Knickers under pyjamas yay or nay

BexThree · 24/03/2026 11:39

I wear nighties more than PJs and only wear knickers when I'm on my period.
As for bras, the only time I've worn one in bed was when I was breastfeeding.

I'm actually shocked at the number of women that wear knickers under their pj's in bed!
And as for those mad women wearing bras in bed - I can hardly stand to wear one during the day, let alone sleep in one.

Even wearing PJs in bed sounds too much for me - I do t-shirt and nothing below. I remember my mum saying I had to wear a bra in bed, I never have and at 48 they seem to be better than when I had babies. Once I discovered sexy crop tops I never went back to wired/clasped bras

Naked in bed always.

Knickers as I'm at the age where I need to wear a Tena liner at night.

However, just before I go to bed, I open the window and sit legs akimbo on the windowsill to give it a good airing out.

This made me laugh a LOT!

Discussion with friends. Very heated disagreement. Unreasonable wearing knickers . Reasonable not wearing knickers

No pjs! Clean knickers and t shirt even in winter. Don’t like feeling swaddled.

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 01/12/2025 07:16

Yes at the moment because I’m wearing thermals underneath my PJs as my room is very cold (loft conversions).

Usually no.

The school nurse came and told us not to when I was at school!

My dd insists on wearing them though - I only know because we’ve discussed it, she’s much older than for me to be aware of what she’s putting on under her PJs. So maybe the nurse’s advice is out dated.

I never find knickers uncomfortable, unless they were too small or cheese wire thongs. Cotton pants that fit shouldn't be uncomfortable or give you thrush!

BeFairOliveBear · 01/12/2025 06:53

I was shocked when I discovered some people don't wear knickers to bed. It seems so weird to me. Often it's all I wear though as I hate the feeling of pyjamas/night dress in bed. Each to their own I guess.

Ohpleeeease · 30/11/2025 22:43

I wear a nightie/ nightshirt precisely because I don’t want to wear knickers in bed. Also I move around a lot and hate getting my legs all tangled up in material. But if I did wear pjs I would have to wear knickers.

Because it's fine to just wear a pair of knickers. Just comfy pair of soft cotton knickers!! It's fine, really.

It's an extra layer against sweaty bumcrack.
If I sneeze, I can often get away with just changing my knickers. Not my whole pyjamas.
I have flaps that I like contained.

Tbf now I'm middle-aged I can definitely see the practicality of that... 😄

But it's only you that's going to know, or be able to smell anything if there's anything to smell. And tbh if your personal hygiene is good there's really not going to be much of anything to get on to PJs. I genuinely don't get why it's a problem.

Oh FFS. You've clearly never come across anything genuinely gross, have you led a sheltered life or something? There are some truly disgusting things in the world, a bit of natural secretion isn't one of them.

I hate knickers. Definitely no knickers at night, ideally no knickers at any time.

Oooooooh matron….. 🤣

im not frightened of my own bodily fluids, but pyjamas in direct contact with my fanny and bum are going to smell of fanny and bum, so i will wash them.
I dont think im a particularly smelly person, and I shower daily and keep my bits clean, but knickerless pyjama bottoms do not usually pass the sniff test the next night, and I dont believe anyones do. I think they probably just dont check or dont care.

A bra? Why?

Show quote history

I wear a crop top bra along with my knicks, under the pjs obvs.
The bra is coz I've lost a ton of weight and my boobs are like a couple of basset ears. Also one night the dog stood on my nipple and holy crap did it hurt!
Best to contain all vulnerable bits I find.😄

Why wouldn't you put pants on under your pj's. Do people go naked in their pj's. Yuk. Do they not wear pants in their day clothes too .. strange. Made up mn thing surely. Everyone wears pants

Do you normally go around assuming everyone does life the same way as you?

Can hear my mum's voice saying "Let the air at it", lol.
