Wash Your New Clothes In Case Someone Wore Them And Returned Them

Okay, honestly this sort of stuff doesn’t really bother me, but if you’re a neat freak or just enjoy making gross-out faces when it comes to biology, remember to always wash your new clothes before you wear them. Good Morning America tested some new blouses, pants, a jacket, and underwear to see what sort of grime they could find. Here’s a tease about the results: the term “vaginal organisms” is mentioned at one point.

Note: I accidentally typed “secretions” instead of “organisms” in the original version of this post. I apologize for the error.
