I found little holes on a few shirts that had been in the wash the other day and I realised my youngest daughters belt had gone through the wash/dryer on her skirt by accident.

Interesting reasons for why the holes appear! I thought it was always bugs

This doesnt really happen for me. But interesting theories!

This us 100% right.
I have been trying every different option I could, I did on pants and tops and same thing. If you ever buy cheap tops and pants to do cleaning at hone. Then use them to test around the home.
But this is right.

I always thought it was from silverfish but never took too much notice of where they were appearing just that they were there suddenly. Who would have thought. Maybe the manufacturers of our t-shirts should use good quality material for the front and cheaper quality for the back.

I always assumed it was from moths orSilverfish and would go crazy putting camphor everywhere!

I thought these were made from my cat walking all over me. They also usually appear up near my shoulders.

Interesting that yours are centre front, mine are all centre back – and not just t shirts! I have them in track pants and jumpers too!

It sounds about right, but I really can’t see anyone wearing aprons and tucking in their t-shirts. Guess we just might have to throw our favourites out.

  Lol, I do wear occasionally aprons to protect my clothing against stains when I cook 😉 maybe I’m a bit old fashioned..

Yes, right at bench top height.

Every shirt I own has these holes haha I need new clothes!

My work shirt got it from the cashier

This happens to a friend all the time she tells me it’s the friction from the buttons on her pants especially her jeans that cause this.

I was told years ago it was the button on your jeans

I’ve had this happen from time to time, but don’t see how it could be from rubbing on a bench…

I always thought it was from the belt/buttons on my jeans. I always wear an apron in the kitchen so it’s not from from on the bench.

Yes! I get these all the time!! I think it’s because of always rubbing against the bench when I’m prepping food or something.

As they’re always on the front I would agree that it’s likely something we are doing day to day> I thought the security tag was a good choice but they usually put these on side seams.

I think it’s the washing machine.
The holes I get in my shirts I don’t wear in the kitchen or car – they are the ones I wear to work so public transport and when i get home, I take them off so I can am comfy and can cook without getting scared of stains.

This always used to happen at my mums house and never at mine, how weird!
