DH-same PJs, no pants, 7 days… am I overrea

Yousay55 · 2026-08-06T21:48:53+00:00

My dh goes to bed in the same pjs every night -washes them once or twice a week and doesn’t wear anything underneath. We’re on holiday and hasn’t washed them in a week now. I think it’s pretty awful to wear the same ones without washing them and can’t imagine putting on the same pjs at the end of the day. We’ve had a debate and he thinks it’s what all men do. I think I’m going to buy him a pair to wear everyday day so this doesn’t keep happening!

Nope, my husband and I both sleep naked.

My DP sleeps naked too. And he doesn't wear boxers.

I also have a little shudder at the thought of men in pyjamas. Same with men who carry a canvas tote bag on their shoulder. A man sleeping next to me wearing pyjamas and a little tote bag on his slumbering shoulder would be the stuff of nightmares.

Well, anyone wearing a tote bag in bed would be seriously weird but what's
the issue with men using canvas tote bags generally?

DeftGoldHedgehog · 09/08/2026 07:52

I wear pjs for a week but with pants. I wouldn't notice how long DH wears his for but normally he just wears pants anyway unless it's cold.

BeanQuisine · 09/08/2026 07:34

I have pyjamas but don't wear them in bed, I only wear them in the supermarket.

But I do my supermarket shopping online these days, so just put the PJs on while I'm compiling my order.

Peterbyres1 · 09/08/2026 07:03

Clean pyjamas every day sems a but much! (I wear a t shirt and boxers in bed and probably change them every 3rd/4th night)

HarshbutTrue2 · 09/08/2026 06:25

It would be really gross if he was wearing a string vest under his pyjamas and not changing that either

AImportantMermaid · 08/08/2026 09:08

I can’t wear pants in bed. I need to air my giblets.

Probably because it touches your body. Anything that touches your body on mn is gross and must be washed immediately or thrown away.

Ahh of course. What a disgusting species we are!

Why? Surely if they don’t wear pyjamas they wear boxers.

Unless he shits himself I don’t see the issue but also, don’t know any man who wears PJs. I live in my pjs when I’m at home but don’t sleep in them but still don’t wash them every day, I’m sat on my settee doing nothing in them and don’t see the need!

MaryBeardsShoes · 08/08/2026 07:39

I can't believe so many people are repulsed by a man in pyjamas

wishingonastar101 · 07/08/2026 11:26

Never met a man who wears PJs.

How would you know?!? Do you ask every single man you meet ??

I mostly sleep standing up by the side of the bed and then get the carpet cleaned each morning.

🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for making me chuckle! I haven't felt well today and have a long day tomorrow and this thread is cheering me up.

Why do you want to wear underwear at night? Is that something your family did when you were a child?
Especially as a woman one should want to give your body a break from the tight modern knickers /and I dont mean anything extra tight, just average knickers/ and let your crotch to get some air /sorry dont seem to find better wording here/. Pyjamas are a lot looser than day clothes.

Show quote history

I don’t remember either way from childhood. I wear knickers with pjs as they’re trousers, and I wear knickers with other trousers.
My pjs aren’t all that loose.

Justchillinhere · 07/08/2026 21:30

I sleep in the cats bed so I don't dirty my sheets!

I thought only llamas wore pyjamas.

Not llamas, it's bananas...

katepilar · 07/08/2026 20:05

I guess people are different but I have never heard of getting sticky at night (bar peri/menopausal women or similar). I thought that people generally get sticky and dirty during the day rather than at night.

I do understand the too tired to wash in the evening.

katepilar · 07/08/2026 19:52

chocoluv · 07/08/2026 09:08

So he’s only wearing them for 2/3 days without washing - that’s normal.

No one wears a different pair of PJs every day.

Most people sleep naked or with no bottoms anyway and no one changes the bed sheets every day.

You seem to have interviewed everyone on the planet.

Too many questiond. How do you wear jeans or frocks with no undies.

What about when you have your period?

Dont your clothes get stained and marked eith normal vaginal discharge?

Show quote history

I think ladies who dont wear knickers usually wear skirts and dresses.
Not everyone has a regular discharge, most dont I should think.

I know this isn't the point, but could someone clear up a related issue for me?
Is it correct to wear underwear with PJ trousers, or no underwear? I think you wear it but my DP is adamant that PJs with underwear is weird.
