Underwear under pjs.

Dd attended a sleepover and told me that all the girls wear pants under their pjs and they laughed at my dd as she just put her pjs on with no underwear.
I've never worn underwear under my nightwear. I thought it was good to let the area breathe at night!!!
Or is this just something my mum has taught me and does everyone else wear underwear under nightwear?!
Worried I've been doing it wrong for the past 40 years!

Nope no pants, it's time to relax in bed. In fact I sleep with nothing on😂!

Kids sleep in pjs without undies, total comfort in our house 😂

Out of curiosity for those wearing pants, is it the same pants as during the day? (I wear no pants but wash PJ's after one wear)

Underwear in bed is decidedly unhealthy.

It depends if I've showered before bed. Fresh pants if I have. If not I'll keep the same ones on I've worn all day. Unless it's a thong - can't wear a thong to bed.

Never once had a yeast infection. Clean pants at night, clean pants in the morning.

Only ever had one yeast infection (when I was a student) not had one for 20 years. I've worn pants to bed every night since I was about 11!
WaitinginVain · 15/08/2021 21:54

@Germolenequeen Same here, clean pair before bed. Couldn't sleep without my "bed bra" either.

dementedma · 15/08/2021 21:54

Not this again!

liveforsummer · 15/08/2021 21:54

Always pants. If it's warm I don't wear ph bottoms at all but I prefer to keep a barrier between mucous membranes and clothing and/or sheets: plus I generally feel more comfortable anyway. Dc always wear pants too.

hamsterchump · 15/08/2021 21:55

Always worn pants, clean comfy ones for night time, in fact that's all I wear to bed as I don't find tops comfortable.

I've never had Thrush, now I'm wondering if its all the special breathing some people seem to do (in many times worn pyjama bottoms) that causes it.

BashfulClam · 15/08/2021 21:55

I’m just not comfortable without pants 🤷🏻‍♀️ it’s surely up to each person. DH just wears his boxers.

@Pollypocket89

Why are some pp saying eurgh and gross etc?!
because it's Mumsnet where bodily fluids are foul and reprehensible and everything must be bleached boiled or zoflora'd to within and inch of its life for merely brushing past a body part.
Suzi888 · 15/08/2021 21:56

Got to wear pants!

liveforsummer · 15/08/2021 21:57

Ah the breathing thing! You know your genitals don't have their very own respiratory system? 🤣 cotton underwear is fine

Germolenequeen · 15/08/2021 21:57

@WaitinginVain

Never had a "bed bra" but it sounds tempting 🤔

liveforsummer · 15/08/2021 21:58

@BeautifulBirds

No pants, full stop. Bloody horrible uncomfortable things that dig in and eat your ass!
Buy better fitting underwear
SamVimes6 · 15/08/2021 21:59

The less I wear the more comfy I am.

I usually sleep naked.
I only wear pyjamas if Dh is away and I’m home alone, I’m stopping at one of my daughters homes or if grandkiddies are here.

No need to wear knickers in bed, let a bit of air around my fanny. Couldn’t stand to sleep in knickers or a bra.

abw94 · 15/08/2021 22:01

No pants I was always told to let the area breathe!

Obviously wear them on my lady week though.

Lamby1234 · 15/08/2021 22:01

Lulu1919 · 15/08/2021 22:02

Pants here but we have sleep pants that are in a diff pile to daytime pants !!!
As an adult night pant wearer I buy bigger cotton pants for sleeping in !!!
