Your blog is beautiful btw!
lol well good for your for tackling! i wouldn’t have thougth about pillows.. but some of them would make cute “things” I suppose!
@ Pie I know what you mean I am still trying to resolve my issue about this one. Personally I kinda feel it is really weird too.
@ Organizing mommy My drawers are very small ones also those were undies I accumulated over time because I don’t like throwing them out for someone to dig in! LOL give me your address I will give you a garter present for X-mas! Hahahahaha!
@ Robyn hahaha I dig a hole for cat poops! But that is a great idea. I still don’t know if I should give them away though!
@ Holly I know it bothers me too but my sis was comfortable about it. Feels weird for me really but the landlady was very encouraging it seems for her to leave a box of old undies for the kids to dig in!
This is something I need to tackle too. I’ve always just thrown my old ones out though. Giving used underwear (even after its been cleaned) to someone just bothers me. I think that bothers me more then the thought of someone digging through my trash to get my old underwear.
