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

Why do you need to air your fanny at night?

I get thrush if I don’t 🤷🏻‍♀️

I don’t wear pjs, just a top half!

Same as me, unless it’s cold like it has been this week then I’ll wear a t-shirt. Will put PJs on to lounge about the house in and in the morning but still no knickers

Why did it get so heated?!

Because it couldn’t BREATH!!!!

No knickers, obviously.

Whatever makes you comfortable, reasonable to wear if you are happy with that.so not voting

lifeonthelane · 22/11/2025 21:20

Depends how long you wear pj's for. I wear pj's for 3 nights - knickers the first two, then no knickers on the third night before they go in the wash. I realise that's a very specific way of doing it 🤣

BurntBroccoli · 22/11/2025 21:20

I wear my pj bottoms until I actually get into bed then just wear a vest or T shirt and knickers to sleep in. I hate having anything on my legs.

phantomofthepopera · 22/11/2025 21:19

I wear knickers if I’m wearing them around the house as ‘lounge wear’ but no knickers for sleeping. Though I rarely wear PJs in bed unless it’s freezing cold.

happysunr1se · 22/11/2025 21:19

So if you sleep naked, do you change your sheets after every night?!

I find the “airing out” point odd. You’re still wearing pyjamas, and you’re under a duvet, how much airflow is there??

Im imagining someone sleeping on top of the covers, legs akimbo....possible with a fan pointed at their fanjo for maximum aeriation!😂

Knickers for me. Under PJ's and if it's hot just my knicks.

I wear socks... light sports bra... knickers and pjs in bed .. otherwise I don't feel right

So if u go - no knickers- to let the air get to "it", how come the air can get through PJ's if it couldn't get through knickers and what is the air doing to your butt anyway???

YorkshirePuddingsGreatestFan · 22/11/2025 21:17

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.

Clevs · 22/11/2025 21:16

Neither. But when I did wear pyjamas when younger it was without knickers.

Don’t really understand your poll so haven’t voted. However, knickers on here. Otherwise, aren’t you just sloshing around in the same moist juices every night until you change your crusty pants 🩲 😜

Threads like this make me think some of us have less moist juices than others! No sloshing here 😆

HoppityBun · 22/11/2025 21:15

What? “Unreasonable wearing knickers. Reasonable not wearing knickers”

Those say the same thing. Both ways you’re saying no to knickers. Do you live in N Korea?

Butterflysunshine01 · 22/11/2025 21:15

If I’m wearing pjs for a while before bed - say 7/8pm onwards , I wear knickers and pjs. Then take the knickers off before bed, but I have very easy to wash and tumble pjs so change daily.

OSTMusTisNT · 22/11/2025 21:14

I only wear PJs out of bed so always knickers and bra.

Elmeux · 22/11/2025 21:14

Definitely knickers on if I’m in pyjama bottoms mooching around the house. Who wants to sit down with the seam of the trousers riding into your vag. Getting into bed is knickers off though. I can’t bear pyjamas legs twisting and getting all tangled, so I’m bare below in a nightie

cupfinalchaos · 22/11/2025 21:14

Nay.

ExperiencedTeacher · 22/11/2025 21:13

Absolutely no knickers and no pjs for bed

Cyclebabble · 22/11/2025 21:12

Generally knickers. Very occasionally when it is hot no knickers, but eventually I move to sleeping naked.

If you think this is a strange discussion you would be horrified if you heard some of the things my close friends and I discuss!

Was thinking the same .. recent discussion was about penguin chocolate bars...seems they bourbon biscuits covered in chocolate...we all had to proof it by licking the chocolate off a penguin 🐧...small minds of a group of ladies who support and care for each other alot!

AlexaBeQuiet · 22/11/2025 21:11

No knickers

As pjs are usually lose it’s just allowing some air around
