Ditto. If you don't have a lingerie bag, you can put them in a pillowcase.
Ditto again- regarding bedbugs...colleges are having big issues there, what with mattresses used for many years with kids from all over the world attending! This was brought to my attention this summer as mine is headed off to college in the fall. I hate to say it, but this may really change the way I think of yard sale fabric or clothing. Maybe a good vinegar rinse in hot water would be helpful, whether by hand or in a machine.
