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.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth and said 'lo, there shall be wet patches and thou shalt position thy shag to avoid them being on Your Side'.

CharlotteRose90 · 23/02/2022 16:34

With a partner id wash them every couple days like normal. If I was seeing someone new it would be every time. No kids In my house so it’s just me etc.

After ensuring DH scrubs his under-carriage with Domestos and a brillo pad, we quickly do the evil deed and then the sheets are whisked off and bundled into the garden BBQ where they are promptly squirted with lighter fluid and set on fire.
We then both have showers, before a quick bath, then a final shower before I make up the bed with my 8 zillion thread count sheets from The White Company.
If he need the loo DH is sent to the petrol station as no-one is allowed to shit in my en-suite.
It's grim.

[quote Scbchl]@Benjispruce5 have you heard of squirting? How do you want to position a tissue to stop that. Ffs some of these comments acting stupid and not knowing how wet patches come to be because you never had one.[/quote]
Oh now that's grim actually. Ewwwww! Am I ridiculously sheltered or something? 🤮

Georgeskitchen · 23/02/2022 16:45

Hell no!! They get washed on washing day!! (Not much activity these days anyway)🤣

deeplyrooted · 23/02/2022 16:46

@RVN I hope you have a separate bbq for burning bedsheets you filthy slattern

😂😂 but do you make him shower when he gets back from the petrol station?? Think of the germs in those places!!
CornflakesOnTheSolesOfHerShoes · 23/02/2022 16:48

If anything, DH appears to find clean sheets a turn-on, so they get changed before, not after...

Candyfloss99 · 23/02/2022 16:51

No I couldn't be changing my sheets that often.

Scbchl · 23/02/2022 16:51

@TheDoveFromAboveCooCoo or just lucky your anatomy doesn't work that way 🙄 do you think the women who do do it choose to ffs. Get a grip.

Benjispruce5 · 23/02/2022 16:58

I hugely doubt the majority of women on here complaining of wet sheets are getting them because they ‘squirt’.

Norgie · 23/02/2022 16:58

I don't understand the towel thing. Don't you move around the bed? Do you just lay on it and draw your flannelette nightie up to your hips?
How big is the towel??

Allsorts1 · 23/02/2022 17:00

This thread is also turning into a humble bragging opportunity for people who have lots of sex “I wouldn’t have enough sheets/drying space change the sheets 6 times a day!!”

I remember some friends saying they went back to using condoms because they got sick of having to change the sheets every time. I was Shock at the thought that this was something you had to do! And also wondered what they were doing that necessitated instant sheet changes afterwards…

Of course, this assumes that the occupants of the bed are always the same. The only time I have fastidiously changed the sheets after sex was when I was newly single and, let’s just say, living my best life Grin

Viviennemary · 23/02/2022 17:02

Only if I had different partners.

Only if we’re incorporating food or other people or it’s a bit of piss play- so maybe twice a week? Not for our usual lunchtime bonk and there aren’t sheets on the kitchen worktops anyway

Benjispruce5 · 23/02/2022 17:06

@Scbchl I disagree.

Livpool · 23/02/2022 17:06

God know - never knew this was a thing

*Sex outdoors? Lots of naturally absorbent surfaces ...

And what about the squirrels!!!*

They'd do. They're quite absorbent.

Benjispruce5 · 23/02/2022 17:08

@starfishmummy I think the RSPCA would take a dim view of all the squirters, that are apparently on this thread, taking a pot shot at the wildlife. Grin
