Silly "real life" question: am I doing laundry wrong?
Like most people, I learned to wash my clothes from my parents. My mom separates colors militantly (light, dark, bright, red), washes all her clothes in cold water, and hangs almost all her clothes to dry.
But I'm having issues with this. Question for people with vaginas: how do you wash your underpants? The internet tells me to wash "underwear" (I guess they mean white men's briefs?) on hot, but "lingerie" on delicate cold. All my nice underwear, including fancy mens' underwear with prints on it, says to wash cold and hang to dry.
I'm having a problem. When I do this according to the instructions, most of my underwear doesn't get clean. I end up re-washing everything by hand to get rid of any vaginal discharge that's in the crotch. Is it my soap? Should I stop using "eco-friendly" stuff? If you have any underwear outside the completely plain white cotton category, how do you wash it?
