I was having the discussion and my friend was repulsed by the idea (she has a 15yr old boy and 3 year old girl so it's not an idea she has to entertain🤣). I pass pants between my boys, they are replaced every august ready for school and in great condition.....the economy is tough and boys trunks are bloody expensive ! (Honestly I see it no different to women sharing clothes like swimsuits)

Who’s sharing swimsuits? 🤢

Have twins the same gender, and see how much you can be arsed to try and coordinate having separate underwear for each.
I think everyone has different comfort levels with thing type of thing but soz babes. I am team recycle, team reuse as much as possible and, team share, and team anti capitalism on this one personally.

I have a twin sister and our underwear was separate. Our swimsuits were too. My mom got us specific colors.

We cloth diaper and at one point had them both in them so we will more than likely with panties too

I have a rule that if it’s not worn out or stained it gets passed down. Kids grow so fast that a lot of items…including underwear and socks that may have been worn minimally or not at all. I am thrifty and try to use what we have on hand before buying new.

damn. Defensive much?
Yes also not wealthy, working full time and had a third toddler

I use cloth diapers. There’s a whole market for used cloth diapers lol we just do a wash and sanitise on them and it’s all clean and ready to use. For a family using cloth and having 2 or 3 in diapers or all gone through the same stash it’s hella convenient and great for saving money and landfill. I sold his cloth diapers for 70% of what I bought them for

I have different genders and you bet their bottoms I recycled! 🤣 The boy to the girl not vice versa lol
We also did cloth diapers.

Oof. Not everything is about you?
I didn’t even read your comment. Nor do I care if your toddlers share underwear.

aww I have a twin sister too! & we had separate underwear also. But she has always been a bit smaller than me so maybe it was because size difference but idk lol

Where are we buying children’s underwear that lasts more than a year lol

Underwear wasn’t passed down from siblings when I grew up. I do remember wearing my older sister’s coat and some dresses tho. But not underwear or swimsuits.

I’ve got a sister 1 yr older than me and sure as kids we could share shirts and shorts /skirts but underwear we always got separate. I don’t remember if they were our favorite themed shows or had initials in them when we were little but as we grew into teens we got underwear for holidays too and we wore different styles in colors we liked and did our own laundry anyways so it was no big deal.

lol lol. For me, the underwear that was passed was only really worn for potty training. Now they get their own underwear.

Like underwear? No toss them and get new ones socks sure. Swimwear maybe if it still fits but after a wash of course. Clothes yea, even the stained stuff it becomes their play clothes so I’m not constantly buying new clothes to be trashed.
Even if in good condition 🤣🤣 they share bathwater still 😑

If they haven't hit puberty yet, same gender, no stains it's completely irrational to not pass them down. Hot wash cycle once and you're good! You usually don't separate towels either and they touch everyone's bums and parts!

I personally wouldn’t share underwear, I think sharing swimsuits is kinda gross too so I wouldn’t do that either lol.

isn’t it funny how you forget about how different life was as a kid when you had a sister companion everywhere you went lol

Well that’s absolutely disgusting! No one should share a gusset 🤢
I’d never borrow a swimsuit or bikini bottoms from anyone! A bikini top, sure. But that’s it.
Certainly wouldn’t give my children second hand underwear even if they are from their sibling. The least they deserve is their own new underwear.

My girls are 4 years apart & my eldest tends to wear her knickers until the elastic is coming out of them😅 This wouldn't work for me.

yesss totally!! 😂

I have 3 girls everything is passed down except actual underwear. Training underwear is passed down when they are potty training but after that I purchase them their own underwear. My girl share bathing suits and we do pass those down. We also purchased used clothing which has included bathing suits.

Do yall not own washing machines? Do you not wash your under wear? Why is it gross to inherit any type of clothes from another human being?

THIS!!

Hell my son has hand me downs from his cousin😂 potty training with all brand new undies is expensive.
