Why do i eat clothing

Question

i know it sounds very weird and it is but when i was pregnant with my now one year old son i craves white clothing fresh out of the dryer. I would just chew on socks and towels for ever then throw them back in the washer, then it went from chewing to chewing and swallowing pieces of towels and socks all clean of course, till this day I probally have eating four whole towels and maybe six socks and like eight hand towels. Thats alot someone please tell me what wrong with me. I have tried to stop but the craving just will not go away!! HELP

Answer 7

A while ago i read about this disorder where people consume non-food substances. It is called Pica (i think). You could research it and if you find any striking similarities (though I think chewing cotton is similar enough) you might want to contact a professional about this.

Answer 8

Wow! It might be a nervous / anxious thing. With all your pregant hormons it might set you off. Maybe talk to your Dr. Am sure its kinda freaky!

Answer 9

Maybe because the white looked like a food you couldn't because you were pregnant.  I don't know.

Answer 11

Stop washing the socks. You will soon lose the urge to eat them, I promise. As for the towels, you may just have a leanin' for Linen.
