I use my scrubs this way. And my jeans. Nothing else really lasts that long and I kinda blame the additional wear and tear from my boobs. I buy thick socks and mend them when they get a hole I guess.

I've just accepted wearing my (thick) socks with a hole on the heel... why tf have I never considered mending them‽ I feel a bit (very much) embarrassed about that, and I appreciate the thought. Also excited to realize I can reclaim like 4 pairs of my socks. So thanks for making me feel a little dumb, friend!

I ain't darning socks. I'mma just wear mismatched socks without holes before they hit the rag bin. And while I will use my own washed wornout underwear for rags, I ain't no way in hell ever going to use yours.
