"We bought thong underwear at two Victoria's Secret stores, and at Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomindale's... Every store took back our thongs without the tags, never asking if they'd been worn. Next our hidden camera caught the sales clerk at a Victoria's Secret attaching a new price tag on our returned thong, hanging it up and then putting it back on the floor for sale... Microbiologist Dr. Lori Daane says dangerous bacteria like yeast and E. coli can survive for weeks on lingerie and can be easily transferred. 'Given the fact that you can get these organisms on this clothing, especially thong underwear, it's pretty likely you're going to get some fecal contamination.'" |
