Do you hang your undies on the washing line?

[sweetpickle2]

Just that really.

I had a friend round for a cup of tea and as I was hanging up my washing she was horrified I was putting up my undies (just basic M&S black knickers, nothing out of the ordinary!) and said she always hangs her delicates inside as she "doesn't think her neighbours want to see that".

Am I the weird one??

Yes of course we do. There would be literally zero embarrassment if any neighbours or visitors saw any of our underwear on the line.

I do put my arse-less biker chaps and nipple tassels in the airing cupboard though.

Never occurred to me not to.

I peg it all out and shame the devil! 😈

I do however make sure that my massive pants are anchored by at least 3 pegs each in case they take off in the breeze and get mistaken for a barrage balloon. If they landed in someone's garden I would have to disown them.

Yes. I hang my knicker and bras ion the line. Apart from refusing to hide away normal clothing, it is also better for hygiene to hang them outside. The sun and wind helps to kill any bacteria, fungal spores etc. Most of that will not be eliminated with a 40C wash.

I hang mine out. The village church recently asked to borrow them as they were short of marquees for the Church Fete. Obviously, they only wanted the hole ones!

I did at one time have designated period pants, not the proper ones with pads, just some stained, saggy, sad looking things with the elastic coming off that I didn't mind my hideous peri periods ruining. They stayed indoors as they were grim!

Course I do! The sexy ones, the periods ones and the comfortable ones and I care not a shit what people think because it’s my house and my garden and I’ll do whatever I want in it!

Please explain

I did, but our dog saw it as an eat the crotch challenge whilst they were hanging and it got expensive so now they go into the airing cupboard.

Neighbours both sides hang theirs out.

Another vote to hang them out. Same rule for DP's pants. I think my neighbours have better things to do than stare at my washing and vice versa

Your friend is nuts. Why do you associate with such weirdos?

I think that’s spiders….

Those of you who don’t hang them out - do you look at other people’s pants on washing lines and actively think things about them? If so, please share what these thoughts are.

i do hang all washing out and can honestly say in my five decades on this earth I have never had a conscious thought about others peoples washing lines.

Mine are dangling from the socktopus as I type. I can't imagine anyone is particularly wanting to hang out of their bathroom window to lust after my apple catchers.

Yes, either straight on the line or on a knicker hanger. Like my neighbour, we both hang them close to the house rather than in the middle of the line.

Not sure why but it isn't just me!

Yes. Who cares if someone's weird enough to gawp at them .

Everything goes on the line here when the weather cooperates.

Socktopus! Keeping that one 🤣

I do but they go on the inside of the line so bigger items cover them, like T-shirts

Yep.

Yes I hang them out

If I’m going to bother putting washing out everything goes out so yes my undies go on the line , I shouldn’t imagine my neighbours are remotely interested in the contents of my washing .

I do. Have never seen my neighbours hang out washing come to think of it. They are free to look at all the many sizes and types of underwear I hang out if they wish. Mine are useful for emergency tents.

No can't be that, I have a MASSIVE spider problem. Salt and Conker's are a complete fail.....maybe I should suspend the family undies above the doors and windows like bunting and see if that puts the little critters off entering.

I don’t! My DD does but no-one wants to see our undies!! I’d use a clothes horse outside though as harder to see down - we’re overlooked by flats.

Yes and my strap ons
