Congealed gussets?

It's only polite.

You take off your pants.

You fold them up.

Even screw them up if you're a wee bit lazy.

But concealment is key.

My 5yo knows this simple life skill.

Nobody wants to see what's ranking in your pants.

Not even the washer.

Nor a visiting guest who happens to walk past your washing dump basket.

I think MNHQ are just ignoring this thread and quietly hoping it will go away - it doesn't quite reinforce the yummy mummy image they are trying to portray for their average users... Grin

NulliusInVerba · 12/05/2011 09:40

The odd thing is though, im sure a few posters up thread said their younger daughters and teenagers were bleachers? They havent had DC's so whats going on there Confused

HauntedLittleLunatic · 12/05/2011 09:40

No never raised in real life...

I have not admitted to bleached knickers, even on this thread....I am saying nothing.

HubbaHubbaBubba · 12/05/2011 11:12

Nullius I imagine with younger girls, it won't be a matter of incontinence as such (such a lovely word Hmm), but more like not getting to the loo in time I would imagine?

InAStateOfReflux · 12/05/2011 13:35

Or not wiping properly...

confuddledDOTcom · 12/05/2011 13:41

I started bleaching as a teenager and I was very careful about wiping! I've actually found it's better now than it was then.

heliumballoons · 12/05/2011 15:49

"Well you chose to air your dirty laundry in public"

It's not dirty, it's clean - bleached clean in fact. Grin

NulliusInVerba · 12/05/2011 15:51

eeeewwww to those possible answers.

Well I for one vote we stay with the original acid fanjo juice theory, because -

  1. It is kinder to the Bleacher population

  2. Its waaaay more funny

mummissinghermind · 12/05/2011 16:10

Whoa, hold it there, i am a bleacher,out and proud,not a pisser.

Virgowoo · 12/05/2011 16:28

I'm open to any sensible explanation, however, I am as yet sans sprog and you could bounce your small change off my pelvic floor.

There's also the question of the 'placement' of the aforementioned bleaching.

I am also not surprised, yet quietly disappointed that this thread hasn't made the round up. Wink

GussetBleacher · 12/05/2011 19:18

Christ in a sidecar, I'm glad I namechanged! I'm pretty sure I bleached before the kid though, so not totally convinced I'm constantly pissing myself.

I have some pale green knickers somewhere, will have to remember to look what colour they've become now.

'Even screw them up if you're a wee bit lazy'

I have never folded my pants, clean or no. Is that weird?! Blush

InAStateOfReflux · 12/05/2011 20:38

Fold them if they're clean, scrunch up if they're dirty. If you fold dirty pants the may accidentally end up in the clean pile, and you get a nasty surprise when you go to put them on in the morning...

Virgowoo · 12/05/2011 20:57

Not bragging, Chaos, just adding to the scientific discussion. Wink

Hmm

Liar, liar your pants are all bleached.

OP posts:
InAStateOfReflux · 12/05/2011 21:59

And if they started off black, the gusset may look like it's on fire...

Virgowoo · 12/05/2011 22:08

Now, now. What's the Hmm for?

Further up there ^^, someone was generalising wildy and saying that this issue is caused by knackered pelvic floors, therefore I was pointing out that this is an issue that seems to affect a range of women, and not all their bodies will be in the same condition, just trying to be humourous.

Sorry if it came across that I was uncommonly proud of my urine holding ability. Wink

HauntedLittleLunatic · 12/05/2011 22:56

A major cause is due to contact between urine and underwears.

Now if you have a weak pelvic floor you should do some more kegels

If you are blatently pissing yourself maybe you should invest in a shee wee thingumy

But I did, quite blatently, add a disclaimer stating that there may be other causes.

floweryblue · 12/05/2011 23:42

I used to have congealed panties a lot occassionally when I was younger but since I got a coil there is a lot less general goo.

My black pants get yellow bleaching but I have no idea how long it takes to happen.

I hide my pants in my shoes at swimming/beach etc.

excellent flowery, welcome to the fold. Wink

And that Hmm was meant to be a Grin Virgo. Wink

not jealous at all, oh no not one teeny wee bit

[wank] just to ring the changes and get into the spirit of congealment

Valpollicella · 13/05/2011 00:36

I think we need some kind of experiment to determine if weak pelvic floor are the cause of russet gussets.

Anyone willing to piss in a sterile pot and hang a pair of black pants in for a day to see what happens?

Go on, someone take up the challenge. A la,

HauntedLittleLunatic · 13/05/2011 00:45

That would be aitch (i think)
Emphasis on 'I think'

Rubyl1978 · 13/05/2011 05:09

Cant stop laughing at this thread as I am a bleacher and now dont feel so alone..we should start up a wee help group ;p; xxx
