Another mystery underwear thread???

I can't believe I'm starting yet another "where has this underwear come from?" thread. I keep reading them and not understanding how it's even possible... yet here I am about to do one of my own!

Spotted a few weeks ago while I was folding laundry. Wasn't paying much attention, but remember thinking "oh what are these?" but was in a hurry so shoved into my drawer and forgot all about them.

Until today, pulled them out while I was hunting for underwear this morning and got a good look at them. Black like the rest of my undies, but not the usual style I go for (full briefs, not the skimpy nothings that usually appear on these threads!) nearly my size, but from somewhere I've never bought undies from (Matalan).

As I said, they blipped on my radar some weeks ago so do I confront DP or what do I do? How do I even bring it up?

No guests have visited recently and have a dog but even he's not clever enough to put them in the washing machine or basket.

I feel mortified even writing this! What a cliche.

Another mystery underwear thread???

@cakebythepound1234 Dear god!! That's me checking the cinema seat with my phone torch before sitting down next time!

OP are they your size? Just wondering if your DP bought them intended as a gift for you then had second thoughts on finding out Matalan might be considered a bit naff and underwear also a dodgy gift, so just chucked them in the wash?

Must say though I'm starting to think there's an underwear troll around.

I rented a flat once that was furnished, it wasn’t until I picked up (opposed to just pushing aside while hovering etc) the bedside draw that I found a whole bunch of ladies underwear underneath it. Really tacky stuff 🤮. I’m guessing it all fell down the back of one of the draws and collect in the space between the bottom draw and the floor. Then I looked under the other beside draw and found a load of men’s underwear (briefs) and vests (the Mr has never worn vests or briefs) collected in the same space. We had lived there for a whole year before I found them! So yes, strange underwear can turn up in peoples houses without knowing who’s it is.

There will be a very logical reason for it - cat brought them home, DP is fucking the cleaner or something else pretty rational. There is no way it is aliens despite what you all want to think.

With the frequency of these threads, I'm starting to wonder if there is an equivalent male forum to here which is suggesting planting random women's knickers during December in the home!
I was thinking similar must be the season for it
