Fanny condensation

On plastic chairs. Just me?

Please tell me it's not just me. It happened tonight at school parents meeting. Stood up after a nice chat with the maths teacher and there is it, the diamond shaped condensation patch of doom.

I nearly name changed because i am very embarrassed, but fuck it.

I regularly suffer Ball Fog especially after running - it seems the polyester retains moisture but of course it can happen anywhere you sit on a plastic or vinyl surface

Never spotted it after a lady has been sitting down - one doesn't look for it so ladies don't worry !

And for the record I've never heard a fanny trump in public anyway ;)

I am crying with laughter.

Fanny comdensation has gone viral.

Em...fucking ew.

I didn't have any trouble conceiving with my bleachy cunny, but I never get thrush ;)

mother It annoys the hell out of me because I can never wear black knickers, and I'm really not a white pants kind of gal, if you know what I mean ... Grin

MotherFluffer Cross at the ankle or at the knee?

MadeMan · 11/11/2016 20:14

Is this why the windows on my bus were all steamed up at 7.30am this morning?

If I'd known it was due to copious arse and fanny condensation, I wouldn't have drawn a smiley face with my finger on the window where I was sitting; I'd have drawn a sad face instead.

MotherFluffer · 11/11/2016 20:20

At the knee, Locked.

JingleJess I go for black and just live with the bleachyness, I guess it's like a mark of ownership? lol

ToastMakesMeHappy · 11/11/2016 20:34

I've genuinely never laughed out loud at a thread until this one. DH asked what I was laughing at and he says it happens to him too. We are not alone ladies.

Stevewilts · 11/11/2016 20:57

Bleach ? Now that's gotta sting !

I don't think us guys do anything similar

dudsville · 11/11/2016 21:07

I forgot about bleached knicker crotches! That ended for me a few years ago at least and I'm early 40's.

I see some of these science lessons are to take on for a few. I don't mean to confuse the issue with my input so if you're still not clear about what condensation is don't read on. This thread, as well as giving me some much needed laughs, has reminded me of a recent event. I was having a lot of physio in a hot room over the summer and some of it required me to sit on the pleather bed table thing. When I stood up there would be sweat patches. It never occurred to me to be embarrassed by them. And my physio therapist was a very professional good looking young man (who I did chastise however for once letting me leave with wonky mascara because of the hole in the bed where you rest your face). I'm glad to have this opportunity to recognise that I have moved on from the shame instilled from an early age about things our bodies do. When I sweat it's not only just on my delicate lady brow that I sweat.

MINDTROPE
I'm with you completely on this. We are right. The moisture has to come from a source. Otherwise the chairs would be damp before we sat down. All of these so- called scientists are way off the mark. I too have never heard or seen this , don't suffer from it, but the rest just don't get it. We're not being 'superior'.

ItShouldHaveBeenJingleJess · 11/11/2016 21:23

duds Reminds me of the "Horses sweat, men perspire and ladies merely glow" quote. So it's not technically fanny condensation left on seats but more of an 'after-glow'.

As for the mascara thing; this happened to me after a recent dental appt - I'm terrified of the dentist so was 'glowing' profusely - was only after I left that I realised I had black lines down my face!

icedtea · 11/11/2016 21:36

I remember seeing this on school plastic chairs in cold weather-- its completely normal condensation and nothing to do with body secretions.
When warm air comes comes into contact with a cold surface condensation occurs.

Think about when you get into your car on a cold day - the windows become misty. Yet this doesn't happen on warm days despite the fact that you are presumably more sweaty.

dudsville · 11/11/2016 21:39

Gawd Itshould! I had also had acupuncture, which always left me woozy so I was kind of gliding home through town and got home and at some point looked in a mirror to see the mascara issue. He couldn't NOT have seen it. We had a long discussion about make up during the next session. I answered his question about what young women were doing recently to look stripey and I explained contouring.

SuperFlyHigh · 11/11/2016 21:44

Yes I get this with plastic chairs. Have to be careful and do a swivel. I think wearing panty liners helps. Which I do!

Does anyone find that if you have period that also makes it worse too eg if you wear sanitary towels. I swear I've had fanny sweat due to that and always used to sell wet wipes for wiping bloody hairs (sorry if TMI) but I don't buy those now due to scenting!

ItShouldHaveBeenJingleJess · 11/11/2016 21:56

Grin I think I may have created my own 'triangle of terror' after reading that!

bellie710 · 11/11/2016 22:11

God this happpened to me in the summer at my cousins wedding luckily noticed it and managed to slide my scarf on it!

dudsville · 11/11/2016 22:26

Ha ha, I think HE probably did too itshould!

ItShouldHaveBeenJingleJess · 11/11/2016 22:26

Am I the only one who has used an ice pop as an overnight emergency remedy for 'feminine itching'? Aaaaah, the relief - although it melted surprisingly quickly.

Might name-change in the morning.

justwanttoweeinpeace · 11/11/2016 22:41

I love this thread. Reminds me of this:

https://g.co/kgs/qNi0GW

There are definitely some vaginas with built in utilities round here. Grin

JayneAusten · 11/11/2016 22:43

I'm imagining the scene, now this 'twist and slide' move has come to light, at my next office meeting. Room full of women... "Right ladies, I think that's all for today. Sorry it's taken so long, I know it's a bit hot in here. You may go." Then there's a pause and the entire room full of women twist and slide weirdly off their chairs as one.

😂😂😂😂 I am absolutely loving this thread; its had me ROFL!! And can understand it EXACTLY! Always thought it was just me! 😳😳 But now, I am amongst friends! FlowersFlowersFlowers
