Period/Shark Week things. (gross)
Siv
that feeling when you think your cycle's over so you settle for a pad and then feel blood soaking through your underwear and down your leg
Siv
And it's your last pair of clean lounge wear
Siv
lounge pans
Siv
*pants
Siv
I have shorts on now
Siv
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Siv
So I'm doing laundry at midnight
Siv
and cooking
Siv
If I didn't just take my antidepressants I so would have some alcohol right now
'Sail
you know about hydrogen peroxide, right?
'Sail
just checking. because if you don't know, I'm happy to explain.
Siv
I dont
'Sail
it is magic on blood stains, especially fresh ones.
Siv
same thing that makes it bubble?
'Sail
soak the spot until the foaming stops, then wring it out, and repeat.
Siv
ooh
'Sail
maybe scrub it some too, to help it loosen up
'Sail
but after you deal with the majority
'Sail
obviously, if you can get a bunch off for being more solid than purely liquid, do that, but like. "I've wiped it and it's definitely going to leave a stain" time - no, no, just take it into the little basin of the sink, and dribble that over it, watch it foam and fizz, wait for it to chill out and act like water, and repeat. <3
Siv
Well yeah, first thing I do with fresh-stained clothing is shove it in the sink with cold water and soap and knead/rub most of it out.
'Sail
right. then it's peroxide time.
Siv
ooh.
Siv
Yeah, at this time, I was stuck in the downstairs bathroom, where we don't store it because it has nowhere dark to be.
'Sail
I love too that it's so inexpensive in the first aid sections of the stores
'Sail
aah
Siv
I'll try to remember it for next time!
'Sail
I take it the pants aren't likely to stain, then?
'Sail
I hope the HO tip can help you in the future, at any rate. I've saved numerous articles of clothing with it... my friend's couch cushion, once... towels.... I mean, it isn't just good for cleaning injuries, but the messes the injuries leave, too.. I forget how I learned about it in the first place, but I'm forever glad to know, lol.
Siv
The pants are black! XD
'Sail
awesome.
'Sail
black rules. so very practical, isn't it? lol
Siv
But still, I didn't want the stain to set in anyway. I could see the contrast.
Siv
...however dimly
Siv
I try not to wear black around here often because we have 2 dogs and a kitty who are white-furred.
'Sail
yup, soak the stain in HO.
'Sail
ahh.
'Sail
yeah, that makes sense.
Siv
pet fur for days on it
Siv
but it's all in the (cold) wash right now so /shrug
'Sail
there's two kinds of dirt/dust/hairs, when it comes to clothes. the dark kind, which is attracted to light clothes, and the light kind, that's attracted to dark clothes.....
Siv
Yup.
Siv
Fortunately, the darkest fur we have around here are Letty and Jupiter, and they have gray fur. And bits of white. And then we have an orange lad who might as well also cling to black clothing
'Sail
hehe....
Siv
pet fur everywhere
Leanne No
.... I did not know that magic. I have got to remember that
'Sail
Leanne No
: I'm happy I could share it with you as well, then! I hope it serves you well in the future.
