Do you hang knickers on the line?

[Simpsonsfan]

Or Bras for that matter. I've got a washing line for the first time ever but what is the done thing?

Yes, where else would you hang them?

😂😂😂

no

There have been a few threads over the years of women neighbours complaining that an OP hangs her undies on the line "because my husband shouldnt have to see that". Obviously what was meant was "I dont like that my husband sees that" and the advice has always been to go to primark and buy a load of cheap "sexy" undies and hand them out for a few washes so your boring black M&S knickers will seem positively modest by comparison!

Yes, most definitely, I even hang DDs teeny tiny thongs right at the front but there is so little material to them the neighbours probably couldn't see them and they've normally dried in the time it take for me to lift them from the basket and peg them up.
I'm more embarrassed about my crap, torn, but very useful t towels that have seen better days.

Yeah

I do. I've started making Waves and Wild Wonder Undies for myself recently they are the comfiest pants ever. But omg they are big lol

DH hangs all our pants out in the garden for all the neighbours to see. I don't want my neighbours seeing my pants so I move them to a more discreet part of the garden, or inside. But then I also have an issue generally with where DH puts the washing in the garden, we don't have a line and he puts the airer right outside our nice kitchen doors spoiling the view into the garden. There's a place you can put the airer to one side so it's out of the way and less visible for neighbours but DH refuses to comply so I usually have to move things around when he's hung the washing out!

Yes, they're just clothes. Everyone wears underwear. I've never understood why some people are so weird about this.

This. I hung dc washable nappies out there too.

Why wouldn't I?

Yes... my mind is boggled trying to figure out how else I'm meant to dry them!

Yep. They go on the socktopus

Yup. And my chub-rub knickers which are real granny pants. I'd be surprised if anyone found them alluring!

Yes. Can't have the neighbours thinking I don't wear knickers.

Bloody hell! What sort of person comments on their neighbour's washing?!

I assume other people hang their underwear out to dry just like we do, but I wouldn't know... what sort of person is actually interested in examining the contents of their neighbours' washing line? I don't think for a second that anyone could care less about seeing my knickers.

Pervs.

I can think of a at least 3 men I know (thankfully only through work) who would. Manky. Its bad enough serving them beer, cant imagine living next to them....eurrgh.

They shit all over our cars, and our windows, and pretty much everything else in our garden, even our roses, so I pretty reckon any washing would also get crapped on. It's mostly the starlings! We also get collared doves and wood pigeons so I imagine they splatter a pretty sizeable dump!

Yes but strategically placed so they can’t be seen by neighbours (we are very overlooked)

Omg, I'm googling culotte slips right now. I have never heard of such a thing.

I agree with you on this you can't have them darked on!
That's when the 🕷️ 🕸️ rub their 🥒 🥒 on them

No I find them too fiddly to bother with. Underwear and socks get tumbled.

What would be more embarrassing: neighbours thinking you wear underwear, or neighbours thinking you DON’T wear underwear?

Congratulations on your washing line OP!

90% of mine go on line, but I do have some massive, holey grim things reserved for heavy period days only. I do hide those inside, or on a clothes horse. I know it's wrong to feel they have to be hidden, but there you go.
