What are the chances this is innocent? I was just going through my laundry and found a pair of white knickers that are definitely not mine.

No big problems in our relationship, he would like sex more often than me but when we do have it it’s very loving. He isn’t acting any differently and has always been very loyal.

Wwyd?

NOT sexy?! Good lord, what do you call sexy these days?

You should see the great big reinforced gusseted bloomers I wear!

Ha! I thought the same thing!

Nishky · 18/06/2019 20:43

I thought the rule was you were more likely to pull in unsexy knickers- always my experience when single. I rather alarmed one young man by whipping my knickers off from under my skirt and throwing them behind a chair so he couldn’t see them......

So no, the fact that it is not a lace thing means nothing.

Nishky · 18/06/2019 20:44

Thong not thing!

I bought a pack of MASSIVE pants just before I had dd. 'These will be nice for just after birth' I thought.

2 years later, and I am still wearing them ....

DoctorDread · 18/06/2019 20:45

Blimey I don't get the knicker hatred!! I'm wearing some like that and I thought they were quite pretty. I feel quite deflated in the knicker department after some comments here. I now have pant anxiety!

sqirrelfriends · 18/06/2019 20:46

@foreverhanging Snap. Mine are my favourite, comfiest pairs. Blush

DoctorDread · 18/06/2019 20:46

Pantsiety!!!

icantstopeatingg · 18/06/2019 20:48

Im in my 20's and they knickers are fancier than all mine 😂😳

Hope it's nothing op.

ShowMeTheKittens · 18/06/2019 20:50

I think they are mine. No they are definitely mine... they are Marks and Spencers I believe.
What do you MEAN, they aren't sexy?
They are. Sort of. Just need ironing. Not that I iron knickers.

dancingcamper · 18/06/2019 20:52

I am flummoxed by the shagging knickers comments. As they aren't everyday wear do you put them on just before meeting your lover?

Do they actually make people (men?) want to have sex more?

It's just that getting naked as quickly as possible seems to be the main aim in my experience and what was on is almost irrelevant.

QueenOfTheCroneAge · 18/06/2019 20:53

Knickers can congregate behind radiators, but usually they stay there unless pushed out

What are they planning? A mass wedgie? Confused

Shesontome · 18/06/2019 20:54

They are much sexier than any pair of pants I own.

I used to use the changing rooms at the gym regularly and occasionally would come home with a sock or pair of trackie bottoms that wasn’t mine (as well as losing the odd item). Could something like have happened?

You didn't know women wore sexy lingerie for their sexual encounters?

managedmis · 18/06/2019 20:55

So where actually were they?

Laundry basket? Washing machine? Clean washing? Where?

saraclara · 18/06/2019 20:56

I have a dozen pairs of those knickers. I thought they were nice and pretty. Now I discover that they're deeply unsexy.

I wouldn’t wear those to work or even under my gardening jeans, let alone a date night.

Those are the most unsexy knickers ever

...etc

They're really crinkled from being screwed up. Maybe an old pair of your aunts she doesn't recognise

Mary1935 · 18/06/2019 21:04

Hi Op you need to just keep an eye on things going forward. You may not get answers to where they came from. I’d be checking his phone actually - I know others may not agree. Try and keep your emotions and suspicions low key and watch.

Honeyroar · 18/06/2019 21:07

@ Kennehora What's neither one thing or the other about them?? They're just a pair of knickers!

BottomleyPottsSpots2 · 18/06/2019 21:08

I had a really similar experience a while back - bog standard, well worn knickers appeared in my washing one day (maroon, M&S, with a little beige bow, size 12). No idea where they came from and we never figured it out (possibly MIL left them when staying - I never got round to asking her) but it definitely wasn't an affair!

NaturalBornWoman · 18/06/2019 21:11

So where actually were they?

Laundry basket? Washing machine? Clean washing? Where?

Yes, exactly. Not enough info. Are they freshly washed? Do they smell of your washing? Do you go to the gym, or swimming? So many unanswered questions. If your husband is up to no good he's hardly likely to put a pair of his lover's pants in your laundry basket is he? Whereas if they're not clean and you found them under the bed......

theemmadilemma · 18/06/2019 21:11

Not affair pants. They look grotty.

My Partner can see my grotty ones. But if I was having an affair I can't imagine I'd be wearing them...

Gwlondon · 18/06/2019 21:15

Don’t you ever get a pair of pants or a sock stuck in a trouser leg that eventually falls out? If you re wear trousers for a second day. Or jeans.
So basically have any women been to your home wearing trousers?

puppy23 · 18/06/2019 21:17

These are basically my everyday knickers - though usually in black admittedly. Shocked so many find them so horrible!

Looneytune253 · 18/06/2019 21:20

This has happened twice in my house too. We do have a teenage daughter but at that point I bought all her underwear so knew they weren't hers. Smaller than me and much smaller than my mum who had done out washing a cpl of times. Literally zero other reasons to ever suspect DH so never got to the bottom of it!!
