okay i've been going bikini shopping & i have to try it on every time, soo i leave my underwear on, no problem. is this not safe to do?? i mean you have to try a bikini on before you buy it, but what if someone before you tried it on?? can you get sick from that?? germs?? idk what else.
Vikki27 answered Sunday June 18 2006, 8:49 am: Actually, you are doing the correct thing. If you order bikini's, underwear or a swimming costume from a mail order catalogue, they all normally have pieces of plastic stuck to that part of the clothing because it is unhygienic to try it on naked if you then decide not to buy it.
Basically, I don't think it is so much that you will get ill from sharing these items but more that the possibility is there. If someone has contracted a STI or STD from somewhere and some of their bodily fluid ends up on the material, if someone else then tries it on, they could contract it too.
The chances of actually catching something are slim but under hygiene regulations, you are almost always advised to try on such clothing while still wearing underwear, just to be on the safe side. [ Vikki27's advice column | Ask Vikki27 A Question ]

And if your wondering its not wierd or anything because a lot of people do it to protect themselves and everyone should be doing that. [ raidergrl1024's advice column | Ask raidergrl1024 A Question ]
xoxunforgetablexox answered Saturday June 17 2006, 11:26 pm: you're doing the right thing by keeping your underweawr on, and i have neevr hear dof anyone getting sick from keeping there underwear on. its completely unsanitary however to take it off when trying on bikinis...there is usually a strip of cloth-like paper on the inside of the crotch of the bikini bottoms so just incase you do buy the bikini, itll be completely sanitary for you to use.....i still recommend washing it before oyu wear it b/c there are some GRIMEY people in this world that DONT leave there underwear on when tryin on bathing suits...gross...anyway, hope this helps!

soccergurlie1220 answered Saturday June 17 2006, 11:25 pm: Yes you should always when trying on swim suits wear your underwear and I'm pretty sure all swim suits have a hygein thingy that sticks to it so if someone did try it on with out underwear it wouldn't hurt the person who bought it. But if you pruchase one without a hygein lining sticker thing I would try to return it for a new one and if you can't wash it.
xxsima answered Saturday June 17 2006, 7:16 pm: In most stores, they usually have a sign on the inside of the changing stall that says 'do not remove undergarments while trying on swimsuits' or something like that. Yes, you should keep your underwear on. It isn't safe if you take it OFF and try it on. So, just keep your underwear on, and you'll be fine.
