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

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!

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

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.

Your dh is completely normal.

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

YAB ridiculous @Yousay55

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

😂😂😂

Iconic thread already

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

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!

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

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

This made me do an actual LOL

Me too!
@LemonSnail @Redredrumdedrum and @Melarus thank you for a damn good giggle x

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

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

Scorchio84 · 06/08/2026 23:56

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

No gross

His ball sweat just floating around the crotxh 🤢

But contained; not affecting the rest of the bed.

MeThreeTwoOne · 06/08/2026 23:58

Redredrumdedrum · 06/08/2026 23:06

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

CatsLikeBoxes · 06/08/2026 23:07

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?

Sasha07 · 07/08/2026 00:01

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

ZeppelinTits · 07/08/2026 00:01

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

WerewolfOfLoudon · 07/08/2026 00:05

@Yousay55 Honestly most men I have intimate bed knowledge about, wear pjs. Never more than 2 nights before washing. A week is grim, even if he showers before bed.

Is ball sweat chemically different from non-ball sweat?

You people disgust me. I simply never sleep.

Time spent sleeping is hygiene time wasted.

SnowFrogJelly · 07/08/2026 00:09

I shower every hour!

🤣 yes! Its dirtier

Yes this is true, but the sweat will leak through the trousers as they've been on for so long 🤣🤢
