Pegging

[Pegged]

I think I have finally battered my OH into pegging me. I know we will need loads of lube but does anyone have any other advice? Must admit I'm nervous to find out what her choice of strap on is lol

[EauRouge]

Shit, I didn't realise I was meant to wash my pegs.

Can I derail the thread a bit and talk about washing lines? The first thing I did when we bought our house was get rid of the rotary one. I can't fucking stand them.

[killpeppa]

im looking for a new washing line actually.

to rotary or not to rotary?

Pegging MN guide:

You Will Need

A rotary washing line or similar

Pance (apparently)

Sturdy plastic pegs (not IKEA)

A strap on

Lube

Have I understood this correctly?

[littlewhitebag]

I love pegging. No one else in my house is allowed to do it. I have a system and my whirligig cannot be sullied by someone else's random pegging. I am obviously slovenly as I have never washed my pegs. Must go and get right onto it and get them all pristine before putting them away for winter.

I also have a pulley for indoor drying. I love my pulley very much.

Retractable line, all the way for me.

I wish I'd looked after my peg bag, its gone all saggy because I was careless, it must have had hundreds of pegs stuffed in it over the years,
I wasn't fussy.
Recently it got so bad all my pegs fell out whilst I was in the garden and as I was bent over trying to gather them up, my neighbor called over, and asked what I was doing?.
I said, "its me peg bag its bust open, its on its last legs" and she said she'd had the same problem and I needed to see a gynecologist about it. so what I want to know is, would a gynecologist put a draw string in? and since when did a gynecologists start doing small domestic sewing repairs? is because of the NHS cuts?

My peg bag is home made by my MIL

She gave it to me for my xmas present one year

[EauRouge]

Definitely retractable. Then when you're not using it you can look out on your garden and enjoy the view without a massive, brightly-coloured mutant umbrella ruining it.

I confess that I am a slattern as I do tend to leave the pegs on the line, but I think this is counteracted buy me always pegging up the socks in matching pairs. I feel all wrong if I don't.

[Norfolkbumpkin]

Damn autocorrect, by me I mean!

[TheVermiciousKnid]

We always leave pegs out. And they're wooden.

We do have a pulley. It's wonderful.

[CadleCrap]

I love my HUGE rotary drier - I have really crap pegs though

[TheVermiciousKnid]

My mother once gave me a peg bag for Christmas. It made me cry, and not in a good way. :(

[sparkle101]

Wooden pegs all the way I think. Wilko's are very good. This is from my very limited washing putting out experience as it is more dh's domain, I'm all about the tumble drier!

[Soldierskittle]

When I was a child [said in that voice] everyone had lines strung between two tall poles. The upper line, once full could be winched up to dizzying heights. I long for a washing line like that but I've no idea where you'd get one or how you'd make one :(

[plum100]

I have both - rotary is great and holds loads but on this weather i use my retractable as the wind can really get to it and give it a good flapping!

[Thants]

I want to peg dp isn't to it .
I can dream.
Lube, foreplay, start small!

[EauRouge]

Lube and foreplay? I really am doing my laundry all wrong.

[IslaValargeone]

Oh this is about laundry?
I thought it was about those little plastic pegs you clip on your cellophane bags for leftover food.
I do love a good housekeeping thread.

[Flossiechops]

Dmil bought me a lovely pink Cath Kidston peg bag but it's turned green with mould out in the garden all year long. I may ask Santa for a new one

[thornrose]

"Give it a good flapping"

[BlackholesAndRevelations]

Lol @ going to the gynaecologist!!

And "pance"

Ours is retractable but I currently can't retract it as dd broke it. Plastic pegs in matching colurs of course.

[honeybeeridiculous]

I'm very slovenly, leave pegs on the line all year, my DD moans as she finds spiders etc hiding in the crevices when she does her washing, this is the reason I don't use wooden pegs, they go rusty and soggy living on the line all year, loving this thread

[aGnotherGnu]

The rotary line is better for clothes, but I would like a straight line for the sheets as well. I pull the rotary out and store in the shed when not in use.

My pegs are kept in a plastic basket which hangs on the line while in use.

And I peg trousers from the bottom otherwise the waistband doesn't dry properly IME.

[BlackeyedPetitsPois]

Does anyone use a prop??
