Can I put old knickers in a clothes bank?

In general, it's not advisable to put old underwear, including knickers, in public clothes banks. Clothes banks are typically intended for the donation of clean and wearable clothing items. Undergarments, especially if they are old or in poor condition, are usually not accepted. If you have old knickers that are still in good condition, you might consider donating them to local charities that specifically accept undergarments for distribution to those in need. Some organizations, especially those focused on supporting women or individuals experiencing homelessness, may accept donations of new or gently used undergarments. Always check with the specific charity or organization about their guidelines for accepting undergarment donations. If the underwear is not in good condition, it's generally best to dispose of it responsibly rather than including it in clothing donations.
