Found condom wrapper in laundry basket

Just this. I have the contraceptive injection so haven't seen a condom in 17 years.

Have 12 yr old DD & 15yr old DS. Definitely not DS, pretty convinced not DD. We send laundry to a cleaning service. I'm thinking it's from that. DH doesn't really go out, hard to believe it's anything to do with him. Next steps if any?

@succession it hardly screams clean laundry if there’s a condom wrapper in there Hmm

Thatsplentyjack · 21/12/2021 12:45

Yeah this happened 🤣 no way it could be the adult male or the nearly adult son, possibly might be the preteen daughter though 🤔.

Next steps if any?

Eh....ask them maybe? Confused

[quote girlmom21]@JinglingHellsBells but then why would she mention the laundry service? [/quote]
I've known a couple of people who used a laundry service.

You used to have to put all clothes of the same type together in the bundle for the laundry.

So, all socks together, all pants together, all shirts together.

So I am assuming the OP was sorting the items that had been chucked in the bag by all family members, before they were sent to the laundry.

Might be wrong but that's my take on it.

None of the ones I’ve used were like this. You chuck it all into a big bag and it’s their job to sort it all and wash accordingly- not mixing whites with darks, doing delicates as hand wash equivalent cycles etc. The more seperate washes/handling they have to do with different types, the more they charge. I certainly didn’t care as I expensed it back to work whenever I used one.

We need OP back to clarify things as too hard to guess unless we know whether it was in the dirties or the cleans.

Why definitely not DS?

BakingWithGlitter · 21/12/2021 13:40

So if you don't think it's your DC and don't believe it would be your DH, you think it's due to the laundry service... why the post? Have you not answered your own question?

lovemelongtime · 21/12/2021 13:49

Just tell your husband - its bound to be your lads

I imagine either OP is in denial about her 15 year old son or she thinks it’s her DH but she’s hoping posters would have said that they’ve had things turn up in their washing due to the laundry service - unfortunately for her no one has yet said they’ve ever found rubbish amongst their clothes which is probably why they’ve not updated the thread.

logsonlogsoff · 21/12/2021 13:59

It’s one of your kids experimenting with them, messing around with mates with them or perhaps DS is using one for whatever reason.

ElvisPresleyHadABaby · 21/12/2021 14:01

What brand is it? Easy to tell if it's one they were given at school.

happychristmasbum · 21/12/2021 14:05

Most likely DS surely?

Hemingwayscatz · 21/12/2021 14:08

Posh wanks are not a myth, many guys use them to avoid a messy clean up. I would put money on it being your 15 year old if you have no other reason to suspect DH.

YRGAM · 21/12/2021 14:12

It's the son. Posh wank

SunshineCake1 · 21/12/2021 14:17

Whether a posh wank is a myth or not why the fuck is it called posh?! Posh isn't the word that springs to mind with me.

borntobequiet · 21/12/2021 14:19

Makes me glad I don’t use a laundry service.

PegasusReturns · 21/12/2021 14:20

Sensing a huge drip feed as to why it cannot possibly be the son but that is the most likely option.

Chikapu · 21/12/2021 14:45

What's 'posh' about wanking with a condom on?

Hemingwayscatz · 21/12/2021 14:46

@Chikapu

What's 'posh' about wanking with a condom on?
Nothing, it’s just a widely used term to describe a less messy wank.

@PoshPyjamas

Posh wank is a myth.
No it isn't. My DH has them from time to time!
Helpstopthepain · 21/12/2021 14:51

I would assume a curious child so don’t rule out dd.

Less mess than doing it in a sock! Teen boys are gross.
Stellaris22 · 21/12/2021 14:52

Intrigued by this but also seen OP hasn't replied since they posted this.

Crapslattern · 21/12/2021 15:31

Definitely not your 15 year old ds and 'pretty convinced' it's not your 12 year old dd!!?! Seriously? She's 12!

I'm intrigued as to why you are so convinced it couldn't possibly be your teenage son.

iklboodolphrednosedpaindear · 21/12/2021 17:35

Ah. A single post from OP with potentially divisive subject matter.

batmanladybird · 21/12/2021 18:25

I am intrigued at you sending your laundry to a service
Are you in the U.K.?
