Is it acceptable to hang knickers and bras (underwear) to dry outside?
With the weather getting warmer now I like to dry my clothes on the line outside in the garden so I dont need to use the tumble dryer. I also think clothes feel softer on my skin when they have been dried outside.
Last week i hung out a darks wash which included vests, t shirts, trousers, skirts and underwear etc. The underwear included a few plain bras and some knickers mainly briefs hipsters and boyshorts. My neighbour chatted to me over the fence and never mentioned the laundry.
Today i had a white and light wash which was predominantly underwear and vest tops. One the line there were 3 or 4 nude or white bras and quite a few pairs of knickers maybe 7 or 8. There happened to be 4 thongs which were not lace or racy thongs. They were a mix of white, nude and pale pink.
My neighbour walked outside and proceded it was inappropriate for me to be hanging my underwear on the washing line which her husband and sons would see. I asked her why its an issue we all wear knickers or pants and she commented saying its disrespetful and innapropriate especially as half the knickers are provocative little thongs. Not that i should have to but I explained to her theyre hardly sexy they are just plain seamless thongs which I have worn more recently as ive been wearing linen and white trosers with the weather being nice and didnt want VPL (visible knicker line).
I said are the bras an issue too as ive seen her hang the odd bra out before to which she said no and the other knickers are still unacceptable but she can tolerate it but thongs are a step too far.
Am I wrong for telling her its no big deal and she should mind her own business or do other people think this is inappropriate too? For the record most my knickers are more coverage i.e briefs, hipsters, boyshorts etc but this time the fact quite a few were thongs she seemed to have an issue. She said she has wanted to say something for a while as my other knickers offended her too but this was the final straw.
