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 😭😭😭

When my bf came home on leave my mum let him stay on the sofa.
I wasn't 16 at this point.
I had snuck down in the night and the next day he came up and knocked my door with the pants I had been wearing the night before telling me my mum wanted to speak me.
I was worried....
When I got downstairs he was pissing himself, he'd found them down the sofa.
I had a liner fall out of my trousers in a pub. It was very busy and I don't think anyone realised it was mine (nor did I until I saw it, very drunk) and have never used them again.

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.

Because some people love to look (what they perceive to be) smart - when actually they are just a bit of a dick! At least sometimes though their point is actually correct despite being unnecessary unlike this one as pretty much the entire Uk apart from that poster class then pantyliners as that's what's printed on the box!

Seasidechippylover · 19/08/2023 09:39

If you're anything like me, it probably is in your pajamas, you just can't see it, because you're looking for it. You'll find it in the washing machine.

It's a pad?

Do people call knickers pantys?

A pad is bigger and thicker. A liner is a pantyliner.
Panties, as I believe they are called in the USA, are often called pants, knickers and a few other things.
Whereabouts are you in the world?

Do post-menopausal women need liners! ?

Do you think they just close up and wither away @Livvylau ?

No haha, but for example if one stops having periods,.then I wondered if the cycle of having discharge etc is no longer present.

This happened to me once! DH and I were sorting dirty laundry together (we were at Uni) and he found it while shoving clothes into the washing machine. I was absolutely mortified.

I remember frantically hunting for it at the time I noticed it missing.

Still don't know how or when it got there. I'm still trying to work it out and it happened in 2006!

Also, yes they are called panty liners in the UK :)

summersun29 · 19/08/2023 10:12

Sorry OP but this is hilarious! Made me smile.

If it makes you feel better, I have a pantyliner related horror story of my own.

I was staying with my then boyfriend (we both lived with parents at the time) and I was on my period. I don't know what possessed me, and I've never done this in my life, but I was embarrassed about disposing of the pad so flushed it down the loo. I'm guessing because maybe there was no bathroom bin, God knows why I didn't just wrap it up and take it with me! Anyway, as you can imagine, it blocked the loo and they spent hours trying to fix it and figure out what was going on. Thankfully, they never found out but I felt soooo bad!

I ended up marrying my boyfriend so they're now my PILs, have never admitted it!

Dungareelass · 19/08/2023 10:13

Definitely called panty liners in Sainsburys too!

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?

They are labelled pantyliners on the packaging so I think we all call them that now.

Hate to tell up you OP but menopause means I wear a pad sometimes because the pile I got from having 2 babies 30 years ago occasionally decides to bleed with no warning and usually when I’m wearing white!

Does praying to St Anthony work for finding used pantyliners?

Dibbydoos · 19/08/2023 10:22

Your hubby will wake up with it stuck to he ass, @Livvylau 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You can buy pantyliners here. They are very thin, not to be confused with sanitary towels.

Dungareelass · 19/08/2023 10:27

Maybe ikeahelp needs general "in store assistance" to help find products that they didn't know existed 😁

RoomOfRequirement · 19/08/2023 10:30

Only semi related but can anyone else not wear pantyliners because they absolutely no matter what do not stay on/in place? My vagina definitely eats them as it's always attached to that or my thigh when I take my trousers down for a wee. Or completely rolled up and absolutely useless. I have had more than 1 fall into the toilet .

Absolutely despise them.

Oldraver · 19/08/2023 10:33

I use reusable ones and they mostly stay in my pants

Apart from one drunken night in Tonbridge Wells when it was jetisoned on my way back to the hotel.

It was still there in the morning

Of course it's a pantyliner

SpongeBobSquarePantaloons · 19/08/2023 10:37

OP I have no idea where it is but I'm very intrigued now 😂 that would drive me crazy too

Mingomang · 19/08/2023 10:38

There was a used one on the floor of duty free Heathrow T3 last week? Could that of been it?

Itsnotrightbutitsok · 19/08/2023 10:38

Is it in your trouser leg?

I have lost my underwear many times in my trouser leg when I take them both off at the same time.

They then either fall out of the bottom of the trousers or hide in there and I usually find them after I’ve washed the trousers and put them back on and feel a lump.

In the UK it’s a pantyliner, indeed that’s what it says on the box!,

I agree.

It was such a pointless comment and they were obviously trying to be rude but it backfired on them.

Did you check the inside of the duvet cover?

StuffLoriThangs · 19/08/2023 10:44

It’s not stuck to your ass?
