to be perplexed by GITD knickers?

Have bought DD1 some galaxy GGITD pants as a stocking filler postage cost more than the pants grr, but HOW do they work?

Surely, for them to be energized, they need to be exposed?

Do I actually want DD exposing her pants? Did I think thjis through?

And don't get me started on the "wash at friffing 30 degrees" that I noticed after I'd ordered them.

How old is DD1? I only ask because you're risking a 6 year old flashing her knickers to show how cool they are. Not stating this from experience with flashing holograms...

Nope, not a clue what you are on about.

BlueMoonRising · 13/11/2015 20:00

Oooh, got it! Glow in the dark!! Umm. I can see why you are concerned. Maybe keri then for nighttime because they don't glow in daylight?

ChaosTrulyReigns · 13/11/2015 20:30

She's 16, BTWN. Is that worse?

Blue, it's a puzzlement, iinnit?

Did she ask for them?! Strange gift. Is she a pole dancer or aerial artist?

cardibach · 13/11/2015 21:30

Glow in the dark pants seem a bit pointless.
I was almost e erything at 30 degrees - what bothers you about that?

PippaPug · 13/11/2015 21:37

Seems pointless but fun stocking filler!
Where do you get them from?

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 13/11/2015 21:40

Do they have anywhere to "hold" charge in the fabric?

They might charge when you wash/dry them, if so.

cranberryx · 14/11/2015 21:31

Maybe you could get her some glow in the dark uv nail Polish to go with?

I don't think she'll be flashing tbh, unless she has a history for it.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 14/11/2015 21:32

Yes, bluesbaby, my 16yo DD is a pole dancer. Hmm I bought them fir her fir the sane reason I bought my DS batman pants. Ok?

They were from Etsy, PippaPug. Whizz now and nut some, not sure anout delivery times.

Pants need to have a little bit more heat in that there wash, I do believe, cardib.

Not this thread again! Grin

There's no actual evidence that they do (so long as soap is introduced to the wash) but it makes a whole lot of people a lot happier.

I had some from Asda a couple of years back. They did glow in the dark enough to amuse me, and, indeed, DH. They survived washing at 40 along with everything else.

steppemum · 14/11/2015 21:53

I think she will need to dance around her bedroom in her knicks with the light on for half an hour before bed, and then she can wear then in bed and giggle at the glow.

momb · 20/11/2015 13:54

She'll need to keep them on her windowsill, then just slip them on for the evening once fully charged Smile

YellowBucket · 20/11/2015 15:53

I had some from Asda too Hippy - mine were black shorts with glow in the dark cats. They make me smile.

Grin @ just slip them on for the evening once fully charged

iPhone charged-check
Oystercard topped up-check
Glow-In-The-Dark-Knickers- charged - check

Good To Go Wink

Does GITD stuff need charging?! Shock I thought it was just an intrinsic magic property of the material...

This explains why the stars I stuck in my wardrobe as a child never really glowed. I thought they were just cheap!
