To ask if you wash your bed linen every time you have sex?

[StandingOvulation]

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

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

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.

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

Yep, once a year! Lol

No or I'd have to wash it every day

We have a waterproof mattress protector so it doesn't soil the mattress.

Usually wash the sheets the following morning... 9 out of 10 times

I personally couldn't lie in it and my youngest is only 6 months. It would repulse me to lie in it. To those who insulted me for it yez must be dirt bags to lie in stained bedding

If you have time to wash your bedding every time you have sex, you aren’t having enough sex.

I’m far too busy to change the sheets twice a day.

What on earth does everyone get up to when they have sex that they have to change the sheets so often or lay down a special blanket, it sounds like there's just bodily fluids flying all over the place 🤣

Quite! What exactly is getting all over your sheets and why isn't it going where nature intended or somewhere similar?

I do. To be fair we’re hardly Pam & Tommy though, so if we do and I change the bed then I just won’t bother changing it on a Sunday when I normally do.

No! A weekly sheet change is plenty, sex is more frequent than that and we're not doing anything particularly filthy or leaving puddles of anything behind!

That's why we only sleep on rubber sheets, a quick wipe over and we're good to go. Of course in the summer months we just do it in the garden, saves us a packet on laundry costs.

No, i just snap the sheet in half and throw it in the bin

@zoeFromCity

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.

So, like some sort of sex blanket?

Is this a special sex blanket product? Please tell me more, where is it from?

Argh sorry, I didn’t see the PP asking the same 😖

I put a protective bed pad underneath me

No.

We do take protective measures against spills (mostly, sometimes The Mood occurs suddenly).

I would strip down any major messy sheets ahead of laundry schedule, as I would any other unexpected spills that aren't mop-uppable. Well except I wouldn't as stripping the bed is his job in our household .

Isn't all the above obvious?

Mumsnet is bonkers.

Christ who has the time? And how messy does it have to get? Afterwards I pop some knickers on, few minutes of cuddling, then go to the bathroom for a quick wee. It really doesn't need to be this hugely messy affair where sheets must be changed instantly!

No way. We have sex several times a day when partner is home - works away - altho no children to climb in.
I don't wash the sofa covers either but I do disinfect the dining table 😂😉

We have 3 kids and plenty of washing to do as it is without having to wash our sheets nearly every other day! Obviously if the sheet gets really wet we'll wash and change or if we've engaged in some of the activities which mean we've put a towel down as it usually isn't enough!

@EBearhug

In between different men at least.

Biggest laugh of the day, thanks!

Yep I do. Lol. Unhygienic if you don't. Almost like weeing in bed and then saying blah its natural lol

They'd be very manky (that's Manky!) after 16yrs.

I just use a toilet brush to clean up any spills

We probably have sex two or three times a week and DH changes our sheets twice a week (it’s his job I never do it), but he would do this if we had no sex at all, he just likes a clean bed!If I had to do it myself I’d probably be fine with once a week tbh

I don’t see where the mess is coming from either, I just go to the toilet a few minutes afterwards and it all comes out in there!

Maybe mumsnet is full of squirrels
