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

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

This is mad. What unsanitary things do you think are expelled when farting that would "settle" on the fabric enough to mean it needed washing almost immediately?

Did he snap first?

OP, don't sit on any chair ever again. They've all been farted on. Your sofa, your friend's sofa, your deskchair at work, bus seats etc etc.
Gas-fired seating everywhere. Nowhere is safe.

M&s french lavender fabric spray, will help with fart smell and be a relaxing smell

I silently farted into my bed sheets in the time it took to read the OP.

WiddlinDiddlin · 11/04/2026 22:06

I am imagining the OP has a plastic covered sofa, or a great deal with DFS...

Dear god we’d be changing the sheets every day in our house. Get over yourself!

I would have to change them multiple times a night (I'm a lactose intolerant cheese addict)

YANBU. Someone I know died once after her “D”H farted in their bed.

They died from a fart?! Was it made from Sarin gas?

WiddlinDiddlin · 11/04/2026 21:58

Er, no sorry, I don't have enough bedding or time in the day to do that.

If either of us sharted in the bed, yes of course, but for a fart, no. I make sure I buy bedding that is robust enough to survive a fart.

This has absolutely tickled me 😂😂😂😂

ModestlyPrudent · 11/04/2026 22:07

@Greyblankie keep the sheets, change the DH!

Greyblankie · 11/04/2026 22:00

Must admit I’m suprised by the comments so far! I thought at least one person would agree with me 😂

No one agrees with you, because you’re being absolutely ridiculous. Do you think farts contain actual shit?

DoYouWantHalfThisSandwich · 11/04/2026 22:08

Ah, one of the few perks of having an ileostomy - those pesky farts are fully contained. Unless there’s bag leakage. Now, there’s a reason to be changing the bed linen!

WiddlinDiddlin · 11/04/2026 22:09

Maybe particles of shit in the fart? Farticles? Shiticles? Sharticles?

This is the first time I have seriously considered the particulate content of a fart... thanks OP.

Ah, probably the mumsnet “Poo Crumbs” you only hear about on here.

LegoTherapy · 11/04/2026 22:10

Just when you think you’ve read it all on here.

Chocolatecoffeecup · 11/04/2026 22:10

No it wouldn't occur to me to change the sheets after a fart.

I really don't think it stays in the sheets and we do air off our sheets in the morning before making the bed plus bedroom window is almost always open.

tnorfotkcab · 11/04/2026 22:11

If you do this... surely you'd have to change your knickers after every fart??

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 11/04/2026 22:12

@Greyblankie - I commend you for being the most Mumsnetty person posting tonight. 🤣

flagpolesitta · 11/04/2026 22:12

Nah there’s no way this is real 😂

keepswimming38 · 11/04/2026 22:14

Do you fart op? After you fart do you change your clothes? Just interested!

It’s different when the fart belongs to you! If OP had forced fart, she’d probably be laughing, maybe even sniffing and definitely not thinking of changing the sheets.

But men farting, in the same bed, just seems absolutely gross! 🤢

Why is it gross when men do it?

Mine can be so bad, if Trump found out, he’d be invading my house, thinking I was enriching weapons grade uranium.
