What make are they? I'am sure we have some of Refi and Mendy's underwear here too lol!!!!!

Going back to the thread zigi if they are a mess then chuck them, luckily underwear is cheapish. I usually keep what I have but if they are stained or are full of wholes then I just chuck them. Also depending on what age they are I found that the kids that have just been potty trained do like to have their own new underwear. It makes them feel "big". So as well as the old stuff I will buy them some new. You can never have enough underwear lol!!!

Zigi keep them but if dh wants to get new ones then get some new ones and have the old ones for a rainy day. e.g. if they have a sore tummy or you are off colour and feel to ill to do washing, or you are going out and need to take a change, etc... Then they will come in useful. By the way how old are the kids we are talking about?

tefila how many kids can you pass down clothing for? the baby things went through 2 kids also dd wore some of them so 3 kids. but so far ds is really hard on everything things his cuffs are ripping and everything he wears to school becomes stained...

I sort of feel like underwear should be bought new. JMHO.

I pass down tights, pjs, etc. But underwear I chuck.

There was no point not to. they share a room, a dresser and a closet and probably a lot of other things I don't want to know about. they grab whatever comes to hand, so they wind up wearing each other's undies anyway.

Until I had kids I'd have said "eeeew, never!" But after you've mixed up their toothbrushes a few times you get a different perspective on things.

I am not up to this point yet. dd #2 is nowhere near up to underwear (and at 14 months- I'm not even interested in thinking about it)
