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!

This thread has made me laugh so much. Nominating it for Classics already.

👏 Great banter 👏 disappointed in myself for finding the thread so soon and not having more to read.

I can't believe how slack you are, festering in your own filth for - what at least 4 hours 😱 I personally shower at least 3 times overnight

But do you vacuum the mattress before getting back into bed?

Personally I get up at 2am to shower and change my pjs before sleeping for the rest of the night. Can’t imagine how gross I would feel otherwise 🤢

Every half an hour for me

No gross

His ball sweat just floating around the crotxh 🤢

But contained; not affecting the rest of the bed.

Scorchio84 · 06/08/2026 23:56

I'm howling at some of these replies 😂😂Sorry @Yousay55

Same, I change the bedding at 1am and 4am.

Only twice???
You need to be doing it every hour on the hour!😂🤣😂

Isn't it just.brilliant and vvv funny.

Another obsessive hygiene thread. As if humans weren't born into a muddy planet full of germs with an immune system to tackle it.

I burn my house down every morning. It’s the only way to be sure there’s no germs.

Only once a day? I burn mine to the ground at least twice an hour.

Happyjoe · 06/08/2026 23:30

Wearing the same PJ's for 7 days is grim. He's in PJ's at least 8hrs a night? Lots of sweat (esp in this weather) and prob more..

I wear PJ's, change them every day. I'd feel gross otherwise!

OP, this is gross. Unless you wear underwear beneath them, you should change your pjs bottoms daily. You wouldn’t wear the same pair of knickers for a week.

The responses are hilarious, but, I’m with you on this

pinksheetss · 06/08/2026 23:28

Iconic thread already

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

😂😂😂

JustGiveMeReason · 06/08/2026 23:26

Your dh is completely normal.

But I wish we still had the laughing emoji for the witty posts on this thread.

YAB ridiculous @Yousay55

Oh hiya! 👋 Quite likely - I'm the one wrapped in head-to-toe clingfilm

Cannot believe you'd stoop to clingfilm. I live in an antiseptic bubble.

it isn’t what all men do. My DH and my adult ds don’t wear PJs. Don’t even own them.

I think the dirty bit about rewearing PJs is the arse crack/crotch. That’s grim to keep putting that back on

I think I’ve seen you in John Lewis a few times when I buy my new mattress each morning.

I got floor tiles so I can replace the ones I stand on every morning.

Grim. I personally sleep standing up in a dettol shower for 8 hours a night.

If he's clean when he goes bed I think it's fine. If he's not showering after a day at work it could be getting a bit grim by the end of a week!
