to donate old bra's?

[wrongdecade]

becasue of the medication I'm on I'm going up a cup size continuously and I don't want to chuck them away if they may go to a better cause, I've heard little whispers of people donating them to like peopl in third world countries which I think is better than like a charity shop.

has anyone done it??

I haven't done it but I think it's a brilliant idea

I've looked at a few and say the can't donate anything to sexy, what constitutes too sexy?

in our local leisure centre car park we have a collection box to donate bras (like the ones used for bottles and clothes) its a great idea

No idea , dh used to know a bloke who bought them from charity shops for his melons growing in the greenhouse!

Nope, YANBU to donate old bras.

However, you ARE being U to spell it "bra's". What's the apostrophe for?And in the title too!

yeah my bad sorry all

When I was getting rid of my feeding bras I asked a few charity shops whether they wanted them. Oxfam was the only one who said yes.

'dh used to know a bloke who bought them from charity shops for his melons growing in the greenhouse!' Love it!

Um I guess if they're in good nick, then yes. I can't imagine anyone would want any of my grey old offerings

Where do I get one wrongdecade?

Yes its a fantastic idea and I have sent a huge package to Thats Life! Magazine's appeal.

I believe Oxfam will take them.

I'd rather them go to a third world or an organisation to help under priviliged women that a shop iyswim

good stuff Erin

Wrongdecade: Oxfam take them and send them to third world countries . I don't think they'd find much of a market for second hand bras in this country!

Knickers for Africa is a really worthwhile charity. Sorry can't post link, but comes up easy on google. They take used bras and it makes a huge difference to the people involved.

Bravissimo seems to take them. Not sure what they do with them.

I dontate bras and pants etc to women's shelters. Some of the women who end up there have litterally the clothes on their back and nothing else

There is a charity that especially takes bra.I will see if I can find it again

that one

Bravissimo do take them.
Have to also say that as someone who's spent a lot of time working in third world countries- your bras are invaluable. You can't actually buy new bras in the particular country I last lived in, so I went and bought a whole load of cheap ones in Primark one Christmas as gifts for my staff. Don't think I could have given a better present- they were embarrassingly grateful.
I've also seen second hand ones being sold cheaply in the markets and women are so proud of them that, ahem, I've seen people wearing them ontop of t-shirts.
Please donate!

which country Tortu?

thanks for link lifeistooshort

I dread to think how much the postage will cost lol

we have a bra bank up the road

I am glad I foudn this post, I have a few that I bought when I was pregnant and a larger size that are no good now but I never threw them away because they were in good condition. I will send them off to the bra appeal.

I need to do this!! I didnt realise there wasnt a market for second hand bras and sent all mine to the charity shop

Now I know what to do with the next lot!
