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 am a bleacher and a congealer concealer.

I always thought it was just me.

I feel so happy on this thread. It's like coming home.

Eeeeeewwwww!!!!!!

The gusset bleaching reminds me off this naff joke I heard once from a dodgy stand-up...

An elderly lady decides to spice up her love-life by buying some crotchless panties to wear for her husband.

She puts them on, stands at the top of the stairs and calls down to him, "Here love, you want some of this?!"

"No way!", he says "look what it's done to them drawers!"

It's dangerous, bouncing on a trampoline when one has had a baby :(

acid fanny is quite normal, isn't it?

Mine not only bleaches but actually eats through the inner gusset of my pants.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 09/05/2011 15:02

HAIRY?

I will retire blushingly to a corner.

I'm kind of curious as to who left out the dirty knickers in the first place.

Not long after I married we went on holiday with friends. Out to dinner one night and her dh was slightly tiddly, began talking really loudly about yellow stains. She, as were we, had aching sides from laughing.

Until the next day.

When the sober her was reminded of it.

I'm no longer in contact with them but considering how indiscreet he was (once admitted to having a w*nk in every house he visited!) I wonder if they're still together.

I am so glad for Mumsnet - I no longer feel like an embarassing freak! Several black pairs of undies have been - ahem - bleached. I am not alone!!!

SpringHeeledJack · 09/05/2011 15:47

I scatter my gussets to the four winds

in spite of one bf telling me my rolled up drawers on his bedroom floor looked like they'd sort of shrivelled off my person

and a charming one night stand telling me my discarded knickers looked 'like Concorde had landed on them'

Nowt much grows in the shade.

AlistairSim · 09/05/2011 15:58

Do you know what?
For the first time in my life, I feel normal.

Thank you mner's, you have done what years of therapy couldn't.

I salute you.

AlistairSim · 09/05/2011 16:00

Good idea, thelittlefriend, would you like to be my partner?

We need something catchy.

Another caustic fanjo checking in.

You'd think, though, that if my downstairs pH balance makes black knickers paler, then all I'd have to do is wear white knickers and hey presto, they'd stay sparkling white forever. Hmm

wendihouse22 · 09/05/2011 16:14

Yes, one really ought to scrunch or conceal in some way.

My SD leaves her knickers on the floor. For all the world (including her poor dad) to see.

It's beyond me!!!

Firkytoodle · 09/05/2011 16:35

I try and conceal when I remember. Am a proud gooey bleacher so concealment is generally attempted.

MIL on the other hand is a slattern proud revealer. After eating a meal in her kitchen opposite an overflowing washing basket, several pants turned gusset side up, I wandered upstairs to the toilet to find...

One pair on the toilet roll holder
One pair on the handle she uses to get up off the toilet
Three assorted pairs on the bathroom floor.

And a pair of FIL's skiddy Y-fronts.

Crevix · 09/05/2011 16:38

I actually feel nauseous.

bleaching????????????????? rotting?????????????????? Shock wtf are you lot eating?

cabbageroses · 09/05/2011 16:39

You can only bleach your gussets if you are wearing coloured panties.

white panties turn yellow.

Dropdeadfred · 09/05/2011 16:49

Bleachers

Crevix · 09/05/2011 16:53

eeeeew panties cabbage Shock panties???????

cabbageroses · 09/05/2011 16:55

No apologies. men wear pants. I wear knickers or panties. Briefs at a pinch.

OTheHugeManatee · 09/05/2011 16:59

What's the difference between knickers and panties , cabbage?

HecateQueenOfTheNight · 09/05/2011 17:09

When people say "panties", I imagine tiny little lacy jobbies that men like women to wear.

whereas knickers are your comfy, pretty things. More substantial, less pole dancer.

I realise you weren't asking me, but since when has that ever stopped me? Grin
