To wonder where the fudge my pantyliner is!?

Throwaway as it's embarrassing.

DH and I are staying at my parents for the past month while our house is having some work done. Last night I went to sleep wearing a pantyliner (it was a bit loose but I rearranged so I thought it sat better). Woke up this morning, fed DC, gave DC to DH to change nappy and went to the loo to discover my pantyliner was no longer there.

I didn't mention anything to DH but had a peek in the bed to see if it fell off in the bed, couldn't see it. Looked around the floor of the bed, not there.
Retraced my steps to the loo, not anywhere there.
I did sit in the living room while DH changed DC's nappy so I had a look there too, but it isn't there.

Where on earth is it!?

Also, highly likely it's just me that wears liners in this house. Do post-menopausal women need liners!? It's going to be so mortifying when it's found. It's obvious it's mine and also just plain disgusting 😭😭😭

Do they have a dog or cat?

Nope, just an aquarium

Are you in the USA? I've never heard anyone in the UK call it's a pantyliner.

Is it stuck to the inside of your pyjama leg?

You're on your own with that one. It's a pantyliner.

Why have you not already mentioned it?! You've literally pushed his baby out of you but you're too embarrassed to mention a panty liner? You're massively overthinking this!

Yes you're quite right. The man has literally changed my pads for me not too many weeks ago. Is there no dignity left for me anymore.😭

Why do bad things happen to good people 😭 I just wanted a peaceful Saturday

Sorry Op but that is hilarious

Did you wear a top to bed as it mama aged it's way up in there? Or under the pillow

Ask DH it will probably give him a laugh

@custardlover It's not a sanitary towel, those have heft!

Best. Description. Ever! 😂

Ok let's retrace and go for the obscure options

Under the bed
In /attached to DH
On or attached to baby
Babies crib/blanket/ nappy sack

CherryBlossoms88 · 19/08/2023 07:39

Oh gosh I feel your pain, I’ve had that happen before!

and is, the small incredible thin ‘pads’ are called pantylines in the uk. I use the carefree ones.

Thank you for the pointers!

It's a divan so it's going to be hard work checking under there.
Not on DH.
Not on DC.

If you haven't told your DH what does he think you're doing atm - the searching but also the posting here?!

panko · 19/08/2023 07:44

In your shoe?

I just asked has he not noticed what I'm doing and he had not been paying attention at all.

He is now singing I'm sticking with you, because I'm made out of glue.

And yes, he did ask what's going on on my phone. I didn't tell him I posted about it. I just laugh-cried and he asked how is this his problem now 🥲

Haha, this is funny and I’m invested now😂
Have you checked the sides of the bed?

Paramummy3 · 19/08/2023 07:50

Missing the point completely here, but in a sea of husband bashing threads on mumsnet recently your singing, supportive husband making you feel better has made me smile!

Premfove · 19/08/2023 07:51

Did you try the living room? While you were cleaning up it might have slipped out of your pajama bottoms??

Olika · 19/08/2023 07:54

Your updates on your husband are hilarious 😂 he sounds like a fun man. Good luck with your research.

quietnightmare · 19/08/2023 07:55

What about the washing basket has it made it in there with a pile of clothes

Under the bedside table

Right it the bottom of the bed or equally fallen off the top of the bed

Are you 100 % sure it was last night you wore one of could you be mixing it up with the day before

DH reckons I folded it into the sofas somewhere 😭

Is it wedged up in your bumcrack?

It will probably never be found. Lost pantyliners get their freedom and are never seen again.

cushioncovers · 19/08/2023 07:56

Oh op I feel your embarrassment. I had one fall out of my trouser leg at work as I walked out of the cubicle not so long ago i also couldn't find it and hoped it had gone down the toilet but alas no there it was all crumpled up slightly stained on the floor for two of my colleagues to see.
