Do you mean COTTON or SODDEN sheets? 555

 

Sotten.

I had been thinking of sodden, of course.

But, I did not want to be too obvious.

No.

Of course not.

But, leave it to you, I guess, to think of this first.

Dear Folks,

 

As some of you might know by now, bedsheets are overpriced in Thailand.

 

Therefore, some of us often use them until ..... so unfortunately.... they tear....either due to an uncut toenail....or, even more unfortunately, due to untoward antics in bed.

 

 

 

I have about 5 bedsheets with tears, all saved up.

 

What is the best way to salvage these sheets, or, at least, put them to a better use.

I hate to discard good cotton.

 

Also, I do not want to try to use them as "rags" for mopping up spills.

Because, this kind of cloth is just not designed for that.

 

Additionally, I do not want to save them for Halloween, since we are already too old for that....

 

Once again I will say that I refuse to discard perfectly good bedsheets....just due to a few tears, here and there.

 

Any advice will be much appreciated.

 

Thank you.

 

Regards,

Gamma

 

Note:  As for new sheets for sleeping....  I will buy in China, where the quality is good and the price is right.

 

I buy ONLY 100-percent cotton sheets. (Very high thread-count, too, and I like heavy sheets...not that crappola garbage...)

 

And, last time I tried to buy a mattress protector in Thailand.....it was an absolute disaster.  Never again will I buy curtains, bedsheets, or anything 100-percent cotton in Thailand.... 

 

The price here is OUT OF SIGHT.......

 

 

 

Also, I have tried to just ignore the tears, and be blind to them...

But, no matter how much I try....to close my eyes....the tears just...keep on....

Getting bigger.

 

If only this were not so.

 

 

Wearing adult diapers should keep you from soiling your sheets.

I suggest you patch them up and then use them as an extra mattress pad which will help prevent sweat/body oils reaching the mattress.
