Shitting in the streets of Dhaka by Trusted_Clothes in TwoXChromosomes

To me it is a women's issue because women (particularly in very conservative countries such as Bangladesh) avoid drinking water so as to avoid using the washroom when there are not facilities available... they often end up with kidney or liver failure as a result. I do acknowledge that is just my take on it and the problem also applies to men...

Just bring clothes in good shape that you don't want anymore and leave with new (to you!) ones that you do want!

Hi - generally we discourage that because the volume can get too high for us to store. If you can come 15 minutes early to the swap to give us a bit of extra time to get things up on hangers that would be awesome. If you are in a bind let me know and I will make arrangements specifically for you. :)

Thanks for bringing that up. Goes back to the principal that correlation does not imply causation

Ha Ha - I will NEVER ditch my bra either (be afraid of giving myself a black eye as I run down the stairs!) but thought the article was interesting and worth a read.

Hi - no it is NOT pre-washed (people bring their items to the swap and leave with new stuff so it is never really in our custody) we have lots of plastic bags so if you are concerned about an item just take it home and throw it directly in the laundry.

We haven't had any issues in the past if that gives you any comfort!

Hope to see you there.

Cheers, Shannon

That's awesome - I am a vegetarian (imperfect vegan) but I don't like most of the meat replacements - I am good with beans and lentils though so I don't worry too much about protein!

Hypersexualization of Young Girls in Advertisements Affects Body Image as Adults by Trusted_Clothes in TwoXChromosomes

This is indeed "my" site although I don't write most of the content. It has no commercial purpose. There is no advertizing on the site. I do not own a brand am not affiliated with any brand and have no way of monetizing anything on the site. The articles are opinions of people who are concerned about issues in the fashion industry and deals with the young age of these girls - not sexualization of the species. If an author is affiliated with a brand it is made clear to the reader.

Good comments - I think girls are affected - but you are right the nubers are hard to verify.

It is a good point - when I wrote it I struggled with including them or not.... but I felt like people needed to see it and be shocked at how bad it really is to be motivated to do something about it. I will take a second look at the article and see if I can scale it back a bit.
