Old Bra's

in Old style MoneySaving
Seen as this seems to be the place for waste not want not type of things. Does anyone have any ideas what I can do with old bra's instead of just binning them? Please dont suggest charity shop as I'm not well enough to take them there and last time I put stuff in bags for them to collect it took them 3-4 weeks so the clothes were all soggy. As I didn't bring them in as they said that they collected from 7am onwards as I don't get up till gone 9am I thougt it would be sod's law that the collected them the day after I brought them in.

So any ideas what they can be used for?

    A friend of mine recently unpicked one and used it as a pattern for making new ones - worked well too apparently.

    There something I read about if a man was left alone in a room with a teacosy it is a 90% certainty that within 2 minutes he'd be wearing it....why do they do this?
