  • Now, the disappearing sock thing has always been around, so you can only ever find one of a pair, but since my 4 yr old started school in September its increased exponentially.

    Bought a pack of 7 black socks, within 2 weeks, we were down to 3 pairs. Bought another 7 pack and now we a left now with 4 pairs out of 14. They definitely come home each day, but somehow get lost in laundry.

  • Bought a pack of 7 black socks…

    I think I’ve spotted your problem.

  • Static electricity, they're probably all clinging inside other bits of clothing.

  • Socks are nocturnal.
    They spend the majority of their lives avoiding daylight in drawers, washing machines and shoes.
    You need to hunt them down at night.

  • Do you have a dog?

  • We've implemented a militant, check your socks at the door policy. Helped by underfloor heating / slippers but Ayla takes her socks off at the door, at the same time as shoes, as soon as she gets home from nursery.

    They're put in a separate washing bag thing that gets zipped up and put in the machine.

    We haven't lost any socks in 6 months now.
