To ask how on earth you deal with an itchy fanjo when out in public?!

[MrsGideon]

I'm currently sitting on a packed train with a severely itchy fanjo and I think people are starting to notice me suddenly sitting bolt upright and wiggling

I'm desperate to have a good old scratch but think it might raise some eyebrows

HOW do you cope with this in public?!

Just scratch, fuck it.

It's a body part t he same as any other and one which doesn't get much air.

I put my bag on my lap (it is quite big) and I try and discreetly scratch behind it

Go to the toilet?

I'm in a table seat surrounded on sides by men, so it's not really an option

Bertie the carriage is packed so no way of getting there unfortunately!

More a general question though - do people just have a rummage if the need calls??

Men always scratch at their bits - they won't mind!

When True, though from experience they don't always like it when we do the stuff they do

Fuck it. Give it a good scratch OP.

Itchy fanjo

Isn't that the guy from Diversity

And make some loud and exaggerated "aaaah that's better" noises at the same time

Loud cough, cover mouth with one hand, slap your v with the other hand

Elkcuhc56 I hope that was a joke 🤣🤣🤣

Make an entrance like when you get on the train and then nobody will notice or care what you do after that.

I have eczema in the crease of my groin, so I do get itchy when I’m having a particularly bad flare up. I itch in the loo, failing that the large bag on lap and scratch discreetly, if absolutely desperate.

Genuinely snorting at some of your replies (which is an attractive accompaniment to the wiggling)

Elk that was hilarious!

OP, Maybe you'll just be glad you don't have to contend with problem then.

Thinking about it; I don't think I've ever done this... I've been lucky!

Realistically I think toilet or a big bag in the way are the only way forwards.

I sort of cross my legs and clench my thighs together. Pressure sort of relieves the itch. I hate that men can have a proper rummage, readjustment and even look smug whilst doing it yet we cant.

I’d probably tug at my waistband in an effort to create some scratchy friction, crotchwards.

The dog has chewed through most of my jeans pockets looking for treats which has actually worked out in my favour, I can now scratch an itch discreetly if I ever get one. Occasionally I forget though put something in my pocket and it falls out my trouser legs 😳

So I suggest when you get home cut holes in all trouser pockets in case you ever get an itch again, if you've a skirt on I have no suggestions sorry

It's taken on a distinctly ants-in-pants like quality now

Gawd

That reminds of the joke about the man who thought an itchy fanny was a Japanese motorbike

Are they men you're close to? Scratch away.

Are they complete strangers? Who the fuck cares what they think.

Is one of them your boss or priest? Suffer in silence ;)
