    Undies sucked into the vacuum hose
    My vacuum cleaner isn't the bag type you just have to empty it out every now a then. Anyway, I was using the hose/pipe for corners in my bedroom and basically... My undies got sucked in. I'm afraid to use the 2nd floor vacuum (we have two vacuums one for the first landing and the second one for the second landing). How do I take the underwear out. I don't have the guts to tell my grandma because, there will be another reason for them to hate me and call me clumsy (lol) back to question. How do I get the underwear out of the vacuum before someone else uses the vacuum. I have told my family that the 2nd floor vacuum isn't working and they are being questionable (wouldn't blame them). This isn't only embarrassing it's also another way to call me 'dopey'.

    Where in the machine are the undies? The dust cup (part where the dirt collects) or the hose?

    If they are stuck in the hose, you remove the hose and see if they are close enough to get ahold of and pull them out. If they are not within reach, you use something like a broom handle to push them out.

    If they are in the cup, you open it up as though emptying it and pull the panties out while disposing of the dirt.

    First of all, thank you for answering! I'm not aware of where they are. How do I remove the hose pipe without damaging it? They got sucked in pretty fast and I can't see them in the container (where the dust is). It took me at least 10 seconds to get to my senses and for it to be sucked in.

    Man my life is a mess. Lol.

    Any vacuum of any brand should come apart at the hoses and straight pipe sections. Just turn and work them apart. The only damage you can do is pulling on the flexible hose part instead of right where it joins an inflexible section.
