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?

I wear knickers under my PJs.

Growing up I was never allowed to as mum said it needed to breathe but I hate the feeling of being bare down there.

I wear PJs a couple of times but have fresh knickers on before bed and again in the morning.

Yes, but I only wear pjs camping/sharing with my DD's in hotels. Normally it's nothing at all

Ramble0n · 13/11/2022 18:23

I'm gross and never wear knickers under PJs. I also wear my PJs at least 3 or 4 times.

Yes, because I put clean knickers on every day but will wear pjs a couple of times, if I didn’t then I’d wash my pjs after every wear.

Yes, same here.

superplumb · 13/11/2022 18:25

Yes . Have a few pairs of pj and if I didn't wear pants under id have to wash them everyday. Waste of resources imo. Whereas I own loads of pants.

@TellySavalashairbrush

Why does sleeping nude generate extra washing? I shower when I get up in the morning anyway.

Managed to get to middle age without it being an issue😁

If I get changed into pyjamas in the evening I leave my knickers on. When I go to bed I take off the pyjama trousers and the knickers and sleep in just the pyjama top. I don't like knickers or pyjama trousers in bed. In the morning I put the knickers and pyjama top back on unless I am having a shower straight away. I usually have breakfast before my shower though.

I do exactly the same

So do I

BiscuitLover3678 · 13/11/2022 18:27

I never have but now I’m starting to wonder if I should. Maybe it would be more comfortable.

The idea of wearing pants 24/7 is a bit odd though.

RinklyRomaine · 13/11/2022 18:27

Mostly sleep naked but if PJs of course knickers! Seams, and also gross unless you're washing them every day, which in these times is a bit shit really. Wash a teeny pair of pants instead.

AlwaysLatte · 13/11/2022 18:28

What an odd post. Not telling!

Ramble0n · 13/11/2022 18:28

I can't imagine wearing pants all day and all night.

That’s like putting dirty knickers back on for the day after they’ve been on the floor for a night! Same ones for 4 days in a row 🤑

Badnewsoracle · 13/11/2022 18:39

Yes, because I tend to wear PJs as lounge wear, I then take off both PJ bottoms and knickers before getting in to bed as I'm very susceptible to thrush.

If I am staying at someone's house I'll wear PJs and knickers, as I'll not change PJ's every day.

Yes

Because my pyjama bottoms don't get washed every day

WhatIsThisPlease · 13/11/2022 18:50

I wear pyjamas and clean knickers every night. I also keep my vest and socks on.

I'm a very cold person 😂

reallyworriedjobhunter · 13/11/2022 18:53

I don't - but I do wear clean pjs every night.

Sarahcoggles · 13/11/2022 18:54

Those who wear pyjamas and no knickers, do you wash your pyjamas every day?

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 13/11/2022 18:58

Yes I do. Clean knickers and pjs each time. My DM doesn't get it but I don't like the feeling otherwise

TellySavalashairbrush · 13/11/2022 12:07

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 haven't worn anything in bed for 30 years. How can sleeping in the nude be uncomfortable or warrant extra sheet washing?!

SoupDragon · 13/11/2022 19:01

I read once that it's important to let the air get to your lady bits and not wear knickers 24 hours a day

covering them with PJs isn't going to let the air to them. Only sleeping naked below the waist and sticking your arse out of the duvet will do that.

TurquoiseDress · 13/11/2022 19:02

No, never, too uncomfortable!

Discharge. If you don't have any, I'm very envious.
