To hang my underwear on the washing line?

I never hang my knickers and bras outside on the line because I don't want to get spiders on them.

Everyone else's go on the line no problem. All the neighbours do around here.

I do it, I don't care what anyone thinks! If someone hasn't got better things to be doing than studying your underwear on the line, they have a sad little life!

I peg underwear, socks and hankies on an airer and put it outside the back door. It’s not modesty, it’s so that when the rain starts I can grab it quickly and shove it inside the door without unpegging everything.

Yes. I remember the knicker nicker. There was probably more than one nationwide. I still hang my pants on the line though.

This comment makes me want to just wash underwear to hang out tomorrow

Hang mine indoors as have a Pervy neighbour

HUSSY !

(Would my granny have said )

I put mine on a clip thing shielded by sheets etc because our village has a Knicker Nicker and I was a victim several times. Also, never go out or go to bed and leave things out, can't afford to keep buying new pants for perverts to steal. But if I lived in a place where pants did not need protection, no issues.

Mine also get dried outside and we have an overlooked garden. I’m not bothered about anyone seeing them or indeed seeing my neighbours’ undies! I’d be interested if people think the same about drying swimwear outside, quite frankly the bikinis I wear on holiday cover as much if not less than my underwear (especially my lovely sports bras 😂).

There are all sorts of gussets on show in my neighbourhood when the weather’s warm.

Mine are on the washing line as we speak. That is what washing lines are for! Can’t imagine being offended by someone else’s clean socks blowing in the wind!

Do people really struggle then and get embarrassed when walking around the M+S knicker section when they’re shopping?!

Sorry but I agree with your friend. I really don't want to be looking out of my bedroom window to see my neighbours bra and knickers blowing about on the line, that's a bit grim!

I just put mine on the indoor airer.

All our washing goes out all year, even in the winter (if the roof shed is dry, it goes out).

My size 18 M and S Bridget Jones pants are always flapping nicely in the breeze. Nobody cares.

That's what washing lines are for. Your friend is being ridiculous.

My mother doesn't hang hers out on the line and never has.

Everyone else's in the family go out on the line.

But then, she's always been a bit "What'll the neighbours think'.

The sad thing is, they'll think nothing.... and so what if they do.

She's a size 10, so hardly has big bloomers flapping about out there.

My partners boxers are currently on the line, if my knickers had been in todays wash they would be too.

My mum however has a rotary line and was mortified once when I was helping her peg out her washing that I was pegging knickers on the outside rather than 'hiding' them on the inner lines.

My nan on the other hand quite often has her knickers on the line in full view when I go round for coffee! Not sure how opinions on this have skipped a generation in our family, but there you go 😂

OP I see nothing wrong with it, we're all adults with pants that need drying! I would make it a game in the future when said friend visits to ensure my most grottiest/risqué undergarments were out just to see her reaction, but that's just me!

I hang mine out. Had this conversation at work and my colleague was 'mortified' at the thought, and said she dries hers on an electric airer in the spare room. She does too. When we were in a departmental Zoom meeting last week you could see it in the background.

Same.

My bras are so big that i do hide them on the inner lines. I remember laughing at my cousin for doing the same and her saying just you wait!

Ha ha😁I do hang my undies on the line at home even though I am overlooked. Howeverrrrr....., we have a caravan and the number of people who stick their big knickers on the line/ whirly outside, that does piss me off😂I don't want to look at your big skiddy pants while I'm reading / relaxing with me cup of tea.

My big knickers flap away merrily in the breeze. My neighbour goes a step further and hangs out her washing wearing just her bra and pants. We often spend another hour or so chatting over the fence..we don't care for the opinion of others.

I put period pads and my pants on the inside of the line, behind bigger items if my teenage son's friends are over. That's as far as I go.

Mine go out (although not currently, because until I have the climbers up the fence under control, I don't have enough space to get the rotary line out.) They go on the inner lines, because they are shorter, and lower, so the outer, loner, higher lines are saved for things like sheets.

I don't care if my neighbours see. Most of it is M&S cotton knickers, not very exciting. The most exciting undies may get handwashed, and not dried in direct sun, in case they fade.

The only bit I find strange is that you've only done it a couple of times this year.

I peg everything all year round. There's usually at least a couple of dry days a week (and I live in Scotland).

My ex next door neighbour once had a go at me because my pants where giving her boyfriend 'the flutters'

(The same boyfriend who is her brother if the dss asks)

My massive work pants and matron style bras where turning him on apparently

I laughed and told her to stop hanging out of her dds bedroom window for a better gawp into our garden and while she was at it,she could tell him not to do the same or I'd hang clothes out that would give him more than 'the flutters'

Never heard another thing about it
