WWYD. Terrible Knicker Problem

[JemimaMuddleFuck]

My babies are now Young Women and we have loads of knickers between us.
I am distributing knickers incorrectly from the clean laundry.Colour means nothing as I'm crap at laundry and put coloureds in with whites and all the fairly new knickers are all a sick colour of lilac/pink/purple.
I'm fed up of wearing age 10-12 knickers and diseccting my fango by mistake. I'm size 10-12 have poor eyesight and get dressed in a rush; usually in the dark. I also just stuff clean laundry away as fast as I can.

DDs' are complaining about grundy undies dropping throughout the day when they get my pants.

WIBU if I just wrote the names on the arse side of the knickers with permanent black markers; or should I get big writing iron on labels ?

Sew a different coloured thread (eg, red for you, green for daughter 1, blue for daughter 2) onto the labels. My friend and her three sisters did this with the toes of their black socks and it worked very well.

Colour code. I have this problem with dcs and socks. When both dds were at primary school dd1 wore grey and dd2 white, so it was easy.

can you not just cut the labels out of all of yours ?

Sew ?

I think delegate the task of sorting laundry.

Do the washing - then tell them to come and get their own knickers and put them away themselves!

different styles of knickers for each of you?

I character-code my dds pants, so I can tell the difference.

thankfully they are still small, so are keen on this idea, and also as they are still small (4 and 7), there is no way I can mistake their pants for mine - and even if I do, dd1's pants wouldn't go past my thighs...

otherwise I would colour code by way of anme labels - eg dd1 blue, dd2 red (is there a dd3?) so easy to tell at a glance whose pants they are.

lots of sewing thoguh -mayeb you could kill two birds with one stone, and get the dds to do it?

Use a laundry bag for yours and one for theirs.

I will do something efficient with the labels when I buy the next lot; but they're all "new" knickers. I used all my Christmas vouchers and bought DDs and me new pants/bras in the sales.
Sadly I've washed them turned them a funny colour, but they're too good to chuck out.
Good idea though. A full label will be me. Half a label will be DD1 and no label will be DD2.

Brilliant idea.

Love the drama of the title!

What about buying some of those big magic markers and putting a red spot on the inside label of yours, and a different colour on your daughters. Or none on yours but a coloured spot on your daughters. Saves faffing with sewing and easily visable to you all without ruining your knickers!

Get a couple of fabric markers and colour code with a dot on the labels. No sewing, and not as embarrassing as having your names written on the arse of your pants should you ever have to expose them!

Snap! Pirateparty :)

Permanent marker on the labels - red for yours, blue for DD1, green for DD2 ...

Like the "sew??"!!

My mum used to put all our knickers in a basket so we could find our own. She wore a different sort to us so that bit was easy.

They all have their own laundry bags; but you know what it's like, you gather all together and then stick stuff in to make up a load etc.
Loving the colour permanent marker; will get some and set DD's to work.
Normally we all get knickers from different places at different times and in different styles. I'd just got the vouchers and there was also a 3 for 2/mix and match; so we've all ended up with the same knickers in different sizes. Apart from DD1 who had a pack of polka dot red knickers.... which is why everything is lilac (????)

Patterns? eg DD1 gets stripy pants, DD2 gets spotty pants, you get plain pants. Or whatever.

DP got fed up with me accidentally on purpose nicking his black work socks and so buys socks with coloured toes now. Problem solved.

Write your initials really big on the butt cheeks

My ex was a sod for stealing my black socks when we lived in our old bedsit. Solved that one by buying Betty boop, little miss naughty and hello kitty ones :o

Coloured markers will save my fango laydeeeees.
I went out yesterday (whole day) in age 10-12 pants. The arse bit was fine but the fango bit was like cheese wire. I was wearing a floaty skirt and I would have whipped them off if it hadn't been so windy.
My conclusion. Fanjos are like noses; they must grow all through your life.
