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

Just a thought. If you then have sex do you bother putting on the pjs/ knickers again afterwards?

I would unless you want a wet patch on the sheets

Thank you for all your responses. Some are hilarious. It seems that team no knickers wins. I’m amazed and shocked that so many people aren’t decently covered at night.

No knickers.

No anything in fact. Naked. Every night.

Can't stand wearing anything in bed!

I am wondering how many times all these knickers people get thrush. I am late 30s. Literally never had it. Air everyday 😂

Reading the pro knicker posts, it seems that actually we do not get thrush or UTI s at all. I think this is why the knicker wearers are mystified by the ‘ must have airflow’ comments. I’m 47, always knickers and pjs. Never had any problems.
I also horse ride most days and sometimes wear knickers, tights and jodhpurs so definitely not much airflow!

I never wear underwear at home unless there's company.

I often don’t when out with a long summer dress on a warm day. I just avoid doing cartwheels. -And not when on a period. Very much a summer sport though.

I never don't wear knickers, never had it either.

Perhaps the knickers on brigade don’t suffer from it… I’ve never had a bacterial or fungal fanny problem in my life. In fact, until I read this thread I didn’t realise how common it was!

I do wonder if it's linked to laundry products/overwashing. We're fragrance free in our house, for bodies and for clothes and never had any infections of that sort either.
People on mn seem to shower thrice daily and wash their clothes every 10 minutes, neither of which strikes me as healthy for sensitive areas, particularly when highly perfumed products are used, as seems to be the norm these days.

You need to say which is unreasonable. Knickers or no knickers. I say definitely knickers or you have to change your PJs constantly

Quite! I can wear PJs for several days if I keep knickers on. I thought that was everyone. Otherwise I wear a nightie- e.g in the summer

This thread is hilarious!

So all you naked sleepers who manage to air your areas even while under a duvets or sheets, even if you jump into bed straight after a shower, if you fart in bed you are basically blowing micro poo crumbs all over your bed and then rolling around in it all night...so...are you changing those sheets every night?

This is probably why a lot of mumsnetters never see the bottom of their laundry baskets. There must be a correlation.

I doubt many people ( except you maybe) would even think about the micro particles from a fart never mind worry enough about it to change sheets daily. That sounds a bit OCD

No knickers, no PJs. Just warm duvet. Except during periods, have slept naked since my mid teens.

I never wear PJs & this is one of the reasons. The other is my huge chest.

No knickers and I think people who wear knickers are a bit gross, sorry!

I'm the opposite, I think people who don't are gross.

It's not nonsense. Just because it doesn't happen to you doesn't make it nonsense. And if someone gets thrush regularly then this is a small change they can make which might improve the situation for them.

I always said knickers in the past, and would wear PJs for quite a while before washing.

Now I'm mid-40s my skin has suddenly become really sensitive and prone to itch, so I'm totally converted to no knickers and nighties at night, and 100% silk french knickers during the day 😂

So either is acceptable imo depending on your skin type and desire to wash PJs.

Edited

Where do you get silk French knickers from?

No knickers and no PJs just a vest top for me

I can understand going knickerless under an oversized t shirt or nightie but I couldn't wear a short top and no knickers or pj bottoms. I'd feel like Winnie the Pooh!

If your underwear isn’t too small it won’t be rubbing

I rarely wear pyjama bottoms, JUST knickers, and of course a clean pair each night.

On the very rare occasions when I think it's cold enough to justify pj bottoms, I still wear the knickers, too.
