Do you wear knickers under pyjamas

And why?
spent the night away with some friends and noticed that they did. I understand if you wear knickers instead of pyjamas although I tend to go alfresco.
so unless you’re wearing a pad maybe, why would you?

Oh silly me, I didn’t realise you have to ask everybody else a question before you’re allowed to post it on mumsnet

I must be disgusting then cause I wear jarmies 4/5 times before washing them and don't wear knickers underneath unless on my shark week

Well they were there in front of you and you were curious. 🤷‍♀️

Wouldn't even occur to me to take my knickers off when putting pjs on had, no idea this was a thing, even my kids keep their pants on with their pjs.

I prefer not to but in a quest to reduce the mountains of laundry I have started to, clean on for bed, cotton only. If I don't I won't re-wear a pair of pyjama bottoms. This way I get 2/3 nights out of them at this time of year.
I would be more likely to if sharing a bed/room with a friend rather than DH too.

hesbeingabitofadick · 13/11/2022 13:20

Yes.

ohyouknowwhatshername · 13/11/2022 13:21

Not only do I wear knickers but I keep my bra on too.

Fufumcgoo · 13/11/2022 13:21

I think what people do at joke. And what people do away with friends are two different things.

At home, no I wouldn't wear knickers under Pj's but I'm at home with access to a drawer full of fresh Pj's whenever needed. Away with friends where I have only packed potentially one or two pairs of Pj's I would to keep them a little fresher and for modesty if we were room sharing.

*What people do at home

SkinnyFatte · 13/11/2022 13:23

No.

I wear nighties & no pants because I am prone to thrush & I find going commando helps keep it away.

Even on holiday with friends where your room sharing?

What if you toss the covers off at night and have your flaps out for all to view?

An under wired one? 😳 Not to sleep surely?

Definitely, I wash pj bottoms after 2 washes so clean knickers are an essential for me. I’m surprised how many people sleep nude. I’d find that so uncomfortable for a whole night not to mention the amount of bed linen changes it must generate , but each to their own .

I think you over estimate how much other people wash their bedding 😂

Ladyofthelake53 · 13/11/2022 13:32

Was always told by my nan and my mum it's unhygienic and air needs to circulate, I don't wear pants with pyjamas most of the time. Guess it's not very nice if you've worn knickers,all day and all through the night, personal choice I guess.

my nan always rinsed her underwear out after wearing as well, an old fashioned thing I think

BarbedButterfly · 13/11/2022 13:43

Nope but I sleep starkers anyway. Never room share with anyone but DP

Sparklingbrook · 13/11/2022 13:45

What about during the day when you would wear pants and trousers? How does the air circulate then? Or does this only matter if you are in bed?

namechanged221 · 13/11/2022 13:47

I used to but discovered it's much nicer not to!!!!

CantStartaFireWithoutaSpark · 13/11/2022 13:48

Note to self, never ever buy PJs on Vinted.

I’m actually shocked, this is a total revelation.
I never knew not working underwear in bed was even a thing.

HeadacheEarthquake · 13/11/2022 13:51

I think you mean go commando
Not al fresco Grin

I guess if you shower and put on clean underwear and pj's it's ok but personally I wouldnt want to go to bed in knickers I'd worn all day. Like I said personal choice

Oh god the bloody washing freaks will be gathering shortly.

stand back, make way for the anti bacteria crew

Maybe they wore knickers because they were in the presence of others (who notice these things) in their nightwear but normally wouldn't?
As for 'why would you' you should have asked him/her.

Yes - maybe it was a male friend? If so, do men worry about airing their tackle?

That aside, I don't think I've ever possessed a pair of pyjamas because I don't like the feel of trousers. Nighties and no knickers all the way.

MysweetAudrina · 13/11/2022 13:58

No knickers and fresh bottoms every night.

Here we go

Lorrymum · 13/11/2022 13:59

No, wear PJs after bath and watch TV for a few hours. Take them off to sleep, I could never wear them in bed.
