Free Bleeding - another fad?

Nobody can say " gusset " like Miranda did in her show.

And now we have another thread with "sweaty crotch" mentioned.

Who'd have thought we could go from Elton John to gussets in just a few days??

I think this thread must hold some kind of record for the amount of times the word gusset is used.

Thats okay. ? a comfy gusset is reward enough.

No notanan2. No prize.

(Or is that reserved for free incontinence?)

Well, I think it will have to be agreed that notanan2 is the best free bleeder on Gransnet.

Do I get the Golden Gusset prize?

possibly not only the best but, the only.... OP said she has dabbled too, just didn't give it a name. Like a lot of people do.

I would find that really embarrassing

I think if you pop round anywhere unannounced you are likely to see bits and bobs (like freshly laundered pants etc on the line) that you might not see if you went on an arranged visit.

I've seen worse on unplanned visits. (Full cat litter trays: bawk)

possibly not only the best but, the only....

Well, I think it will have to be agreed that notanan2 is the best free bleeder on Gransnet. can we talk about something else now

I would find that really embarrassing.
Strange, because I can't quite work out why.

Its actually a non issue to me until people start telling me what I should and shouldnt do with my own pants, and again: that doesnt tend to happen in real life.

also if people pop round unannounced and my washable san pro (and Gussets ) are on the washing line I don't scuttle round trying to hide them. I do put them away if I am EXPECTING more formal guests. I don't hide it. Or bring it up.

Well, I was going to say its the kind of conversation I might have with my friends.
Then I realised... I don't have any friends!
Maybe why..

I’m wondering whether you have the same conversations face to face with other people. I somehow doubt it.

Yes if someone asks or brings it up. People usually don't ask or bring it up. Very occasionally people do, and I don't lie if asked my opinion. If you are questioning whether or not it is a polite conversation to start you would be better off directing that question at the OP not at me

You revel in these conversations don’t you notanan?

I have mainly responded to questions and comments specifically directed at me, like yours.

But also Gusset is a good robust word.

?

Go with the flow?

I am quite surprised how abhorrent people find the idea of a smear of blood on clothing.
Not a smear MissA - just the thought of blood and uterine lining dripping on floors, seats, etc etc.

I'm quite easy-going, normally, just go with the flow …..

I must say, I'm rather enjoying them.
It that wrong?
I am quite surprised how abhorrent people find the idea of a smear of blood on clothing. (Knickers mostly, but I didn't want to say gusset again!)

You revel in these conversations don’t you notanan? Agreed, I don’t have to read them. I’m wondering whether you have the same conversations face to face with other people. I somehow doubt it.

P.s. unlike faeces in nappies, period blood doesn't come out full of bacteria, so there is really nothing for bleach to act on (unless you leave it to rot for weeks. Which I dont, its washed when still fresh)

notanan2 You say that you just bung your blood-stained knickers in with the normal wash, but at what temperature do you wash all these clothes? If I were washing heavily blood-stained items, I would need to do them on a much hotter wash than my usual clothing in order to get them clean.

As Jamilall said, if you are boil washing protein stains you are "cooking them in" so no wonder you find blood stains troublesome.

No boil washing here & no stain issues, however as stated before I wash blood stains promptly so they haven't dried in anyway. Doesn't need to soak out if never left to properly dry in. In a busy family home with usually daily loads in the machine its no extra washing/hassle to wash promptly.

HTH

lemongrove it had been at the back of my mind but me being sort of new here I thought I'd better keep my one-liners until I've got my feet under the table. However you saved me the job of saying it hahahaha. Say it like it is !
