To think that having pop up knickers is bonkers!

So I'm perusing FB, as you do, and I came across one of those organisational hack videos. So I watched it, and one of the organisational hacks was to fold your knickers in the manner of tissues, take an empty plastic wipes box and out them in. So that you can pull out clean knickers as you would a clean tissue.

What's wrong with putting you bloody knickers in a drawer? Is it meant to be a talking point?

'well yes, I don't wipe my nose with tissues darling, only M and S shorties. Tissues are so two years ago'

A solution without a problem, indeed.

Saying that I do fancy shit with my pants. I roll them up and tuck them into a little basket in my drawer. Been spending too much time on decluttering forums Blush

I always aspire to fancy shit.

I saw this and thought the same. Thing is; I quite often want a specific pair of pants for a certain day or outfit so I would end up taking the lid off and rummaging though anyway. Also, DS would consider this an upgrade from the wet wipe packet and spend his time pulling them all out and flinging them round the room

What about when your period comes along and you want the stained, holy granny pants but all that's coming out are lacy thongs, or you're wearing something tight and want your no VPL ones but all that's coming out are the ones with normal seams?

I thought this when I saw it. Very confusing.

However, a few more minutes and I decided they are aimed at mom's so its probably for kids pants when they are toilet training.

However it still seems a bit OTT

That sounds like Hardwork to me! I don't like folding laundry though let alone putting it in the tissue box.

I have a ton of multi packs of M&S cotton pants (bikini, if you're interested 😀) and I have occasion pants like thongs, non VPL, high waisted holder-inners, getting my sexy onners etc.
I wouldn't do this with the occasional knicks. That's not what's it's for.

It's a system begat with flaws, they've obviously not thought through the knickers for different occasions thing.

I saw the video! It then went on to doing something very fancy with folding t shirts corner to corner. Watched it a couple of times, and really couldn't get my head round it!

Fluffyears · 20/05/2017 22:54

I kinda like the idea but yeah I'd pull out a pair and think 'hmmm no not you for today!'

Designed by a man for whom 'pants are pants'. Unclassified objects.

  • definitely a solution without a problem.
MaidOfStars · 20/05/2017 23:07

I have 50-odd bras, each with two pairs of matching knickers.

I'm not putting them into a fucking tissue box.

Voice0fReason · 20/05/2017 23:37

I thought the whole video was pretty crap ideas with the possible exception of the t-shirt folding

The t-shirt folding thing can be found on YouTube
