How do you get men's white y-fronts clean without using bio detergent (which they are so often allergic to) and a boil wash, which ruins the elastic ... c

Have none of you ever used "BIOTEX" can be bought in Wilkinson's, Boots and all supermarkets. Soak overnight in a hand hot solution then just wring out, no need to rinse and put in washing machine with whites only. ?

I used to use Biotex, I didn't know you could still get it!

I use Vanish in a spray for 'awkward marks'

Somebody mentioned Spotted Dicks earlier.

Brings to mind the time my ex husband was playing around with yet another floozey.

I dutifully washed his clothes as usual them gave the crotch of his pants a nice dip in OMO suds then dried them nicely for him.

It kept me amused for hours, watching him surreptiously scratching his nether regions and even more amused when his new little friend went the way of all the others.

Good for you, Phizz - I think in your place I might have used caustic soda!

To floweroftheWest: Do you really want chemical filled Tena pads in perpetual contact with your important little place though?

Alternative pleaseJaxie

Flowerofthewest: I suppose there ain't an alternative. I can't be the only one to have had a wee accident and put tissues in my knickers only to retrieve a shredded mass of paper later.

Buy some new ones and bin the others.

[grin) - just read this thread, don't know how I missed it!
It reminded me of the time when my F in L was on his own. He was a widower, then remarried and it didn't work out. He used to bring me his washing and he wore cream woolen underpants, baggy style, usually in an unsavoury condition. I wasn't surprised that she had left him, I refused to wash them.

TriciaF, don't blame you one bit. Why would anyone want to look at them in that state, unless the person has mental health issues. There are certain things in life that you shouldn't have to do, that is one of them. Hope you had?? to recover.

Have you tried giving them a long soak using your normal powder? Thinking back to washing nappies days I often soaked them in hot water with Persil overnight before washing and could be proud of them on the line!

This is a man's view -- BIN THEM.

If he has a problem. get him a pack of Tena for Men, Tesco stock them. Because I have kidney problems I have problems from time to time and use TFM pads, they are discrete and work.

Some one mentioned putting chemicals near your sensitive bits, we put babies in them, so I sure there is nothing to worry about.
