Would this really be so bad? Thoughts please.

Sounds like something my guide leader might have said smile
Yes that is what I said when my friends started using ST as an abbreviation for "Sexy Times".

As in "where were you last night?"
"Me and BF stayed in for ST"

Never heard them called STs. Wouldn't bat an eyelid.

JosephineMaynard · 24/10/2016 16:10

The only associations coming to mind for me were saints and streets. I did briefly wonder if you were worried about a tenuous link with STDs or STIs.

I've never heard sanitary towels called ST before this thread.

I came on to find out what the problem with ST was...

Nothing sprung to mind, unless you were planning to marry your child off to someone with a last name starting with I or D and forcing them to double-barrel their names - STD or STI might not thank you! Confused

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 23/10/2016 09:56

I think possibly, the term STs, is very dated now.

Barefootcontessa84 · 23/10/2016 09:42

OP I know lots of people that call them STs, but I wouldn't make the link with name initials so I wouldn't worry.

WelshMoth · 22/10/2016 18:55

Could OP be meaning 'Sexually Transmitted'?

It wouldn't occur to me in a band though - it really wouldn't.

SallyR0se · 22/10/2016 18:46

I think ST is said, or was said, where I come from. But I wouldn't make the association if I saw the initials ST written down. And there's no occasion to say your initials, really?

Floggingmolly · 22/10/2016 18:46

Sanitary Towel... Are you serious? Hmm

Groovee · 22/10/2016 18:42

If you added a D on there would be a Hmm.

But no they are fanny pads here.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 22/10/2016 18:38

Unless your surname begins with I or D it won't be an issue. Maybe rethink if it does..

Itisnotwhatyouknow · 22/10/2016 18:28

I write ST on my shopping list so I would think sanitary towels if I saw ST as initials but I honestly don't think the connection is bad or strong enough to warrant not using the initials.

nennyrainbow · 22/10/2016 18:27

The only person I have ever heard refer to sanitary towels as STs was my mother who would have been 75 this year. I think people stopped calling them that in the 1960s so you should be fine with those initials now!

MrsGsnow18 · 22/10/2016 18:23

I would never have made a connection with initials ST! Definitely not an issue!

My first thought was a Ford ST, a sports performance car but I live in a house full of car mad males! Sanitary towels wouldn't enter my head.

Only time I've ever seen them called STs was in a B&B on the Isle of Wight!
I think you're ok with these initials.

SansasEscape · 22/10/2016 00:04

I've never heard sanitary towels as STs. Ever.

BackforGood · 21/10/2016 21:51

No. That's just you.

FuckThatToOneSide · 21/10/2016 19:24

Ugh that was meant to be a Grin not a Smile. Looks like I have really fond memories of my guide leader (I do not). She was a nice lady and all, but not whistful smile worthy!

FuckThatToOneSide · 21/10/2016 19:11

STs = sanitary towels? Never heard that before. Sounds like something my guide leader might have said Smile.

GoofyTheHero · 21/10/2016 19:11

Yes, sanitary towel. Does nobody else call them STs?
