How do you handle underwear when it shows a skid mark?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) December 18th, 2009

Do you wash by hand, hide in the hamper, or sell it on Craigslist.com?

uhm it has never happened to me but i do believe that if my underwear had any sort of stain i would throw them out.

I buy new underwear, and cut back on mexican food.

azlotto's avatar

its called wash

ETpro's avatar

@trailsillustrated Immediately? Or do you risk them being found among the dirty clothes?

Sonnerr's avatar

Does that mean Mine? or Her’s? ‘cause if they are her’s, I usually rub it in her face! if they were mine, probably throw them out.

Snarp's avatar

I just throw them in the washer, like anything else.

@Dr_Dredd Let me know when you have your next auction! ;->

Put them on my dog’s head and take pictures.

There would not happen to be an image of the Virgin Mother?

@Sonnerr Really interested in how each person handles their own. Ah, the humanity of it. :-)

ETpro's avatar

@ChazMaz I’m still working on anything coming close to that. :-)

Snarp's avatar

@mclaugh You’ve never had a stain of any sort in your underwear? Seriously? And you would throw away underwear because of a stain? Seems a trifle wasteful, doesn’t it? Maybe don’t wear them on hot dates, but throw them out?

trailsillustrated's avatar

@ETpro in my long experience of living with men, it is a common occurrence. One fills the washtub with HOT water, then, without examining, dump all (his) underthings in with that detergent hawked by that loud guy that died, spin, dry, and jam into his bedside chest and repeat next washday.

I don’t really examine my husband’s underwear in the wash. It just gets tossed into the washer with the rest of the stuff… if it needs more attention than that… he can handle it!!!

evandad's avatar

I use them as a starter canvas

Snarp's avatar

For the record, the purpose of underwear is to get skid marks so your clothes don’t. It’s not exactly a big deal.

anyone else remember when the fat substitute potato chips came out? Featuring “Olestra”
there was a disclaimer on the back of the bag that read:“may cause inopportune anal seepage”!! As oppose to OPPORTUNE anal seepage?

trailsillustrated's avatar

hahahahaa when I first heard that on the phone I laughed so hard. I made my friend over here in the us save the bag that says that so I could see it when I got here oh hahahaha

I always take a shower after poopy time; I don’t feel clean otherwise. After I learned this trick many years ago I’ve remained skid mark free, praise Jesus.

stratman37's avatar

poopy time – l love it

stratman37's avatar

the SAYING, not so much the TIME

hungryhungryhortence's avatar

Babywipes after “poopy time” will cut down on that a lot. Like @trailsillustrated, I’ve got years of living with men and most of them had skidmarks due to overgrown hair back there and not being able to wipe well enough when not at home where the babywipes are. I also just sort up the laundry, don’t examine too closely and just get it done. If the stains don’t come out after a few attempts then I toss them. Changing to dark colored undies helps to deal with the visual terror. Wahl trimmers are great fun too :)

Oxy- Clean, Billy Mays to the rescue, here’s how to order…..

aprilsimnel's avatar

I had to look up what that meant. I’d bin it, of course, wrapped in several layers of newspaper, take it down the hall and throw it down the chute. Ew.

ratboy's avatar

Ask my SO why she’s been wearing my underwear.

trailsillustrated's avatar

@hungryhungryhortence hahahaha visual terror hehe youre funny

ETpro's avatar

@FutureMemory The shower strategy is always best if time and location of ‘poopy time’ permit. Thanks. :-)

ETpro's avatar

@hungryhungryhortence Let’s hear it for brown undies. :-)

Shemarq's avatar

I’m used to seeing it (not me). Between a husband and two boys . . . . . need I say more? LMAO!!!

DominicX's avatar

This thread is hilariously disgusting…

Why does it only happen to guys?

Shemarq's avatar

@DominicX I wish I knew . . . . its one of the secrets of the universe.

ETpro's avatar

@DominicX Like most “Gals are better” poopaganda, it doesn’t just happen to guys. I’m here to testify that’s as big a bunch of ß$ as the stuff that makes the skid marks to start with. :-)

Dr_Dredd's avatar

I wonder if it has anything to do with hemorrhoids…

ETpro's avatar

@Dr_Dredd The Doctor is in. :-)

Shemarq's avatar

@Dr_Dredd . Well, my boys can be a pain in the ass sometimes. LOL!!

raylrodr's avatar

You mean like daily marks or raging shitstorm marks?

ETpro's avatar

@raylrodr Lordy, I reckon either one would certainly qualify! Ech!

Dr_Dredd's avatar

Indeed…
