OK. ..I want to thank everyone for their replies. I'm sorry my shame kept me from doing it sooner. And by the way I'm not justifying my shame just apologizing for it. As it turned out, my only problem was the cheap laundry detergent I had been using. I got better detergent and the marks are coming out.
I guess I should feel lucky the problem isn't worse like incontinence or something. I know there is scar tissue from the flashlight though and I theorize that the scar tissue acts as a canal through an otherwise impassable seal. OK I'm sick now. Anyway, problem solved. Thanx guys. I'm going to take another OCD shower and forget this post ever happened now.

I have no experience on this subject.

I would like to add, that I feel blessed that my girlfriend cleans houses for a living.

I'm just curious, if anyone has tried washing soda?

I dunno, perhaps to caustic.

Blue,

I'm interested in what detergent you found effective.

I have had to really put into practice the advice of this thread the past few weeks (posted more about that in the Health and Wellbeing Forum)

all I can say from my recent experience is to pre-treat the stains with a good quality pre-treater and use good quality detergent and 2 full scoops of OxiClean

and... also want to mention... I was wrong in recomending poplin fabric boxers - it is true that stains seem to come out of that type of fabric easier - but... if you have more leakage/blood than just spotting, it will show through your pants which can be quite embarrassing...
