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'm a bleacher too! And a concealer, but rarely a congealer Grin

heliumballoons · 09/05/2011 17:46

Yeah but Hec normally you enter as the calm voice of reason. Grin

cabbageroses · 09/05/2011 17:52

I'm going to stick to my panties and knickers- in the true spirit of this thread titleGrin

I do prefer knickers, but panties are acceptable. Panties are the female version of pants ( eg boxers and Y fronts.)

goodegg · 09/05/2011 17:56

Oh my giddy aunt. Why is this thread not in Classics?

NulliusInVerba · 09/05/2011 18:00

I think Hecate is having an off day Shock

"Acid fanny is normal" Hmm

I haven't got time to read this right now, but have snorted tea twice already so just marking my place for a later read....

Fleurdebleurgh · 09/05/2011 18:06

What a great first thread to post on.

Lovin your work MN'ers.

LaWeasel · 09/05/2011 18:11

Who posted about finding someone worn pants...

DH bloody did this!

To be fair we were staying at friends and DD was quite young there had been absolutely no sex, so I think he just forgot to shove them back in the bag. And he doesn't have skiddy pants.

But they were returned to us (nicely washed) via mutual friend! I couldn't think of anything to say except "well that's embarassing."

NettoSuperstar · 09/05/2011 18:16

Has smear, knicker behaviour been mentioned yet?

I wear my best, fancy knickers, always iron them, but remove behind the curtain and hide in jeans pocket.

Whilst the nurse may insert a metal screechy instrument of torture speculum in there, and have a good peer about, she must never see my knickers.

HecateQueenOfTheNight · 09/05/2011 18:17

Yes. It is.

I am telling myself it is totally normal and you all have it.

Don't disillusion me.

I clearly have a weapon of mass knicker destruction.

lettinggo · 09/05/2011 18:22

O my god, I'm snorting snots with laughter!!!

crystalglasses · 09/05/2011 18:25

Always wondered why my rather large and capacious knickers had bleached gussets. I always peg them on the line so that the gussets aren't on show. (I have a whirly gig washing line).

Happymm · 09/05/2011 18:26

Walks in, , hovers and considers leaving :o

Hardhatonamission · 09/05/2011 18:35

What a lovely topic of conversation. Upon which i shall add to being mortified at the weekend after having a house full of people and THINKING my washing basket was safely tucked up in my room that the kids had been in the room, knocked it over and left the door wide open...WHY did no one tell me this had happened?! Why did it take me to have to discover this?!

Chaos, please call your friend and tell her NOW that her gusset is on display!

confuddledDOTcom · 09/05/2011 18:52

I'm glad the bleach issue has come up, I've always wondered what it was about but never heard of it from anyone else. I have actually been thinking about starting a thread about it recently but hadn't got the courage yet Blush I feel so normal now!

I hate the term panties, it really grates when OH uses it. I just say pants - although the strange thing is as a fashion designer (sounds posher than it is and I haven't done a lot of work in years) when I'm making clothes I always use pants for trousers as that's how we're taught and how you buy patterns (when I use commercial patterns). I never notice that I use the word interchangeably as I'm using it.

HonestyBox · 09/05/2011 19:01

Fascinated that there are other gusset bleachers out there.

hippopoo · 09/05/2011 19:47

I have cried with laughter throughout this thread! (the last thread which had that effect was one about people pooing themselves, so there's a pattern there somewhere that I'm not proud of Blush.

NettoSuperstar, I also conceal from the smear test nurse, hidden under my other clothes!

Here's some slogans for the cleaning business

"we'll clean your banjo with our fanjo"

"buff your stuff with a muff"

merrywidow · 09/05/2011 20:09

always wondered about my bleached gusset; enlightening.

always wondered about Tena Lady too, post DCs I am most wise

pigletmania · 09/05/2011 20:13

ehhhghghhh congealed gussets Envy

IslaValargeone · 09/05/2011 20:14

"Up the anti with a smear free panty"

HairyBeaver · 09/05/2011 20:32

I too am a bleacher!!

HeadfirstForHalos · 09/05/2011 20:51

Keep your pants out of reach if they've had a bleach!

NettoSuperstar · 09/05/2011 20:51

I'm not a bleacher, which is a bit rubbish really as I can't work any more due to ill health and stain removing could've been my new job.

I would just sit naked all day on other people's stains.

Mind you, that sounds gross doesn't it?

I don't think I'd want other people's stains touching my fanjo.Hmm

NulliusInVerba · 09/05/2011 21:02

Hardhatonamission I shall raise your basket with neighbours, and give you my story....

Before DC's, as a late teenager I had new Boyf come round to mine, with his mates. He had just got a new puppy.
Whilst sitting round the kitchen table, evil puppy sneaks into utility, and steals my worn knickers out of the half loaded washing machine.

Evil puppy then runs back into kitchen with them in his mouth, infront of all the lads, produces them with glee, I try desperatly to retrive my knickers, resulting in running around and more embarrasment.
Evil puppy takes a shine to my knickers, and tries some sort of strange sex act with them.

Oh, the relationship didnt last. Oddly Hmm
