Reading the recent thread on washing the stash put me in mind of another situation. My wife knows all about Ruth but I don't think the neighbors do. Once a week I do my femme things wash and, weather permitting, hang it all on the clothes line. Now my lingerie is a little more vivid than my wife's (I put it down to years of repression)... think black lace. Lots of it. Anyway, the neighbors are much too discreet to ask. But I wonder if they are speculating about the recent increase in distinctly non-functional undies.
