Fanny condensation

On plastic chairs. Just me?

Please tell me it's not just me. It happened tonight at school parents meeting. Stood up after a nice chat with the maths teacher and there is it, the diamond shaped condensation patch of doom.

I nearly name changed because i am very embarrassed, but fuck it.

Re Popsocks. I used to work with a (v posh) bloke who told us, in a conversation about the pros and cons of stockings, how much his girlfriend loved wearing stockings and that was all she ever wore as she wasn't keen on tights. It's so long ago that I can't remember exactly how the conversation went but at some point in the proceedings it suddenly became clear that what he thought were stockings were in fact popsocks. It explained why he'd never thought stockings were particularly sexy. We laughed. A lot.

How many of us are going to be looking for the shuffle and twist ?
Once you know about it you see can it everywhere Grin

When women wear thick tights and trousers very unhygenic bacteria like warm damp places. That is why stockings and pencil skirts should be worn so you get nice air circulation.

Same can be said for an ankle-length kilt and pop socks. It's what all the most hygienic women are wearing this season.

Yep, I have less condensation these days because my stupid arse has shrunk and become bony. I'd rather have my old arse and condensation because sitting on hard chairs is a bloody nightmare

The notion that it's piss or secretions of some sort of fanny lurgy is just horrible. Why would any sane person say that?! Here is the VERY simple thing. If it as piss or any form of fanny juice, you'd feel it seep out, your clothing would be damp, the patch of doom would remain and someone would come up to the chair and exclaim "Fuck me, some dirty bastard has pissed on the chair!" or "Hellzapoppin' this chair is covered in fanny juice!"

I think it's really horrible to imply that every woman here who has experienced it goes around with pissy knickers and is excretes fanny juice so heavily that she leaves a snail trail wherever she goes.

N.b. Condensation is the change of gas to liquid. I.e. it is the change of the physical state of matter. Now, I'm not sure if farts can turn into liquid, but I'm pretty sure that piss and juice,already being liquid can't change their physical state to liquid, because they are bloody liquid.

In short, stop being so horrible. It's natural bloody science!

Of course any of us could lose control of our bladders, being women and all it can happen, but that would be a different thing altogether. The chance of fanny juice leaking out of our pants is far less likely. When I was about fourteen I did have a horrible experience in an art exam when the far heavier than I had anticipated period I was having started leaking and leaking and I knew that there was blood on the chair I was sitting on and my legs and my pants and my skirt. I had to sit there until everyone had left, clean the chair, put a jumper around my waist and go and clean myself up. That can happen to any woman and it doesn't make us someone to be looked upon as filthy and dirty, but none of these things are condensation. Learn some simple bloody science!

Apologies for rant. Rant now over.

When I lived in Australia, this was an hourly concern. All year round!

Such a funny thread, long time since I've laughed till I've cried! I do suffer with a clammy crutch - I thought it was only me Smile

If you have the sort of undercarriage that flattens out onto the seat then it won't happen. If you are built with a rather graceful arching gappy bit that traps air then you are definitely doomed.

MrsDmitriTippensKrushnic · 10/11/2016 19:39

We changed chairs in our staff canteen and the new ones are terrible for this. We have three different sorts, two don't attract condensation one does (and I've checked because I'd never noticed it before and had a bit of a panic about it this summer)

In the interests of scientific exploration because I was freaking out a bit I've sat on the sweaty chairs using panty liners, tena pads and normal towels as well as just pants/nasty uniform trousers and I can happily say that fanny condensation occurs no matter what - so it's definitely not vulvic juices. Maybe thigh sweat but I've never seen thigh crease sweat lakes soaked into my crotch either.

I'm so happy this thread exists. Grin

Passmethecrisps · 10/11/2016 19:36

Actually, I recall working out at school that some plastic chairs were better than others. I can't remember but I think the more deeply patterned ones were less problematic than the smoother ones. Or maybe it was the other way round

Passmethecrisps · 10/11/2016 19:35

Absolutely.

Because heaven forbid women (and men) should discuss aspects of their own bodies.

ClopySow · 10/11/2016 19:23

No wonder women get belittled and ridiculed by men with stupid threads like this! No - I don't, and neither do the majority of us

Mcfuckingsigh.

Did you read the hundreds of posts where women said they were so relieved it isn't just them. Women are fucking terrified to speak about shit like this because they are belittled, not the other way round.

Oh my goodness. I've just spent a very happy half hour or so reading this. I'm absolutely decked. clopysow for the win. Thank you so much. The greatest gift ever GrinGrinGrin

DOTLEYtheONEeyedDINO · 10/11/2016 19:20

I have it all. A sweaty fanny (I am so glad I found this as I thought it was just me). I even leave marks on the chair pads (fabric) at school functions. Actually now I take the chair pads off and pretend I prefer sitting on the rock hard seat!

Bleached knickers. Most definitely. Did any of you with bleached knickers struggle getting pregnant... acid fanny kills sperm. Just wondering as I struggled to conceive!

ilostit

Next time, i'll quickly turn round, get on my knees and lick it. That'll distract them from my 'ahfuckinghem' piss/sweat/foofjuice/slimetrail.

No. Warm air, a source of moisture and cold glass - condensation

But the ice is on the inside. It's not evaporating, it's melting. The condensation on the outside of the glass is caused by warmer air hitting the outside of the cold glass.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 10/11/2016 19:10

To determine if it's sweat, it would taste salty. A quick discrete lick of the seat when you get up should clear up any confusion, Clopy.

Passmethecrisps · 10/11/2016 19:08

It disappears extremely quickly. Within a few seconds if you watch. You know, like condensation. Rather than a puddle of piss

ClopySow · 10/11/2016 19:07

If the water is condensing out of the air then why isn't the seat wet before you sit on it

Because theres no heat source mind

My fanny is the heat source. If it were piss or sweat of discharge, my clothes would be wet. They aren't.
