to go commando whilst wearing jeans

Had some low cut jeans on yesterday.

SIL said 'how do you wear those without your knickers showing over the top'

Me: 'don't wear knickers'

SIL: Shock HOW can you go commando.

She was seriously shocked that I didn't wear knickers. I said how the bloody hell can you - skinny jeans so a VPL would show, if you wore a g string it would peek out over the top and look horrible.

She made me feel a complete bohemian.

Ah, Mumnet at it's very best. Laugh out loud funny, eye opening, educational and honest.

Now why doesn't The Wail run these MN stories?

Look you lot. I am trying to type up someones appraisal here and this thread is causing me to spit tea all over my laptop and get no work done. Priceless Grin

Where are all the poets and Haiku writers when we need them?

Now Knickers on the head is something I can identify with. Very useful when doing your makeup - but I only use clean ones Confused

elastamum · 12/08/2010 13:30

And I am a bleached blonde Grin

elastamum · 12/08/2010 13:35

Maybe thats it!!! Instead of doing my roots all I need to do is go to bed each night with yesterdays knickers on my head. Bingo Bleaching effect = job done !!! Grin

(you can tell I am a lone parent - expect the girls on the dating thread might have soemthing to say about this idea)

COD, that's who!

Were you here then?

CatIsSleepy · 12/08/2010 14:12

interesting thread Grin
do you never catch your pubes in the zip?

MinnieMummy · 12/08/2010 14:23

Spider - sorry to ruin your theory, but I've never experienced the post-bath phenomenon but can attest to the other two traits. Have just had third DC though so it's quite possibly just a matter of time...

Heartsease · 12/08/2010 14:33

Have you never left your flies open?

GetOrfMoiLand · 12/08/2010 15:07

Have you ever trapped your pubes - YES. I remember doing so in M&S changing rooms and yelping. My best friend stood outside pissed herself (not literally) when I told her what I did.

AvrilHeytch, that was the question I was afraid to ask!

isthatporridgeinyourhair · 12/08/2010 17:35

Avril Yuck - I'll never be able to try on a pair of jeans without checking for someone's secretions now.

ChippingIn · 12/08/2010 19:46

GOML - I'm all for going commando - but please tell me you meant swimming bath changing rooms and not clothes shopping changing rooms....??

Please.

All you other regular commandos (of which I can be one at times), you don't try on clothes commando do you????

Oh god Avril, I think I must have blanked that out.

GOML - that's not on :( Please tell me you were trying on tops and your fly just worked its way down....

I mean, you get those signs saying 'For health reasons please keep your undies on' (worded far more nicely though) I always though, Hmm wtf - who wouldn't??? now I know.

Does this mean I'm now going to have to resign myself to wearing trousers a size too big because I can't try them on until I've washed them?

chipmonkey · 12/08/2010 21:40

Envy at half day periods. And I am in the too much discharge camp as well.

BigHairyLeggedSpider · 12/08/2010 21:48

There's a camp for people with too much discharge? Do they sit around in Yurts and use Hand Mirrors to share discharge horror stories???
