(Video is Lynsey on This Morning telling us we should make sure our bras are clipped together and separate them from towels before we wash) I wanna know how she has the time.

It’s NOT time consuming nor difficult NOT to wash t towels with your knickers. That’s just GRIM

The question seems to be based on the idea that your knickers are somehow full of germs .....GRIM in fact. I don't know about anyone else's but my knickers are pretty normal and not full of bacteria. I wash everything together and am still in good health .

I don't wash underwear with tea towels. I find that a bit gross.

Maybe we should all give up on the tea towels. Oh, and the knickers! Problem solved. And more money to spend on shoes.

I use my knickers as shoes.

People often need flame-proof knickers on Mumsnet, Thigh, and they are not really washable.

I use my shoes as knickers. It gives me a shuffling gait, but cuts down on the laundry.

I tread in dog shit on purpose with knickers on my shoes! It adds a certain je ne c'est quoi.

Julian c'est quoi? But that's a boys name!

I self ID as Julian sometimes when I stick on my cock!

Don’t forget Julian of Norwich, Thigh, a saint like Danglia.

And female

Unlike Julian and Sandy (RIP)

And Timmy.

Wait, who’s Sandy? I’m thinking of Dick. Too much time with Dangly.

But George was a girl, or maybe a saint?

Very old comedy duo!

Knickers are washed separately from towels but only because there's not enough room for clothes in a towel wash. Everything else goes in together, I don't even separate colours unless something is new and might run..

I knew this would be contentious

Separate towels & don't put fabric conditioner in so they stay fluffy & absorbent. Separate anything that might run. Otherwise crack on. The sense of outrage in here is hilarious.

I sort washing by colour, though towels and bedding get washed separately on a higher temperature - everything else goes through at 40°. Tea towels go in with whatever is being washed as I hate having tea towels hanging around waiting for a wash. Any wash that includes underwear, as well as the towels and bedding, get a dose of dettol washing disinfectant.

I wash towels separately, sheets separately. Underwear goes on a hand wash cycle.

I put my knickers on my head and then seal them on with my tea towel with eyes cut out of it like a kind of gimp mask! Then I add a dog collar! It's my scene!

Mine too, I stick my knickers to my bonce with my own ordure for extra sticking power. I find it helps me get through my busy day so much better.

I keep a thistle in my bum knickers to keep me lively, no shirking or sitting down for me.

It really does doesn't it Yo, it's these little things that make the housework and the personal admin so much more fun to get through each day!

Hey, now that thistle trick is something I cannot wait to try! Thanks so much, I'll get so much done tomorrow!
