Grey undies....

Hi.
Had the same problem with white undies. When they've lost their brilliant white, I put them into a solution of Yorkshire tea for most of the day. Without the T bag. They come out beige.

No, hold on, beige is good. Why? Wearing a white bra under a white top is noticeable, but not if you wearing a beige one.

I've a thin, summery top which has a swirly black and white pattern. black and white bras are definitely noticeable, but my beige ones aren't.

Yes that story is good. Had another chuckle reading it.

Ana, apologies, I'm fairly new to this GN thing, so haven't got the hang of people's sense of humour yet. Must try harder

Sorry, just my rather feeble little joke!

Me too, Maggiemaybe!

Um, sorry, didn't make myself clear ??. She was wearing a very pretty, crocheted cardi, that was sooooo white, and she was in her own little shop that sells lovely, covetable ? things, that I absolutely don't need, but hanker after sometimes.

Was the lady doing her shopping in her underwear, Auntiflo?

Has anyone tried a spoonful of Napisan in with their white wash? Some time ago, quite a long time actually, I asked a lady in one of our local shops, how she kept her whites so beautifully , well white! She said that she used the Napisan treatment, so I tried it and it does seem to work. I had to search for it though, as it was in the aisle of baby needs.

pompa - great story

Do you know, I think this is too funny to report!

Nice thought.!! This amazing. Grey undies are sweet. This is my favorites color. You love bra, I think. If you love to get it every week then, why you not try grey bras from Spicy Lingerie. It will give you a sexy and hot look. Even I do the same like you.This is my favorite place, I also purchase two lingerie at every week ends. I like you mom's words. Grey undies. haha!!!

I have very white undies only because all the whites are wash in the machine on their own.

Pompa - I can't stop chuckling!

The bra fabric itself can still be recycled I think. I also use those little nylon bags so the bras don't get too damaged.

Not me. They do nothing for my pale blue skintone.

I love white undies, white and lacy.

I always do things on a white wash, white things that is! they stay fine that way, but you can buy a powder to make whites even whiter.Ariel Actilift is what I use as my washing power for white stuff.

There are lots of places you can donate your old bras to, no matter what condition they are in. I think some are recycled and a donation given to breast cancer research and some and taken to countries where some women can't afford to buy them. My sister works for the NHS and every now and again they have a 'donate your old bra' day.

Can you not dye them?

Pompa.....hahahahha!! Read this sitting in dentist's waiting room...has quite lifted my day!

pompa Thanks for that coffee spluttered all my t-shirt must change now before I go out shopping.

My wife #2 was a dancer, and while working at one of London's West End night-clubs - a proper one, not a mere discotheque - the girls used to make their own G-strings, worn under their costumes - not that they wore very much in the way of a costume.

For some reason, the Memsahib was deputed to handle the final stage of the manufacture, and so our bathroom was festooned with this 'intimate apparel' as it all dried after having been dyed with tea or coffee to a perfect flesh tint!

Just a memory...

When I was working I was a first aider, A fellow first aider came to me, looking VERY flustered. A rather good looking (bloody gorgeous really) had fallen off her motor bike in the car park and cut the top of her leg. She asked him to clean and dress it, guess what, off came the jeans and NO knickers, lucky bugger, why didn't I get that one.

Great story pompa

I had it as an e-mail some time ago. Doesn't make it any less funny though
