Are the convenience store shirts good?

All my white shirts go yellow, most recently my lovely non crease Uniqlo one. I have an event tomorrow I need to attend and I’m sick of buying expensive white shirts for them to get ruined after a few wears. I’m thinking of trying one of the white shirts they sell at convenience stores, has anyone ever tried them? Are they okay?

And yes we’ve tried bleach and hot water and all the other solutions you can find online already.

Just go in wearing daisy dukes and a mankini. Easy.

Kidding.

If it’s just for a few wears, I don’t see why buying the cheapy option is bad.

Otherwise…
You want white?

Buy the 可立潔去霉易

It turns clothes that are stained yellow from mould and mildew white.

Then I rewash them.

Or, if they are dress shirts, then send them to a drycleaner?

I think the jump from “my shirts are yellowing” to “how about those convenience store shirts?” is too big a leap.

The smaller incremental step is to adjust the detergent you use and how you clean / hang / press your shirts.

If you figure this out, your clothes will not end up yellow like this!

I went and got one from Costco in the end. Less than $600 and seems good quality. Will wear it tomorrow and see

For the future, work on the laundry part too.

First lesson: no mixing of whites and other colours—ever!

Why? Yellow all over or yellow in the pits (from antiperspirants) or yellowed from using bleach? It’s not really normal for your whites to turn yellow after a few wears.

I have often wondered about those for emergency or maybe some small town unexpectedly need a nice shirt. I’ve never tried them.

Disposable underwear, I have tried those. They really do mostly nothing except make you imagine you’re wearing underwear.
