to think having white sheets in a hotel is not the best idea

[namechange91281]

So basically I stayed at a hotel last week with my dp. My period had just finished and we decided to make the most of no children and some us time. Anyway as you can probably guess there was some residual mess. It was very diluted but it was quite obvious what had gone on.

Why don't they have different coloured sheets. Anything other than white wouldn't have looked so bad

Adding my voice to all the people who want nice white cotton that can be boil washed and bleached as needed.

I had a friend stay here recently while we were away. She makes her living managing posh gites in France. The sort that are rented out for €4000-€5000 a week to the poshos of Sloane Square and Kensington. I rang her before she arrived to warn her that our cat is elderly and incontinent and she may well come in to an unpleasant accident that she would need to clean up. She laughed out loud at the thought this would phase her saying 'after having to clear up after our guests, a bit of cat shit won't bother me'. So don't worry OP. Go back and have several more 'nice times'.

Clean white sheets do look lovely though, don't they?

When I last stayed in a hotel I was approaching the menopause and my body must've decided to have one last flood - the mess was unbelievable. I'd worn the biggest, fattest, broadest sanitary towel I could find with two pairs of pants but left an enormous red patch on the bed - I mean the size of a dinner plate. I felt mortified and meant to leave a 'sorry' note to the cleaners. But I guess they could tell what had happened when they saw my washed but stained pants hanging on the shower rail - like something out of a horror film.

OP

They may well think - oh a couple and it was her/their first time, how romantic.

If they think at all.

Agree with others, whits is easy to bleach / boil.

You had sex there, and you are embarrassed about your period?

I'd rather see period blood. Seriously. Get your priorities straight. If you're not being embarrassed about them being able to tell that you had sex, then there's no need to worry about your period.

If you make a mess in the bed, strip the bed in the morning at least. Saves the Housekeepers getting an eyeful. They'll just bundle it up and put in laundry basket. Least you didn't piss the bed, that's worse than period blood.

I think sex is expected but I assume period mess is normal too. It's not something I've had to deal with before.
Ok i know I'm stupid for being embarrassed by it and I will just forget about it and remember the good bits

Yeah and strip the bed in the morning that's the least you can do.

Don't strip the beds. My sister has to check there is nothing but bedding going into the linen bag.

Depends on the hotel, the place where I worked would have been glad of it. Disgusting the shit people leave for others to clear up.

Yabu op - white sheets I'm a hotel room are absolutely the best idea precisely because these things happen. Don't be ashamed of having a body that functions as human bodies do. Hotels are not a service reserved only for people who don't ever ooze any bodily fluids - so they have laundry procedures to cope. When all the sheets are white it is easier to see that these processes have been successful. If a hotel used beige sheets such that a fluid stain that failed to come out in the first wash could pass unnoticed and another guest be given the stained sheet, that would be minging.

The person who had clearly washed a dog in their bath ick, the hairy bath! Wouldn't a normal person just give the bath a swill, some people are worse than animals!

I stayed in a hotel recently and when I went to get into bed there was a very large, very obvious period blood stain on the sheets. I pulled them back and there was a huge wet bloody patch on the mattress. I was very, very pleased the sheet was white so I noticed before I got in
