Pegging

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

Branleuse, that made me laugh

Gosh, I am spending for too much time on here today.

ExcuseTypos · 16/11/2013 12:41

My DH loves pegging but he never does it properly as I do it and it takes him bloody ages to peg just do one load!

enriquetheringbearinglizard · 16/11/2013 12:44

ocelet thank you, I shall embrace boldly the variety, although perhaps not as much as the Branleuse household does.

Judyjp I wonder if they had the same levels of satisfaction and if so, does it really matter?

enriquetheringbearinglizard · 16/11/2013 12:52

Apols for typo ocelot41

bryonywhisker · 16/11/2013 12:57

my peg pag has gone mouldy

ocelot41 · 16/11/2013 12:57

enrique no problem - it happens to us all sometimes. Even with both hand on the keyboard... Must dash off now, smashing pegging weather!

ocelot41 · 16/11/2013 12:58

*hands, dammit hands!

So envious of steam press. I have a little round thingy to dangle socks from which I got from Poundland. It is a bit fragile though and the bits you dangle from get all tangled up.

Currently working on my futility room which will soon have a heated Lakeland airer next to a dehumidifier.

We get funny smells in our street so it's not always possible for outdoor pegging. However even in summer a dehumidifier keeps air moving and will dry clothes, and I don't need to switch the airer on to use the hanging facilities.

SoupDragon · 16/11/2013 13:08

Does anyone else think this thread hasn't gone the way the OP intended...?

SoupDragon · 16/11/2013 13:09

I am currently mourning a lost opportunity for pegging whilst I was at DSs rugby this morning. If I'd put a load on over night, I could have pegged outdoors and have it dry by now :(

TheVermiciousKnid · 16/11/2013 13:11

I have done some magnificent pegging today. I can watch it from where I'm sitting, flapping in the breeze.

What an excellent thread this has turned out to be. I sincerely hope the OP got what he needed out of it. :)

ConfusedDotty · 16/11/2013 13:11

Not sure SoupDragon.

But I am certain he won't find what he is looking for in the Lakeland catalogue.

ohmymimi · 16/11/2013 13:11

I didn't know you could get strap-on peg bags; brill idea. Can you buy these strsp-ons in Home Bargains?

almapudden · 16/11/2013 13:12

I live in a flat and am thus denied the joys of pegging. When I go to visit my mother, one of the highlights is the opportunity to really get stuck into some old-fashioned pegging. She has a pole-hoist line, it's very exciting.

ocelot41 · 16/11/2013 13:16

It's been a mine of useful information about different approaches to pegging Vermicious - a Classic in fact?

SoupDragon · 16/11/2013 13:18

Oh, I think the Lakeland catalogue might be useful

TheVermiciousKnid · 16/11/2013 13:21

Oh definitely, Ocelot. A classic guide to classic pegging:

  • pegging inside and outside
  • equipment required for pegging
  • pros and cons of plastic and wood
  • top or bottom pegging
  • rotary and/or pull-up pegging or maybe even the particularly risqué 6-strand pulley-uppy-thingy pegging
  • pegging versus spin drying (no contest)
  • being anal about pegging
  • pegging in all weathers

What more could a pegging enthusiast need or want?

ConfusedDotty · 16/11/2013 13:24

A strap on peg bag? Well I never. I think I NEED one.

ocelot41 · 16/11/2013 13:26

Vermicious 'Peggers Weekly'- I think we could have a market. Maybe we could even be on Have I Got News For You?
Lisa I have futility room envy and am so glad to have found a Lakeland soulmate. Long may your airer dry efficiently...

Anniegetyourgun · 16/11/2013 13:28

Branleuse , this thread is not about tent pegging and you jolly well know it. Shame on you for derailing.

ConfusedDotty · 16/11/2013 13:32

Word of warning for all you peggers.

If you are using a rotary washing line in high winds, please make sure it is well secured. My friend had a pegging disaster in the summer. A sudden gust blew the rotary dryer over and it ended up almost smashing her back door in. Also there was half a dozen peg casualites too.

Safe pegging people.

BoosterBondageSapphire · 16/11/2013 13:36

Cant believe so many people are so anal about pegging.

strruglingoldteach · 16/11/2013 13:41

Anniegetyourgun Oh but using tent pegs is so very satisfying. Sometimes you have to wiggle them a bit first to get them in, but if you persevere they just slide in smoothly.

Pegging using washing pegs just doesn't compare, regardless of whether you prefer wood or plastic.
