'I can never look her in the eye again!'

Mumsnet user describes horror at finding pictures of her mother-in-law’s VAGINA on her iPhone while making a back-up

Fellow mums offered their condolences as she described seeing snaps featuring 'boobs, vag, the lot'

When you discover photos on an iPhone you were NEVER meant to see...

A MUMSNET user has described her ultimate horror after helping her mother-in-law backup her iPhone and discovering pictures of her hubby's mum's VAGINA in the photo album.

Writing on one of the site's forums, she told how there were "loads" of intimate snaps, featuring "boobs, vag, the lot".

She explained: "Oh. My. F*****g. God.

"MIL (mother in law) asked me if I wouldn't mind transferring all her pictures from her old phone, her camera and other memory cards on to discs for her and to make some back ups.

"No problem, says I. Happy to help.

"Oh, and can you make sure there are no duplicates either and don't bother transferring blurry pics etc. I agree to that, what a helpful DIL (daughter in law) I am."

But as she dutifully trawled through the hundreds of images, removing dud ones and transferring the rest, she made a disturbing discovery.

The mum wrote: "Then I come to the phone. Lovely pics of grand kids, oh, look, there's FIL's (father in law's) surprise party, aww cute kitty, then out of the f*****g blue is my MIL's VULVA!"

The traumatised woman asked fellow Mumsnet users what they thought she should do, pointing out: "I can't tell her I've seen them."

She continued: "But do I transfer them over? Delete them?

"This what not the way I envisaged my Wednesday morning panning out. THIS is what you get for trying to be helpful!"

Bemused users made several suggestions - some more helpful than others.

One suggested: "Transfer over," adding: "Just see it as you've seen your partner's first home."

Another wrote: "Transfer them! Then bleach your eyes."

One asked: "You poor thing op, have you had hot, sweet tea for the shock?"

Another user shared a similar tale, writing: "Ugh. Wonderful. I think she wanted you to see them. This kind of s**t turns her on.

"Ugh. Before I met my FIL, my partner shared his Netflix account with me. Also shared with his dad.

"I now know just how much arty European porn he watches."

One suggested: "Oh god! She can't have realised they were there otherwise she wouldn't have asked you to look through them. I would delete then have some kind of hypnotherapy to get rid of the memory!" while another joked: "Photoshop yourself leaving the vulva and put it on your Xmas cards."
