Panty liners

77 replies

Iambaboon · 05/04/2012 22:46

always every day. To keep you feeling fresh all day.

So our normal, everyday, natural secretions necessitate these panty liners

Yet men, who I know regularly have piss splashes and spots over the front of their pants, they don't need some chemically, plasticy thing to keep them clean and fresh?

AIBU to think there's an imbalance here?

woollyideas so it's ok for men to see our crusty knickers (boak) as it's natural (it's also smelly) but it's not ok for men to have piss stained kecks? either men and women can both be mucky buggers (and not in a good way) or we both should exercise some personal hygiene surely?

How the fuck did you infer that from my post?
Here have a [bubiscuit]

trixymalixy · 06/04/2012 11:12

Totally agree Cadburys!

Mine doesnt have piss stained pants either. He washes his cock under the tap after every piss, partly so i dont have to be faced with reality maybe?

every? Even at work/in the pub/other public loos?

NanBullen · 06/04/2012 19:16

err because that's what it said Hmm

DinahMoHum · 06/04/2012 19:23

probably not at work, but he would when he got home.

And panty liners can be removed before you think you might be getting jiggy. Easier than changing knickers

Really? My post said 'its okay for men to see our crusty knickers (boak) as it's natural (it's also smelly) but it's not ok for men to have piss stained kecks? either men and women can both be mucky buggers (and not in a good way) or we both should exercise some personal hygiene surely?'

Really?
Did it?
Can you actually read?
Personally, FWIW, if I was planning to get intimate, I'd be putting on some clean knickers. And if it was case of unplanned, sudden lust I don't think he'd be stopping to examine the gusset of my knickers before getting stuck in.

^That was for Nan by the way.

Whateveryousaymustberight · 06/04/2012 19:34

You could just not buy them. [buconfused]

wigglesrock · 06/04/2012 19:38

I never ever used them, then I had dc3, I find them "helpful" shall we say? You know with moist issues Grin

RuleBritannia · 06/04/2012 19:39

MY DDH used to wipe his wee poinmt after weeing. I walked into the bathroom one day without knowing he was there. I didn't have to tell him to wash his hands afterwards either.

My SFIL had to have his underwear prised off him every day if I were lucky after a battle. In the end I gave up and had them given to me them once a week.

Men do have these though! Grin

CrunchyFrog · 06/04/2012 22:22

I hate the word "fresh" in this context.

And I live in hope of one day seeing a shelf of Special Cock Wash For Stinky Man Parts. The very concept of needing special soap for our dirty, dirty minmins is just weird.

Liners are an extension of that. What are pants for? Surely to protect your clothes?

Sittinginthesun · 06/04/2012 22:26

I also wear them with tampons, and at the end of a period, and if I'm expecting a period to start. Tena if I have hayfever, in case I have a sneezing fit.

SugarBabyLove · 06/04/2012 22:38

Those manwipe things have got to be an April fool, surely?

Anyway, I'm off to report this thread as the funniest I've ever read on mn.

PuffPants · 06/04/2012 22:40

RuleBritannia - um... Why do you want your SFIL's underwear??

LauraShigihara · 06/04/2012 22:47

RuleBritannia I am both confused and intrigued...

SugarBabyLove · 06/04/2012 22:49

step father in law... ?

CarefullyAirbrushedPotato · 06/04/2012 22:49

I don't use nasty scented plasticky chemically PL, but I do use PL because I have a lot of discharge, y'know, since we're talking about it. I always have had and my pants get sticky and soggy and uncomfortable if i don't. I can't be changing my underwear all bloody day long

MissFenella · 06/04/2012 22:51

I have no idea what the are for or when I would use them. I presume some women, somewhere need them, so I am glad there is a product for them.

I do get irked that the advertising would suggest that all women need them all the time. But that is advertising isn't it.

MyCarHasBrokenDownAgain · 06/04/2012 22:56

SugarBabyLove Nope, they exist alright! One of my best friends sent my DP a sample for Christmas this year (we all try to out do each other with the crapness of our pressies each year). Her little sis is a pharmacist and picked them up at a trade show. We were pissing ourselves laughing ....

MyCarHasBrokenDownAgain · 06/04/2012 22:58

Get your knob wipes here! Grin

SugarBabyLove · 06/04/2012 22:59

I think men quite like a bit of pong downstairs, a bit of manly spray around the place. Marking the pant territory, or something. That's my experience anyway, if I remember correctly.

Lueji · 08/04/2012 19:49

Egg white mucus.

Men don't have an equivalent.

Lueji · 08/04/2012 19:53

And for DS's little accidents when he's got diarrhoea. :)
