@zenvelo I don’t see the difference, but people don’t have to agree with me. Bathing suits don’t always get wet. Sitting around in a wet suit can be worse if you let your mind run wild. Yeast infections come to mind. People go to the bathroom wearing swim suits too.
I do agree that @Dutchess_III is right, once washed it’s all good, but for me psychologically I wouldn’t want to do it.
I realize it’s a little ilogical on my part, because I do try on clothing before washing. Not sans underwear, but still, I guess theoretically a skin something or other could be communicated. Very rare I am sure.
I know people who will not sit on a public toilet, which basically has extremely little risk.
