Expiry date of underwear

Verfalldatum von Unterwäsche

You can read in the magazine that underwear has an expiration date. https://corporate.migros.ch/de/Magazin/2022/05/unterwaesche-entsorgen.html It says that clean underwear contains about a tenth of a gram of faeces, as various studies have shown. That we should throw away underwear every six to twelve months for the sake of our intimate health.

And a little below that: a second life for discarded underwear Suddenly you're supposed to clean your bike and polish your motorcycle with the briefs and boxer shorts that previously contained faeces (a tenth of a gram, we remember)... *wäääähhh* For whose sake should you change your underwear every six months? A rogue who thinks evil...?

Well, it's probably like this: now that the clothing range has been thrown out of the store to make room for the MISENSO stores, even though nobody goes to a supermarket to have their glasses fitted, you now have to recoup the lost sales by telling customers to buy new underpants every few weeks from now on, which they can wear to ......

Hmm, I wonder how people wash their underwear so that something can remain behind....

I also thought I wasn't reading correctly! Throwing away underpants every 6-12 months?! Who comes up with that? With today's detergents and at 60°C, even underwear gets clean. After all, you can also wash various types of cloth diapers, right? Sometimes I really wonder whether this obsession with hygiene isn't almost pathological. It is definitely unecological!

I'm still annoyed that the clothing range has been thrown out of the store, there were some good items there. As for Misenso, the very idea of having it in Migros Gäuggeli or Calandapark just makes me shake my head, there's not much space there anyway.

It doesn't matter whether it is washed at 30, 40 or 60, I really can't imagine that there would be anything left afterwards. Because if such a "mishap" should really happen to someone, the U.büx will surely be washed out before it goes into the washing machine.
