Is wearing tights to bed really minging?

I'm only asking because I've just discovered how much more supported my bump and even my back feel in them. But is wearing them to bed a quick way to thrush Blush

What else can I wear if tights isn't the answer? I know you can buy bump bands, but they're not really any good for sleeping in are they??

What about leggings? If you buy them small they are supportive and nicer fabric than tights.

Not minging if they are giving you support but I'd cut the feet off them! I hate having hot feet....

And cut out the gusset if you don't want to get all nasty and sweaty in your nether regions.

Cut the feet off and the gusset outGrin

You need a breathable fanjo in bed.

I can do leggings in bed, but certainly not in public. My Cankles aren't for public viewing Blush

And cutting out the gusset is a good idea. Might not even need to pull down for a piss Grin

I agree, cut out the gusset and the feet, although then surely all you are left with is crotchless granny pants :) (I wonder if a good pair of support granny-sized pants might be a better option?)

Definitely no nylon round the fanjo. Some great ideas here!

It all sounds incredibly sexy bedroom attire, especially the cutout gusset. Wink

Have you tried one of those bump pillows? I had one and it was lovely

Tights in bed is definitely a sure fire way to get thrush - would suggest bump pillow or supportive belly band instead if you want support for your bump at nights instead of thrush (which I found I was prone to get in pregnancy anyway - really not fun when heavily pregnant!)

I think I have found a new market Grin

I've got a bump pillow, which I've been using every night. But these tights are just wonderful. Please let me keep them on, pretty please. I promise to cut out the gusset, god I hate that word Grin

Can you cut the feet off as well? Would totally not want my feet covered by tights overnight.

Gusset is an awful word, isn't it? Fanjo zone?

Would they not just slowly roll up my leg if I cut the feet off though?

I think I'd find that more annoying than a sweaty gusset Grin

You could chop off the toe and heel sections - like a home made ski-pant/crotchless legging Grin

I'm totally stealing this idea! My tights are bliss. I'm envisioning crotchless cycling shorts for myself though as I hate having my legs covered. Sexy!

Can you actually buy crotchless tights??

If you want some boring advice, I have tubi grips to wear.
And of course you can wear tights, maybe some cotton ones if you don't fancy chopping them up.
