My partner has skid marks in every fucking pair of pants he wears. How do I wash them without spreading germs everywhere?

I feel queasy, but tell him to soak in a bucket like a nappy before he boils them.

@Windyatthebeach why not his df?

Bounceyflouncey · 26/04/2020 17:01

He needs to learn to wipe properly, ew. My friends ex used to get skid marks on the bottom of his t shirt at the back where it would tuck into his boxers, she found it part of the eccentric indie guy charm vomits

MockersxxxxxxxSocialDistancing · 26/04/2020 17:02

Invest in a bidet.

Or warn him he could end up on skid row.

Itwasntme1 · 26/04/2020 17:02

Why are you washing his shitty pants?

JemSynergy · 26/04/2020 17:03

I think you need to tell him you're sick of touching his skiddy pants and that he needs to learn how to wipe and clean his arse. If he can't do that then I'd tell him to wash his own pants.

Redwinestillfine · 26/04/2020 17:07

Please tell me this is a joke? You tell him you don't wash shitty pants and he does his own.

EngagedAgain · 26/04/2020 17:08

I know it's not QUITE the same thing as (being young and loved up etc) but what are younger women going to do when their men get old and start doing this sort of thing. Their pants have a bit more than skid marks! 😂

Justaboy · 26/04/2020 17:08

I suppose if he'd been a female in the 17th cent he'd be taken out and drowned! for wichcraft;!

Have you OP ever tried to talk to him about it or ask a doctor if he has an incontenince problem at all?, thats to sat he's clean to start with but then "leaks" a bit during the day as I once had that but it did with a slight diet change clear up and been fine now for years. OK TIM I know but its an embarssing problem I just wonder if you've asked him to see if it might be a medical cause before it blows up into LTB or worse??

LouHotel · 26/04/2020 17:09

tell Him to wash his own pants if he doesnt then chuck them out every time.

FlamingoAndJohn · 26/04/2020 17:12

Is he one of these men who thinks that wiping their bum makes them gay?

Look it up. It’s a thing.

Chociefish · 26/04/2020 17:13

Omg this was my ex. He now lives between his home and his parents at nearly fourty plus his mum has gone back to doing his washing.
When I left we had a heated argument about how much it was costing him to split the house so I told him to consider it back payment for washing his shitty underwear for 15 years. I felt utterly liberated in the moment!

sunshinesupermum · 26/04/2020 17:16

Chociefish you spent 15 years washing your ex's shitty underwear? Why did you wait so long?

Ask his friends in front of him how they clean their skiddys and if it's a man thing.

He might start wiping his ass then.

user1994 · 26/04/2020 17:20

Well obviously you need to tell him to sort it out. Shame him if necessary.

He might also have a really hairy bum hole so he could trim/shave or wax it.

Or use baby wipes

Or wear black underwear to disguise the skid marks.

ShellieEllie · 26/04/2020 17:20

Ewwwwww. I wouldn't want an intimate relationship with someone that doesn't know how to wipe their backside properly, utterly gross!

Rubyroost · 26/04/2020 17:22

I have piles, mainly as a result of pregnancy. No matter how mucb I wipe it sometimes ( not always) resukts in skidmatks.

Skidmatks don't necessarily mean that you are an unhygienic layabout.

You know some weird men, if you think part of them ageing, includes shitty underpants. Confused I nursed for many years and the only men that did that, either had medical issues or were just dirty fuckers, of all ages.

TheGirlWithAPrince · 26/04/2020 17:25

Ewwww why is an adult not able to go toilet properly?

Halestorm · 26/04/2020 17:28

Here's how you wash them:
You get him to put them into a pail like you would for soaking nappies. Fill with water, detergent and then say to him, "your dirty pants need a scrub before putting them in with the family wash"

justtb · 26/04/2020 17:29

I must admit I had an ex who had a really bad case of skid marks... no joke, the whole back panel of his underwear. I didn't know this until I started living with him and safe to say it only lasted 3-4 months! But he told me,'sometimes I just can't be bothered to wipe a lot.'

It may be a bowel problem though, so I would try and talk to him in a way that won't mortify him, or yourself!

Baconisgoodformeee · 26/04/2020 17:30

Why on earth are you inspecting the inside of his pants?!

mencken · 26/04/2020 17:35

and you have sex with this man because...

1forAll74 · 26/04/2020 17:35

Does he wear brown under pants, so just doesn't notice the brown skids ? ,or does he have unusually short arms,and can't reach the place,were no one should ever enter.
