Stuff you think must happen to other people - but can't risk asking?

Anyone else have stuff happen to you that must happen to others.

But you can't really ask because what if they say "NO! How weird!" And then you can never talk to that person again. Wink

So I'm bringing it to the anonymity of Mumsnet.

I'd love to hear other peoples. And will start off.

  • whenever I wash my hair in the shower (I have long hair) loose hairs wash down my back and end up in my bum crack. End of my shower I have to check there's no hair left.

I can't be alone in this grossness! (Or can I)

Some of my t-shirts have lots of holes under my underarms. I assume it's because of acidic sweat that burns through the cotton.

Does this happen to anyone else?

JustDanceAddict · 03/02/2021 20:29

The ‘bleached knickers’ is from your discharge. It’s grim.

@MisiSam

Sometimes I will get a pain like someone has stabbed me up the bum, only lasts a second and it's really sharp!
It is called proctalgia fugax. Basically a pelvic floor spasm or shooty arse as it's more commonly known. Wish my husband could experience it just the once while I watched. I would probably die laughing 😂
HibernatingTill2030 · 03/02/2021 20:30

My pelvic area vibrates randomly!

GenevaMaybe · 03/02/2021 20:32

When I’m in a situation that makes me afraid or squeamish, my entire pelvic floor and vagina seize up into a spasm. At that point, I imagine my vagina is like a full stop in size.

73kittycat73 · 03/02/2021 20:32

I used to get Javelin arse but haven't had it for years now (This thread reminded me of it.), in fact I haven't had it since I had a hysterectomy.

Minniem2020 · 03/02/2021 20:35

@arethereanyleftatall omg yes. Wtf is that about

@Baublebox

Does anyone elses vagina store up bath water and then release it at some time after you have gotten out of the bath (usually just after you have put clean pyjamas on)? Or do I just have a massive fanny?
Yes!

Yes, I thought I might just be weird.

Does anyone else feel really sad or sort of get a sense of loneliness when their nipples are touched?

This is 'sad nipple syndrome'

theotherfossilsister · 03/02/2021 20:44

@DuzzyFuck that too. I make sure no one hears us though, but we've been doing it a lot more in lockdown. 'Oh Olives, why are you climbing Daddy's dressing gown.' Our friends would think it's super weird, but we're infertile (for now) and our ragdoll is our baby, and a vey lovely baby.

I sometimes fall over if I hear a loud noise like an ambulance siren behind me, I think that must be weird as other people don't seem to, does anyone else have this?

Yup - think there was a whole thread on this. Consensus theory at the end of it was it depended on whether you were a stand up and rinse down the back shower-er, or a lean forward and rinse bending over shower-er.

Make sure I regularly de-gunk my belly button too.

I don't have a hair in the middle of my forehead, but I do have one lone long, white, wiry eyebrow hair which seemingly grows from nothing to an inch and a half overnight every so often. I call him Dennis (after Dennis Healey - which dates me).

Denny53 · 03/02/2021 20:49

I’m so old that in my day you always had an enema and dry shave !! Horrendous!!

GorgeousLadyofWrestling · 03/02/2021 20:49

It was thanks to a thread like this that I realised there was nothing wrong with me/ my vagina for bleaching the inside gusset of my knickers! As a teenager I was convinced I was just really dirty because I had no idea about the ph levels of a vagina - but god bless Mumsnet because I finally found out it was A Thing and a very normal thing too.

GladysNarracott · 03/02/2021 20:54

@sqirrelfriends
I get this whenever I see anyone hurt themselves, like on You've Been Framed etc. A momentary aching pain in my calves.

Luckyelephant1 · 03/02/2021 20:55

Sometimes if I fart on a heavy day of my period it unleashes a period gush... they are different holes so why does this happen 😂 please say this is normal...

SmellsLikeAHamsterCage · 03/02/2021 20:55

I get period pain at the top of my thighs. It's so weird and painful.

Is this around your period? Lots of women get this! Not sure what it is but TikTokers have discussed it sometimes and thousands in the comments say they get it
Mandalakia · 03/02/2021 20:59

When I was pregnant with ds I had varicose veins INSIDE my vagina. Oh my god the pain, and the feeling of all the blood rushing down and filling them up when I stood up in the morning.

I have quite long inner labia. They get twisted and irritated and sometimes after a wee I will stretch the outer labia around them to put them back in.

EleanorTopaz · 03/02/2021 20:59

HibernatingTill2030 I also have a vibrating pelvis. I call it fizzy fanny, it can go on for days. I googled it and apparently it’s a small muscle deep inside vibrating.

That is something I genuinely thought was just me. I didn’t breastfeed my second child after the first few days because it just makes me so sad and anxious!!

I think the nightmare orgasm really is just me though by the sounds of it 😄

Seriously79 · 03/02/2021 21:03

Arse daggers 😂 thank god, there is name for them!!

Love a good bogie too, there's nowt wrong with picking your snout!

Seriously79 · 03/02/2021 21:04

@arethereanyleftatall

Fanny farts during doggy.
Yep! Been there my friend 😂
Directionerforever · 03/02/2021 21:06

I don’t get sad nipples but sometimes I get an intense rage if DH touches them, even in a situation where that would be fine and I’m in the mood. It’s bizarre, the strength of feeling, I could knock him clean out 😳

There are people who bend forward to rinse their hair in the shower???

😲🤯
