to think you shouldnt wash out pooed on pants in a public sink?

[emkana]

Yuck. Personally i would either ch
uck them or put them in a nappy sack and take them home.

YABU I once saw a woman washing her toddlers arse in the public sink at London zoo. WTF. Happy handwashing everyone!

I'd chuck them (the pants not the toddler) in a bin. Life's too short.

Nice. DH once threw DD's knickers away when she'd peed in them. He said he had considered washing them in the sink, but decided not to because we were in a hospital. His throwing them away resulted in DD having an almighty meltdown (she had just had her pre school vaccinations) and him having to spend about a tenner on some new knickers that were designed to go on top of nappies. Silly bugger. OP, YANBU.

yes that is vile. I would also sling them if I was out and about, and couldn't find a carrier bag.

But surely some people are washing their poopy hands in the public sink?
Not a lot of difference really

I think there is quite a bit of difference darrell (unless you have wiped your bum with your hands)

YABU to assume public sinks are generally poo-free ...

It's a spectrum really
Clean hands but wiped bottom at one end
Poo covered pants the other
Where do you call the boundary?

gross, chuck em or bag em.

If you didn't wash your hands in the sink, then that would be more disgusting. Whereas the pants should just be chucked in the bin.

You probably shouldn't but I have.

Ooooh, that killed that one dead.

Did you all do this face --> and faint clean away?

Eugghhh. I would just ditch them.

Nope, I've done it too on occasion. In fact was enraged with nursery when they chucked poo-ey pants away because they were "past saving". Really? And they are different to cloth nappies how?

Anyway, I digress. Usually I would put them in my waterproof nappy bag and take them home but I don't believe in throwing away good pants for a bit of poo. And public toilets ARE generally poo-ey places. Child poo is a different kettle of fish to adult poo IMO.

Should say my DS is potty training and poos in his pants about 90% of the time so am sympathetic to rinsers.

YANBU, that's gross. Either sling at LadyGoneGaga away or take them home in a bag.

why chuck them ? trying to remmeber if i've ever needed to wash ds1's in public. no. don't think so. but would.

Well i know someone who throws her childrens knickers away if they leave a tiny skid mark in them... she also handwashes clothes before putting them in the washing machine she would faint at this thread! lol

I was out and about with one of my children once and he suddenly got VERY ILL in the arse department.

We are way past the age of wipes being in the bag and I was at an utter utter loss as what to do.

So, I'm stuck in a toilet with a weeping child (he was about 9 at the time) whose entire bottom half is caked in shit.

WWYD?

It's a sink, not a dinner table!

depeding on the damage I would either nappy sack them and take them home or beyond use would nappy sack them and bin them.
that is why I potty train my kids in primark pants!

I have a friend whose todder refuses to let her wipe his bum so she always plonks him in the basin to wash his pooey bum. I wish she wouldn't.

And are people planning to eat out of these basins?

Er I didn't wash his arse in the sink BTW - He would have been mortified.
