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

Eugh no, I wear knickers underneath as it feels grim if I don't! As for this "airing" malarky your foof is under pajamas AND a duvet so would hardly get fresh air anyway...

Cantdothingsanymore · 22/11/2025 22:36

Knickers on. I hate the feeling of material flapping around my bits. I like security.

OrangeeS · 22/11/2025 22:34

I think you’ve taken a wrong turn lass and ended up on the “Knickers or No Knickers” discussion by accident!

notnorman · 22/11/2025 22:33

Deffo knickers. Otherwise you have to change your jamás every day

OrangeeS · 22/11/2025 22:31

If you wear your pjs without knickers then surely you’d have to change them every day? It’s the same as wearing the same knickers every day otherwise, in fact it worse as knickers are flatter and pjs have stitching.

Knickers or change PJ’s daily.
Anything else is unhygienic

Definitely knickers, otherwise your backside would be freezing or at least mine would.

DrFoxtrot · 22/11/2025 22:27

Definitely wear knickers as the PJ bottom seam would go up into uncomfortable places as I move around in bed 😬

My mum always taught me to “give it some air” so no knickers for me!

This!!!

And it's not as if your average pair of M&S 4 for £10 cotton knickers is going to form a hermetic seal around your arse!

Show quote history

Indeed!

None of the no knickers lot have explained the air flow question. Under bedclothes and with jamas on what air flow are you on about?

I love my PJ's, have about 25 pairs as I wear a fresh one every day and do not wear knickers too, feels wrong and too hot! I have PJ shorts if I want to wear a nightie in summer too. Hate being in bed naked, what if I need to leave in a hurry?!

People have some very strange discussions with their friends

I wish there was some way we could immediately react with a laugh!

Happyjoe · 22/11/2025 22:18

Prelim · 22/11/2025 20:43

Why did it get so heated?!

Prob causing both knickers and PJ's, that's one hot bum in bed!

RisingSunn · 22/11/2025 22:17

No knickers!

Muffinmam · 22/11/2025 22:12

I don’t wear them to bed - which is why I wash after every single use. Even if I have a nap I will put on fresh pj’s.

It’s necessary to air it out. It’s also necessary to wash it.

I was told never to wash my vagene because it’s self cleaning. The outside is not self cleaning - you’re meant to clean it!!

catin8oot5 · 22/11/2025 22:12

Knickers with pyjamas but not with a nighty!

JemimaTiggywinkles · 22/11/2025 22:06

Either pjs with no knickers if it’s cold, naked if not. My pjs are all very loose so seams aren’t an issue. Change them once a week probably. But I’m definitely gross by MN standards - I don’t change my bedsheets every time I have sex either!

This. Same!

FastTurtle · 22/11/2025 22:09

Nah to knickers and pyjamas.

Branleuse · 22/11/2025 22:09

I always wear knickers because I like to wear my pyjamas for a few nights. Saves on washing

Whennovemberends · 22/11/2025 22:09

Yes definitely air it out! I've been wearing knickers all day , why would I want to wear them all night as well.

ElaineBurdock · 22/11/2025 22:08

You never wear your underwear to bed. I thought everyone knew this.

Deffo no knickers

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 22/11/2025 22:03
