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 😭😭😭

DH binned it? My DH would if this happened

TerfTalking · 19/08/2023 08:34

I hate to tell you this OP and is quite grim but something similar happened to me when staying with friends. DH pointed out their dog had it in his mouth and was shredding it in a corner. Thank god our friends didn’t see it….. I hope.

Not in my shoe
Not in my crack
Not in the laundry
Not up my back

Wherever it is, it is having some fun
Stuck to some surface and not on my bum

ickky · 19/08/2023 08:35

Give up your search, it will never be found. Pantyliners are sneaky bastards.

I found this out the hard way during my very first period. The one and only time I used them, firmly I thought attached, I went out shopping, when I got home, it was nowhere to be found, scarred and put off for life. 😂

I was mortified.

Gladtoblasto · 19/08/2023 08:39

I'm finding it quite interesting that you are so embarrassed about it and don't want to tell your husband. I'd be telling mine and sharing the info. Different relationships I guess.

Gladtoblasto · 19/08/2023 08:41

Oh I see you've shared now Grin

At only 8.34 you won the Internet today! Bravo!!! 😂

When my ds was little he got hold of some (unused) and stuck them on the window.

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?

Huh? The small thin pads that you generally wear for maybe light spotting / discharge are called pantyliners. Take a trip to the supermarket!

I am in my 50s in the uk and pantyliners have been called pantyliners for as long as I can remember.
Why do people immediately jump to the are you in USA? Why does it matter. O p could be in any country in the world and it would have no relevance to the question she asked.

NeedTheSeaside · 19/08/2023 08:49

@Livvylau your parents sound like a bundle of fun, I bet it's been a long month! Bribe the workmen to get on with it sharpish!!

Your Mum at least surely changed your nappies. Had periods & you. They'll get over it, if they find it.

my suggestion is taking your PJ bottoms off completely & turning them inside out.

I'm menopausal and a few weeks ago something made me quite 'leaky' so I used panty liners. They have next to no stick these days, so I decided my loose legged shorts needed to be changed before I left the house. Just as well as when I got home the liner had worked it's way down my jeans leg to my ankle 🤭

I don't think the aquarium dwellers can be blamed!! 😂

it's a panty liner not the machete you used to off the annoying neighbour.

I think I'm going to have to tell DH.

Why wouldn’t you? He’s your husband, he’s seen you give birth, sure it’s fine to discuss missing panty liners!

Oblomov23 · 19/08/2023 08:52

They can fall off easily, into the loo, get stuck on the inside of your pyjamas, etc.

BCBird · 19/08/2023 08:52

Thsy happened to me the once. It was incredibly hot weather. I looked down to find it on the floor n a pub beer garden- think sweat affecting adhesive properties 🙈 retrieval was tricky

Allthingsbrightandbeautifulx · 19/08/2023 08:54

Livvylau · 19/08/2023 08:24

Not on baby or me or DH.
Praying it fell in the loo

Stuck to the bottom of your slipper?

New Dr Seuss story right there....

And it turns out she’s wearing it like a Dr Seuss-style bow tie!

WeAllLikeVindaloo · 19/08/2023 09:04

You’ll find it in like 3 days when you’re not looking for it! 🤣

Its got lost in the matrix somewhere 😆

Downunderduchess · 19/08/2023 09:09

I found mine on the bottom of my shoe once, I don’t know how long I was walking around with it there. Have no idea how it happened. I’d been at work went to the shops came home…

melon234 · 19/08/2023 09:14

If it makes you feel better, my mother, who is a total neat freak, was helping me after my baby was born with ironing, cleaning etc so I could concentrate on the baby.

She kinda took it too far and started hoovering the sofa. She does sometimes push cleaning too far as this is something I prefer to do myself as it's a bit of a grim job at times. Inside the sofa and getting all the lost coins etc.

I was in kitchen at time and my mum started putting all the things she found in a pile... coins, hair clips, barbie shoes, sweet packets etc.

Anyway she found... a used condom wrapper! It was from quite a few months prior obviously when me and husband had a moment and didn't want to wake our other other kids so hadn't gone upstairs.

And she put it on the pile of stuff. There's no way she didn't know what that was. I think she wanted to make me cringe. And she certainly did that. Neither of us have ever mentioned it.

ChoccyBickies · 19/08/2023 09:14

Do post-menopausal women need liners!?

Yes, of course they do.

Sam reason as you do and also normal discharge.

niclw · 19/08/2023 09:20

As you are sleep deprived, is it possible that you didn't put a panty liner on? Therefore it's not missing as it was never there in the first place.

ChrisPPancake · 19/08/2023 09:21

Is it stuck on the outside of your kecks? I've had that before. Looked everywhere then changed undies and there it was.

Tessisme · 19/08/2023 09:23

No idea where else you can look sorry. Just laughing here at your DH singing Jingle Bells because he's run out of nursery rhymes. That is so funny and very sweet😆😊

Abfab63 · 19/08/2023 09:26

I have a theory in the case of the lost pantyliner...

Is there a chance it's worked it's way out for your knickers up the bed and into your hair and you've been walking around with it stuck to the back of your head all morning?
