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.

No wet patches here so no extra washing. Tissues have a roll to play. Bit mystified by the idea of regular wet patches. Perhaps I've been doing it wrong for 30+ years.

Nope once or twice a week for bedding irrespective of activity levels

I tried to think of a tactful way to say that. You did it so much better than I could. Simple and straightforward, Tissues have a roll to play. Says it all.

he’ll do himself serious damage popping it into a Vax- at least get something off brand with less suction

😂😂😂 just one of those wee handheld ones for the stairs and edges maybe

thetombliboo · 23/02/2022 20:51

Erm no I have enough washing to do. It would be most days tbh. We use the bathroom after (no penis beakers here) and then change weekly.

lioncitygirl · 23/02/2022 20:53

I wash the sheets every week, but I sleep naked so sometimes I wash a lot more often.

TwoCoffeesPlease · 23/02/2022 21:29

Depends on how recently they were last changed and whether there is any obvious “staining”. I worked with a woman once who used to insist upon it. Her and her DP would often have sex in the middle of the night and at 3am they would be changing the sheets!

FlasherMcGruff · 23/02/2022 22:40

God no. I couldn’t wash my bedding 15 times a week.

Bollix · 23/02/2022 22:54

Have never knowingly squirted myself but definitely been in the vicinity of a "wet patch" - yuk so so cold 🥶

Completely ignored this phenomenon in my young free & sexy single days - of which admittedly there weren't many 😬

Now I mop up said freezingness with a baby wipe & swop sides with OH simples 🥴

Abstinence is the new laundry aid

@Blossomtoes

I can’t believe that someone with four kids has so much time n their hands.
Perhaps they don't have much laundry? Grin

I'm up for trying it.

jamandmarmaladeoncrumpets · 23/02/2022 23:27

i think it needs more work before Persil starts to worry Grin

I'd still be up for seeing the commercial though Wink

Sorry the quote didn't work, that was to *@CandyLeBonBon*
Juices can and do 'fountain' if the circumstances are right!! And no it's not piss. There are small amounts of urine present but female ejaculate is still a mystery. Going for a wee directly before sex means it can't be urine in those quantities!
goingback · 23/02/2022 23:52

alternate shift patterns so hardly ever in bed at the same time ,crossover in the morning so sometimes sneak a shag in the bathroom while kids have breakfast-sheets not usually a problem.

PerditaPerdita · 24/02/2022 00:00

We have new sheets every week.

By the changeover, yes they have been infused with sperm. But I love him/them/it/whatever and don't mind. Actually I like it.

wompom · 24/02/2022 00:02

Just saw this on Reddit & thought of this thread! No need to change the sheets, or sleep on wet patches!

JuliaSways · 24/02/2022 00:03

@CandyLeBonBon believe me, I know! 😂 I meant it isn't always fire-hydrant esque, as porn would have people believe. And yes, wee before and after so the fluid is definitely not urine (although as stated previously, it can contain traces)

HaveringWavering · 24/02/2022 00:33

OMG. The sex blanket is advertised as “a luxurious play-scape”.

And the listing helpfully adds “When you are satisfied, simply throw it in the wash”

It looks a bit like a picnic blanket to me. Who writes this shit?

To ask if you wash your bed linen every time you have sex?
legallyfakeblonde · 24/02/2022 00:39

@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.
Where would one purchase this all seasons sex blanket that makes it feel special? 🤔
pawpaws2022 · 24/02/2022 00:56

I think it depends on the guy. I've been with one guy, no wet patches
Another was like a flood large patch that I couldn't have slept on comfortably

AuntTwacky · 24/02/2022 01:09

No!
