I tend towards slatternity so I didn't realise this was A Thing Shock

Luckily it's only high days and holidays nowadays, so it's not as though Id be ploughing through the Bold on Bed sheets. Wink

It's this another MN requirement where I come up wanting?

YABU: wash em straight away you grim creature.

YANBU: Meh, wash Em on the normal processing time, no need to rush.

Every time
I never wanna risk my children getting in Blush

Member869894 · 23/02/2022 00:00

I don't

Hankunamatata · 23/02/2022 00:00

No unless there are spills

Goldrill · 23/02/2022 00:06

I wash my sheets way more often than I have sex. They'd be properly gross if I left them that long.

mrsfollowill · 23/02/2022 00:06

No that's crazy talk! unless your sheets are 'heavily soiled' ( I suppose it depends what you get up to really) but no not as a thing!

Simonjt · 23/02/2022 00:07

No, use a towel, although sex is yet to feature in 2022 for us 😂

Goldberg213 · 23/02/2022 00:07

No. We have sex almost everyday and I dont think I could be dealing with washing the bedding repeatedly.

CeleriacOfTheNight · 23/02/2022 00:08

No I definitely prefer to launder my sheets more often than bi monthly Grin

mrsfollowill · 23/02/2022 00:08

I've just seen Goldrill's post above mine and I admit the same! sheets are washed more regularly Grin

daisyjgrey · 23/02/2022 00:13

This is MN, someone will be along in a minute to say that they put a strip the bed, put a special mattress protector and designated bedding on, do the deed and then strip it all off and put a fresh one on, every time. And anything less is the epitome of "grim".

RoyKentsChestHair · 23/02/2022 00:14

When I was with DP we’d have sex at least 3 times a week. In the early days sometimes several times a day. Who the fuck has time for all that laundry when you could be having sex instead?!

My kids didn’t really come into my bed when they were younger tbh, so that wasn’t an issue. But if they did, they weren’t going to be exposed to anything as I’d have tried to keep anything off the sheets and mopped up any spillages!

Mylittlepotofjoy · 23/02/2022 00:24

Gosh no !!! Early in my marriage we would have been doing laundry every day and now ….. I’d be lucky to change them every six month !!!!! Grin thank his sheets can’t talk !!!

NorthSouthcatlady · 23/02/2022 00:26

No. Life is too short

PixieLaLa · 23/02/2022 00:27

No way! But I guess it depends how many bed sheets you have Grin

SirenSays · 23/02/2022 00:28

No! I sleep naked so wash the sheets regularly anyway, I couldn't stand doing even more laundry

Qwill · 23/02/2022 00:30

“Every time
I never wanna risk my children getting in”

Getting in what?!!! What on Earth do you think is going to happen to them? This is by far the oddest thing I’ve read on here, and there has been some bonkers comments through the years!

DorothyZbornakIsAQueen · 23/02/2022 00:49

We're boring. Both work full time and have a shag at the weekend.

Will change once a week.

In between different men at least. Wink

Qwill · 23/02/2022 00:55

@XenoBitch

Shit yeah, totally forgot about that. Definitely going to be changing my sheets daily. Now that you mention it, my brother looks a hell of a lot like my sister’s shoulder…

zoeFromCity · 23/02/2022 01:04

We have a special leak proof blanket, which we throw on top of whatever bedding we have. It has cool and warm sides and feels special.
I definitely don't want to sleep in wet or having to change sheets immediately after.
Sometimes we let it dry and air, or run a short program in washing machine.

EmmaMaya · 23/02/2022 01:07

Yes I do!

RhubarbFairy · 23/02/2022 01:08

If it's wet after sex, we'll change the sheet, but not the whole bed. If it's not, then it's a hug and roll.

xprincessxjanetx · 23/02/2022 01:21

Nope
