panties down the drain

So I had my underwear in the bathtub w/ me this morning. (I sometimes rinse them out in there instead of putting them in washing machine bc the fabric is very thin and delicate and I want to extend their life.)
Well, I forgot about them and took the stopper out. And before I knew it, I saw the tail end of them being sucked down the drain. I tried to grab them but i was too late.
At first the water was stopped up but w/in a minute of two, the water continued draining out.
I stuck my finger in the drain and thought I felt the panties and tried to hold onto them while the water was draining out. After the water was all out, I got a metal hanger and tried to hook the panties and pull them back up. But alas, it was only a small wad of hair.
I can't tell if the panties are miles downstream now. Or if they are just a foot down the pipe, a major clog waiting to happen.
I don't have a home warranty policy on this house at the moment...stupid, I know. But I was planning on getting one in a couple of months.
I ran water afterward for about 20 mintes minutes and the water is going down fine. So do you think it's worth the expense of getting a plumber out to snake the drain? At what point does the pipe widen sufficiently that a skimpy g-string would be pulled completely out of the way?

Like in a way that it's been fully digested and gone forever? Or like a meal that keeps repeating itself? LOL
You don't say!
It would probably be murder on my crappy plastic pipes. But just once wouldn't be too bad, right?
(My 5 y/o kept saying, "just be grateful for what you have, mommy. You have other panties. Just be grateful for those." :rendeer:

But it's a bathtub (not a sink) and I can't get to the pipes.
I have a finished basement; there is just a small unfinished laundry area where I can see pipes but I have no idea which pipe goes to what bc I have four bathrooms in my house...and the bathroom in question is on the other side of the house from the laundry room.
How would you do that?
I will call my brother and see what he says
I lost the head of pipe cleaner in my tub once. I was worried but he was pretty much like "oh well"
Another thing I just thought of, if it starts to back up, I would use a plunger first. Again, the goal is to get it to the main line.
It sounds like you are ok
Bless you both!
And I like the idea of Red Devil as a back up!
Thanks!
eta - am I the only one who sometimes washes her drawers in the tub?:-|

LoL! Smart kid.
Try not to worry too much, they are probably long gone by now.
