DP has just text me saying he is putting the washing away and most of it is my knickers.

I wear 2-3 pairs per day and I don't think this is unusual or excessive...

? Really?!

GypsyMoth · 12/08/2011 10:43

Why?

TheMitfordsMaid · 12/08/2011 10:44

Well, whatever floats your boat...

TeelaBrown · 12/08/2011 10:44

Um. What?

One pair per day.

picnicbasketcase · 12/08/2011 10:44

Are you a bit leaky?

Melly20MummyToPoppy · 12/08/2011 10:44

2-3 pairs per day? Shock

reelingintheyears · 12/08/2011 10:44

Er..just the one.

crikey!

I get changed when I get home from work - new clean knickers and have a shower before bed - new clean knickers. Get up in the morning - new clean knickers....doesn't seem excessive to me..

One pair a day....unless I'm going out in the evening and getting dressed up, then will shower again and change outfit totally, including knickers, but generally just one pair.

Why/how do you get through so many pairs?

FourThousandHoles · 12/08/2011 10:45

What on earth are you doing to get through so many??

I wear one pair, unless I have a shower in the middle of the day post gym/swim or if I am going out later.

Do you have a particularly, erm, gungy minge large amount of secretions?

Tommy · 12/08/2011 10:45

just the one here too unless I'm going out in the evening and I have a shower before I go

passingtime · 12/08/2011 10:46

haha leaky, no not unless I am on the trampoline

CherryDrops · 12/08/2011 10:46

One unless I've showered (e.g. after the gym or before going out in the evening), when I'll change to a different pair. But usually one.

Lifeissweet · 12/08/2011 10:46

'a bit leaky?' Grin

er...1? Unless I'm changing into a dress to go out that needs a non-VPL.

Weird, weird, weird

Melly20MummyToPoppy · 12/08/2011 10:46

My niece is 2, toilet training at the moment, she goes through 2-3 per day. Are you toilet training too? Confused

passingtime · 12/08/2011 10:46

fourthousand NO i don't, I just love the feeling of fresh knickers!

OP posts:
BaronessBomburst · 12/08/2011 10:47

I wear 2 or 3 pairs a day too, especially in this weather. I didn't realise it was normal though. I thought it was just me, especially as my mother teases me about it. Apparently my obsession with clean knickers started when she was potty training me and I've never grown out of it. Grin

reelingintheyears · 12/08/2011 10:47

Can't you just turn them inside out?.... [yuck]

OneHundredPercentFucked · 12/08/2011 10:47

Why do you wear knickers during the night? That's what I want to know? Don't you let yourself get any air??? Confused

TheSkiingGardener · 12/08/2011 10:47

One. pretty much always one.

picnicbasketcase · 12/08/2011 10:47

Why do you put on another pair if you shower in the evening before bed - don't you just put pj's on?

PeterSpanswick · 12/08/2011 10:48

Just the one.. Am I a dirty fecker?

midnightexpress · 12/08/2011 10:48

Erk @ 'gungy minge'. Grin

One here too, unless I'm going out and have a shower first, or exercising hard and have a shower after. Neither of which happen very often.

Do I infer from your post that you wear knickers in bed? What's that about?
