Checking goodwill for infant clothes and?

I stopped by my local goodwill to see if I could find any onesies for my son to sleep in today. 
Hardly any infant clothes. Anyway, just a random question
Am I strange or is anyone else kinda ‘skeeved out’ by bras and shoes being there? I know bras can be washed but there is just something about a used bra that weirds me out. I mean, in reality it is no different than a shirt, so IDK why I have an issue with it.
I realize some people can’t afford them, they are expensive (hence me having only 3) so I’m not knocking anyone who does buy them, just wondering if I was a weird-o.

Don’t worry about it, once you wash it all the germs are gone. Shoes you can wash out with water that has a little bleach in it and put them in the sun to dry. We do that every year at our shoe collection before we send them out.
i have no problem with used shoes because i wear used shoes all the time, hand me downs from siblings and cousins, so its not so huge of a deal to me, its just feet and i can just clean then and use socks, but i always get creeped when i go to goodwill and see bras and underwear (yes, they sell used underwear), i mean i dont have anything against it because i know its all some can afford, but it just skeeves me out to think of wearing something that touched a strangers genitals and breasts. its a little different from shirts because theres is something between a shirt and your breasts (usually). your not a weirdo.
thats strange about the onesies though, im 17 and childless so i dont pay too much attention to it, but i do on occasion look in the kids isles if my aunts and uncles ask me to pick up a shirt or some shorts for my little cousins, and they always seem to be very well stocked in baby gear.
Well, you’re not a weirdo. Everyone is grossed out by different things.
But what’s the difference between a bra and a onesie? One has to assume that there were a few diaper leaks with a used onesie.
ALl the best.
