Should I put a bra in a charity bag?

Would they just bin it? I'm not talking about my well worn greying comfy bras, it's just I bought a couple of nice lacy ones before I became pg with DS and wore them only a few times, and have not been the same size since. I don't want to put them in the bin, they're practically brand new, but not sure a charity shop could sell them?

Definitely, there are loads in charity shops. Someone will buy them!

I have - never thought twice about it !

Oh good - just didn't like to think of them ending up in the bin anyway and I couldn't think of another use for them!

Only if they are fit for selling.

This might be a better bet in terms of recycling them

Esp foreign aid charities.
Bras can be almost impossible to get hold of in some countries. Hard to find, difficult for women to shop indepently for and expensive.

And we all know what a simple difference to your life a good bra can make.

I think I read that Oxfam is keen to receive bras which they distribute where they are most needed.

Some charities collect old bras and send them to developing countries.
