Sweaty patch on seats

Can we please normalise the sweaty patch on seats when you get up? It always happens to me and I am mortified every single time. Surely others experience this?!

Yup. "Leather" seats can burn in hell.

You have to do the side swipe before standing up Wink

At the gym after exercise? At work after sitting down for a bit? At the pub?

I think it depends! At the gym I'd expect it totally (and expect people to wipe it down), haven't really noticed it anywhere else! Tbh I'd not bat an eyelid if someone cleaned it up, perhaps if they just left it for someone else to sit in it'd be a bit ugh! Just do the leg side swipe 😂

A touch of minge mist is totally normal

‘Minge mist’ is amazing, I’m stealing that phrase

At school we all perfected the forward slide and stand. It was everyone's move.

What's seats does this happen on? Other than leather if you're in shorts!

27 years old and never experienced this. I always wear pants and trousers so not sure how any sweat would get to the seat?

SheWoreYellow · 11/06/2022 09:54

Church hall type moulded plastic seats are the key culprits.
Juts have a wriggle every so often and it wipes it.

It’s more gusset area dampness I think.

At work I sit on my cardi to prevent it.

Love this!

Geordielass1987 · 11/06/2022 10:08

It happens on most things I sit on and I’ve got trousers on and a panty liner! I do the shuffle along but I get paranoid I look like a dog scooting it’s arse across the carpet 😂😂

Oh my god I thought you were the nurse from yesterday starting a thread about me. It was ages in a plastic chair and I was extremely anxious! I did have to find something in my bag before I left so I could swipe it about but I think she saw.

CookPassBabtridge · 11/06/2022 10:09

Oh my god thankyou.. I thought I was odd. Mainly happens on plastic chairs. I rhink it's definitely minge mist as I've started wearing panty liners and it doesn't happen anymore 😆
But before that I did the subtle swipe..

WildOats5678 · 11/06/2022 10:11

Thank god I am not alone in this! 😂 I tend to swipe with my leg as I stand up

AFS1 · 11/06/2022 10:28

This thread has saved my sanity. I was convinced I was the only person leaving a trail of damp patches! I hate it but have no idea how I can stop it.

iwishiwasafish · 11/06/2022 10:32

Thank you for starting this thread!

girlmom21 · 11/06/2022 10:34

OP has this started since you've started using the panty liners or is it the reason you started using them? I ask because I've just realised that I sweat more when using sanitary products so they might not be helping!

Migraineroundthebend · 11/06/2022 10:37

I'm always scared I've got a wet bum afterwards....surely if seat is wet my trousers would be?!

I have mastered this lol.

LunaLights · 11/06/2022 10:41

I’ve found my tribe!

SirChenjins · 11/06/2022 10:44

I thought it was just me! Those plastic moulded chairs are definitely the worst for this - yy to sitting on your coat or cardi. Must remember the sideways swipe - or maybe I’ll just embrace it and start carrying around a roll of kitchen towel and a bottle of Cillit Bang.

Useranon1 · 11/06/2022 11:12

I have never heard of this!! (Don't worry I've got my own weird stuff going on Grin)

I don't get the gusset bit though, doesn't your gusset face sort of forwards when you sit?

And if you're sweating through pants, liners, trousers, don't you have a wet patch on your clothes?
