To hang my underwear on the washing line?

[lojanto]

I've hung clothes out to dry a couple of times this year when the weather has been nicer.

My friend came over and was horrified that my underwear was hung out (a mix of bras, big pants, things etc.) with the rest of the clothes.

It's not something that's ever entered my mind before, am I BU?!

My garden is quite overlooked.

Mine are on the washing line as we speak. That is what washing lines are for! Can’t imagine being offended by someone else’s clean socks blowing in the wind!

Do people really struggle then and get embarrassed when walking around the M+S knicker section when they’re shopping?!

There are all sorts of gussets on show in my neighbourhood when the weather’s warm.

Mine also get dried outside and we have an overlooked garden. I’m not bothered about anyone seeing them or indeed seeing my neighbours’ undies! I’d be interested if people think the same about drying swimwear outside, quite frankly the bikinis I wear on holiday cover as much if not less than my underwear (especially my lovely sports bras 😂).

I put mine on a clip thing shielded by sheets etc because our village has a Knicker Nicker and I was a victim several times. Also, never go out or go to bed and leave things out, can't afford to keep buying new pants for perverts to steal. But if I lived in a place where pants did not need protection, no issues.

HUSSY !

(Would my granny have said )

Hang mine indoors as have a Pervy neighbour

This comment makes me want to just wash underwear to hang out tomorrow

Yes. I remember the knicker nicker. There was probably more than one nationwide. I still hang my pants on the line though.

I peg underwear, socks and hankies on an airer and put it outside the back door. It’s not modesty, it’s so that when the rain starts I can grab it quickly and shove it inside the door without unpegging everything.

I do it, I don't care what anyone thinks! If someone hasn't got better things to be doing than studying your underwear on the line, they have a sad little life!

I never hang my knickers and bras outside on the line because I don't want to get spiders on them.

Everyone else's go on the line no problem. All the neighbours do around here.

I once asked my (now ex) friend why she used the tumble dryer all year round instead of using her washing line. She insisted the neighbours didn't like seeing washing
on thr line. Made no sense to me since i doubt her neigjbours would have been able to see her line. and how could it upset anyone?! people are strange.

its years ago now but friends of ours rented a house in a naice area quite near to us (south of England) Shortly after they moved in, the wife asked me if it was done to hang out her underwear on the line here. I said yes and asked why. Apparently the estate agent who managed the house had told her that the neighbours had complained because the husband could see her underwear hanging on her line. the punch line is he would have had to hang out of an upstairs window to do so!!

I’ve got a rotating washing line and do hang knickers either on the inner rungs where they’re not visible anyway because those rungs are shorter or from my IKEA spider. I do take them in if I think of it before the window cleaner comes.

Mine get hung on the line and, to my knowledge, none of the neighbours has ever commented in the 28 years I’ve lived here.
I do tend to hang them on the shorter inner bits of my rotary clothesline though, only because the clothes like jeans take longer to dry if they’re not towards the outside.

I'm sat outside in full view of my underwear drying, also boxer shorts, my neighbours all have the same! What's the problem? Xx

Just got a socktopus, it's great! Xx

I wouldn't worry my neighbour puts hers on the washing line in the front garden 🙄 which personally I think is a bit much but the back garden fine.

Did she call then unmentionables? People can be so peculiar.

Just those priests in Father Ted 😂😂😂

We all wear it (or mostly). I have hung the odd load out the front as it's sunnier!

🤣

You'd love my daughter! She has autism and can get very anxious about her health and body so i was worried she would find periods difficult to cope with when they started.
Not a bit, she was fascinated by it all (not so much now, a couple of years on, the novelty has definitely worn off!) and she gave no hoots about whether it was 'polite' to discuss them (loudly, in the supermarket) or - on one occassion - trot to her Dad's car for a day out with a bag of Lillets towels cheerfully swinging from her wrist by its ribbon.
She gives NO shits 😁

Yanbu however I don’t hang mine out! I have an IKEA octopus thing and I clip all socks and pants on there. They dry overnight but I realise I’m lucky as I have a utility room. I do sometimes hang outside but not in a place neighbours can see. I don’t know why I’m coy, just don’t want the bloke next door looking at mine and my DD20’s intimate clothing.

I have a communal garden as I live in a flat, my underwear goes on the line on one of those round octopus hanger things.
