don't ever accidentally ........................

wash all of your favorite black clothes with a new OB tampon. white fluff all over. and i don't dry my black clothes! i am afraid of fading and shrinking. and white tampon fluff all over doesn't come off very easily. i am sad!

and in case you are wondering how a tampon got into my laundry? I'll tell you my kids found them and think, hey! lets play with these white plastic bullet things, and hey! lets carry them around, open them and expand bunches of them in the sink . and leave them all over. yeah. my kids make their own fun! and this was a stray one that happened to be on the floor. and when i picked up my load of blacks it stowed away in the mountain of clothes. seriously i washed it 4 times after i found the white fluff all over. and then lance tried 3 times too. and then he tried air fluffing the fuzz off in the dryer, with no heat for 4 cycles . still fluffy white residue. what to do? what to do! i love my black clothes and i want them to fit . so i refuse to dry them for real. ahhhhhhhhh. and even Lindsey came over once( over a month ago) and saw a partially open tampon in plain sight on the kitchen floor ! embarrassing and looser-ish! what can i say, i have lost control of my life. tampons ! in the wash! thank goodness it was a new , unused one! gotta look for that bright side. that is my silver lining.

*******Edit***********
ok well i checked on my beloved black load and they were dry, and relatively fuzz free. so the tumbling helped tons and the lint filter was chock full! I am so glad my clothes were saved. i am a tad sad that with all of the washing my brand new black shirt, doesn't look brand new anymore. but at least it isn't covered in fuzz. yay!

Oh man! Hope you can get it out! Did you try a lint roller? I'm laughing at the image of tampoons shooting through the air at your house!

the fun never ends at your house. and i totally forgot about seeing that tampon on the floor, but i remember thinking it was really funny. good luck with all the white goodness on your black clothes

Bummer about the white fluffies on your favorite clothes!! I actually remember my little bros & sister playing with tampons when they were younger too- they just make for some fun toys!! LOL

SHERI said...

That is a great story! I would try using a lint brush. If you don't have one try using some tape. Good luck with that

Ah suck! I'm not sure what else to try after all you and Lance have already tried! Big bummer. I hate when I wash a kleenex or something in the wash. Ugh, that is the worst...white fluffies!

(Jaden always thinks my tampons (unused) are candy! lol)

LOL! Sorry about the black clothes, but that is a funny story. Who needs toys when you can just give them a box of tampons? Gavin did that with a whole box when he was about 15 months old, all I heard was a ton of squealing with delight and him saying BIG BIG!

You are too funny..my kids think tampons are used for bloody noses..they came up with that on their own..and since I did'nt want to explain what they were rEaLlY for..it kinda stuck! So anyhow...so glad you got the happy ending to your story. I too am a hUgE fan of black..when having a bad clothing day..black will always save the day.. :)
