Erm Farting!

[mumtochloe]

Was walking home from work today and felt a bit windy so I thought I would let out a long silent one. All good so you think but a couple of teenage girls started laughing hysterically afterwards.

Do you think my bum was steaming??!!

[SPARKLER1]

I reckon it was. It's bloody cold today - any warmth in that air would give off steam. How embarassing!!!

[SPARKLER1]

[woodpops]

LOL, are you sure there was no nose??

[woodpops]

I meant noise

[starlover]

i have no idea, but the thought made me laugh, so thanks!!!

[oatcake]

pmsl! After being paranoid about this in my teenage years, my bestfriend and I did an experiment and I can confirm that you would not get steam getting through your clothes on a cold day!

Don't want to make you paranoid, but might they have been laughing at something else? unseen bogey? smudged lippy?

sKIRT TUCKED IN KNICKERS.

give-away odour?

[Fran1]

I reckon it was the smell!

[DillyDally]

On a vaguely related topic, does having had tearing during birth increase the likelihood of non bum farts

[oatcake]

fanny farts? shouldn't think so because things should heal to the state they were prior to childbirth, but another interesting point! which reminds me of a crude joke I remember from working with men 15 years ago... Ahh, the base ones are always the best (giggling away now...)

[SoupDragon]

"things should heal to the state they were prior to childbirth" yeah, right!! Are you telling me your bits are in the same shape they were prior to you pushing a melon through them?

[oatcake]

Yep. Hence the very safe word "SHOULD" Use it in all my essays!

Seriously though, I think it is an intersting point that dillydally made and one that is worth investigating in class... will let you know!

[DillyDally]

I am sooo glad that no-one knows me in real life
Oh the shame.

[SoupDragon]

I would say it's more dependent on whether you've done your pelvic floor exercises than whether you tore or not.

[oatcake]

yes agree. can't stop laughing at this thread.

[Flossam]

Dp said he wouldn't know any different, and the midwife showed him all my stitches!!!

[lou33]

How many of us are now sitting at the pc doing our pelvic floor exercises?

[SoupDragon]

OK everyone, squEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEze!

We'll have no one PTSL on this thread.

[DillyDally]

Yes Miss Lou33

[lou33]

me too

[SPARKLER1]

I must not laugh - will take the risk of wetting myself if I do!

[SoupDragon]

Actually, to go back to DillyDally's question... I would imagine it depends how bad the tear was. As I've mentioned on other threads, I had a 3rd degree tear with DS1 and had to do for a delightful ultrasound scan 10 weeks later (didn't ask for a picture to take home), I also had to fill in a questionnaire and one of the questions asked whether I suffered from "incontinence of flatus" or uncontrollable flatulence (luckily, I didn't!). Which implies that a 3rd degree tear can lead to an increase in farting.
