    It happened to one of the girls at work. As a bloke you tend to look at girl's bums as they walk by.... it's a man thing.
    I discretely mentioned it it to one of the other girls, who then had a discrete word with her - not mentioning me, btw. Sorted. No fuss. Not for me anyway.

    But does it matter? It's not something you can help, it's a right pain for you, accidents do happen. All the women will sympathise, and be happy it wasn't them. Blokes wouldn't really give a toss!

    Just forget it and move on. In the big scheme of things - it doesn't really matter does it?

    I agree,it has happened to most of us at sometime,happened to afriend of mine in a really posh restaurant in New york,andshe was wearing cream! another friend lent her a pashmina to tie around her waist to get her through the restaurant. She was mortified. Don't think any more about it,no one else will give it a second thought.

    Don't feel bad, why would you?
    It was something that just happened, an unfortunate accident.
    I'm sure no one even noticed and even if they did, so what! Just think how you would feel about anyone who you had seen in the same situation? I'm sure you wouldn't think bad of them or even give it a second thought to be honest. I know I wouldn't. Go tomorrow with your head held high, it'd not the end of the world. ;)

    This happened to an older, much-respected colleague of mine not long after I'd started working with her. She was wearing a light-coloured skirt and it was me that noticed and mentioned it - totally innocent as I genuinely thought she'd sat on a red pen :o. It wasn't until she flushed bright red and scurried home to change that I realised what it really was! Made it much easier for me to mention though as I genuinely didn't realise, and hopefully she was grateful that it was a female colleague that noticed it and told her early on. We never ever ever referred to it ever again :rolleyes:

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Actually, I just had an incident myself.
    Had just undressed and got in the shower and my youngest gets in the bathroom to brush his teeth. He spots my knickers on the floor and goes "erm, Mum... you are always telling me off for my pants but yours aren't great either..."
    :rotfl:
    He is 6 and we had a little talk about baby pouches inside mummy's tummy!:wink:

  • that's a shame I really feel for you.

    Same thing happened to me after my second child, was bleeding really heavily and had light blue trousers on - didn't notice,like you I was picking up my other boy from school and then went to the supermarket.

    I don't know if anybody noticed but nobody ever said and i agree with the others everybody would have been too busy picking up their kids to notice.

    Don't worry about it.

    Isn't it strange how they can send man to the moon, but we still have to put up with rubbish sanitary wear! Man this needs sorting out.

    oh dear me and mother are the same, we both stand and cross our legs if we know we are going to sneeze and that does help.


    And why on earth are sanitary products still classed as luxury items that we have to pay extra tax on?!?!?

    You can pick sanitary pads up for pennies.

    Why do you think we should spend millions of pounds of taxed money on something that can be bought for pence. It will cost millions to supply and administer such a scheme. Surely we waste enough as it is?
