Congealed gussets?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

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.

One has been compelled to join this esteemed forum to prevent any more spurious hypothesising.

The Queen is allowed to only sport a pair of wedgers once, due to reasons of national security.

The used garments are then put to hard graft polishing the Palace's silver.

HTH.

HRH.

HRH - do they get washed before they move to polishing? we need to know.

No hat, the fango acid is better than brasso to polish it up.

OMG, I can't believe I wrote that. Is that treason? Sorry ma'am - didn't mean to refer to your lady stuff on mumsnet. [blsuh]

I mean

inastate no more about Her Madges knickers please, we don't want to end up super-injunctioned now do we?

Oh no! That's horrible!!!

I'm interested in the hydrogen peroxide creating flora. I didn't really understand the link so a bit confused about it. Are they saying that gusset bleachers are more at risk of certain things?

Sorry if that website was a bit impenetrable, it's a respectable source. It's a medicines website because the bacteria is used in treatments for yeast infection etc.

It basically means that Lactobacillus acidophilus is a naturally occuring friendly bacteria (like that stuff in Activia) that lives, y'know, 'up there'. It says that some strains have been identified that create hydrogen peroxide, which then comes out in discharge and presumably bleaches your black knicks.

I'm not a fanny biologist, but it seems a more plausible explanation than 'acid in your blood' or 'your Ph is a bit off'.

Who started on about HerMadge's knicknacks? We'll all be in The Tower there's any more of that treasonous speculation.

I am strangely relieved to find other "bleachers"

Which comes first: the intelligence or the bleaching?

Fanjo acid better than Brasso... .

Fanjo acid better than Brasso. Brilliant. now I know how to get those brass candle sticks really sparkly!!!!!!

Ok Virgo, I know you're not a fanny biologist, but any thoughts on how to get it to stop producing hydrogen peroxide?

I am not a chemist, the only things I can think of that produce chemical reactions are Baking soda and Mentos.

No wait, Mentos in Coke make it explode, probably not the chemical reaction I'm looking for.

Oh thank fuck!

DD is a "bleacher"!!

I thought she had an STI, glad to hear she simply secretes Domestos. MN is a wonderful thing.

Mm, in my non-professional opinion I think we all just need to feel happy we've got a full complement of happy Lactobacillus and perhaps invest in shares in Always.

Or continue strategically hiding our gussets when they're hanging on the line.

Erk at Mentos in Coke in this scenario.

Yes, yes virgo enough of the science bit, what about black knickers that can't deal with the fanjo bleach? No VAT on black knickers say I.

Do you people that bleach consume yakult?

does anybody have black knickers (used) that aren't bleached in the gusset area?

I've just found a black marker pen in my pen pot...says it's waterproof...thoughts?

You'll have a black inked fanjo if you use it on your gusset

I do, crystal. My jeans are crotchless though .

Obvs, you'd wait for it to dry before putting 'em on.

Or perhaps you could then so some inspired feminist 'potato' printing.

Need to go and do some work, I'm clearly getting a bit weird now.

but vaginal secretions aren't the same as water, so waterproof marker pens won't necessarily keep the black ink off.

A major problem with Always is they've not made liners that fit my boy-short type knickers with the diamond-shaped extra bit of gusset. Try to put a regular liner on that and you can be sure you will end up with it migrating halfway up your bum and/or adhering itself to your pubic hair.

hatwoman, no they are not laundered.

The Queen herself cuts the gopping crotch out and that's the only manual labour she ever does.
