If you use re-usable/washable sanitary pads, do or would you line dry them after washing assuming four or five neighbours can easily see them?

I wouldn’t.

I still don't get it 😂

The bits of the line near the poles are the most visible because they're the most elevated.

Rotary line. Apparently the prudish hide their scanties in the middle, surrounded by towels.

Nappies yes i do.

Could I ask why please? That’s all I used with mine (unless it was an emergency!).

Nah, i wouldn’t…it wouldn’t be something I would want to look at in my garden. Not cos I’m ashamed of periods or anything like that, it’s just not very aesthetic.

😬I had never heard of a rotary washing line until this thread 😬

"Inner bit" makes a lot more sense now.

I just wouldn`t have the stomach to clean out someones poop then wash out whats left.
Im sure it works for you as its cheaper but i couldnt.

My lacy knicks are on a seperate hanger on the outer edge of the rotary so they get full sun and dry quick. Never hide underwear whilst drying it.

no one sees my line and I put socks knickers etc on one of those hanging carousels so easier to get in takes less pegs too. most people would not know what they were anyway probably think cleaning things

Why use reusable sanitary pads really… very unhygienic

oh yes, I also throw away any knickers, trousers, pjs, bedding etc if I have a leak. Very unhygienic. 🙄🙄

I put period pants out, don't see why you wouldn't.

Although I’ll admit I’m bleurgh at the thought of them, as I like modern solutions to periods, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with pegging them outside. No one else’s business.

Live a bit, @GlobalTravellerbutespeciallyBognor -- glance over a few fences. You may discover astonishing sights, like people's lace scanties and droopy Y-fronts gaily dancing in the breeze.
