AIBU to change the bed sheets after DH farted in bed?

[Greyblankie]

DH thinks it’s excessive. My argument is he literally fired gas out of his arse which would have then settled on the fabrics. If it had just been a small pump I wouldn’t have been that bothered but it was a big forced fart.

Be honest, is there anyone here that would have done the same? In my defence they were getting near due to be changed anyway, this just brought it forward a few days

Id literally be changing the bed every hour in my house. I let them disperse. We have a dehumidifier that helps.

Wear underwear if you find it that horrible.

Your DH is very agreeable to (generally) stick to your farting-ban, tbh. I definitely wouldn’t 🤣

Really????!!!!

Oh lord, you are an actual nut job. Get some therapy, please.

You do know that causes cancer, right?

Blood hell if I had to change my bedsheet every time I farted,I'd never get any sleep 😂

Best comment yet! 😆😆

Top tip ….. fart on a tissue and there’s no volume! ….. and it’s only the warm ones that smell.

I had to come back to this thread to share that I am still chuckling about farticles/sharticles.

I have also been wondering the undie situation. @Greyblankie does your DH sleep in the nude? Or is there a polyester safety net (undies/pjs).

We could invent the farticle proof underpant. Just imagine that idea on Sharktank.

Introducing the FartLock. Reliably informed by ChatGPT that such a thing exists

I find it continually astonishing that people can function in life with this sort of fastidiousness about ordinary bodily functions.

Its so utterly bizarre and irrational to think its even possible to eliminate fart gas from our environment. Never mind desirable.

If you follow through on this (pun not intended) you would be changing underwear every hour throughout the day and changing bedsheets multiple times a day. It’s lunacy.

Just use a cork - much cheaper.

Dangerous though. Could put your eye out depending on positioning, direction & wind speed.

I'm killing myself laughing here! And others' comments here have had me crying with laughter, too!

It was a fart, not a poo or a wee!

If you changed the bedding every time a fart was let off, yours included, you'd never do anything but change bedding!

The ones I let out are like when worlds collide, real huge bombers they are, multiple, loud enough to set off alarms 5 streets away and make me lose 25 stone in a few seconds, very vibratory and nicely presented and everything, but when in bed, I just roll the duvet back and let the stinkers waft out of the open window!

Pooticles and poopetrators 😂

haven't rtft so someone may have already mentioned this seminal study (Christmas BMJ 2001 IIRC)... but you'll be pleased to know there is evidence that so long as he was wearing something the chances of bacterial contamination are low. If you fart with pants on there's more likely to be skin flora (which he'd be shedding anyway), but pants off and there is more likely a wider distribution of bowel flora.

If you change the sheets everytime somebody farts you would be changing them daily.

'Bowel Flora' would be a good name for a new scent of Glade Plug-in...or possibly a flavour of Pot Noodle.

After all, 'pot pourri' means 'rotten pot' - and there's no shortage of hoaching houseproud crowds eager to buy that.

If that's the rule, one lad I knew at university must never have farted at all in a whole year!!

However you react, OP, please make sure that you're very gentle and discreet and don't try to make your DH feel bad about it.

For the good of both of you, you really don't want to put the wind up him.

I know a lot's changed since I last studied anatomy, but I'm not sure they've quite got the anatomy and physiology of a fart quite right!

I did see a product once that was essentially a grey bag shaped like a banana, filled with charcoal, that you had to shuffle into place comfortably and firmly in your bum crack.

Just don't completely ruin Christmas and have the kids wailing and sobbing by accidentally confusing it with the family Bananagrams game, though!

Lavender and fart smell mixed together 🤢

Some of these responses are hilarious 🤣

I wake myself up farting sometimes. Like hell am I going to get up and change the bed in the middle of the night. I will just have to fester in my own poo particles (have done so far, not dead yet).
