DP has just text me saying he is putting the washing away and most of it is my knickers.

I wear 2-3 pairs per day and I don't think this is unusual or excessive...

I wear knickers in bed too. I feel too naked without them.

passingtime · 12/08/2011 10:49

no, I wear big knickers in the night for comfort, occasionally I wear none but mostly its the good old bridgets

Do you wear knickers in bed? Why? I sometimes wear two pairs - one to work and another when I go home and get changed (cycle to and from work so sometimes it's nice to have clean ones for lounging around in). Three pairs seems a little excessive though.

You see if you're worried about hygeine you need to start right there - give your fanjo some breathing space woman!

BaronessBomburst · 12/08/2011 10:50

I'm not leaky or gunky either! I just hate it if they get damp or sweaty, so put on a clean pair. I've got millions of knickers so I might as well wear them all.

worraliberty · 12/08/2011 10:50

Just the one pair...fresh on in the morning and no knickers after my nightly bath.

midnightexpress · 12/08/2011 10:50

hygiene

Suncottage · 12/08/2011 10:50

I only ever wear knickers in bed if I have my period.

I wear one pair a day (but have turned them inside out whilst backpacking Blush)

FourThousandHoles · 12/08/2011 10:50

ah, x posts

I don't wear knickers to bed

Not sure why you need to change your knickers when you come home from work

But each to their own. It's not as if they take up a lot of space in the laundry is it? Or do you wear enormous granny pants?

Oooh, ooooooh! But I always take them off to go to bed - the lovely nurse who sorts out my contraception once told me it was much healthier for "down there" to let the air get at it. Grin Nice image!

passingtime · 12/08/2011 10:52

midnight my nan used to say 'give your nunny some air at night' but since having dc I feel too exposed without knickers!

OP posts:
Cheria · 12/08/2011 10:53

One, sometimes none. And I don't wear any at night.

HoneyPablo · 12/08/2011 10:53

OP, you would get on with DH. He wears 3 pairs most days, 4 if he goes to the gym. Socks too.
DD14, on the other hand, seems to have no dirty washing. They are extreme. Both of them.

StealthPolarBear · 12/08/2011 10:53

change after every shower, so once a day, sometimes more often

minipie · 12/08/2011 10:54

One pair.

I sometimes wear knickers to bed... same pair I wore that day.

You must do an awful lot of laundry.

itisnearlysummer · 12/08/2011 10:54

2 pairs.

3 if it's really hot.

To quote DD, "I love fresh pants"

midnightexpress · 12/08/2011 10:54

For modesty's sake, or because the sight might frighten the horses?

If you have pjs on it won't make any difference, will it Confused

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 12/08/2011 10:54

Umm... what interesting texts you and DP send. Grin

HoneyPablo · 12/08/2011 10:54

Grin I have just told the world that DH wears knickers. He doesn't, obviously I meant boxers.

porcamiseria · 12/08/2011 10:54

very heard of panty liners OP

ApocalypseCheeseToastie · 12/08/2011 10:55

Whatever tickles ya pickle me dear Wink

DuelingFanjo · 12/08/2011 10:55

one pair but I ham having massive Deja Vous about this thread!

Birdsgottafly · 12/08/2011 10:58

OP, i understand the 'clean and fresh' feeling. I use liners and don't wear underwear in bed, so i only change twice a day. Its not like knickers take up much room in the wash, so don't change less often, if you don't want to.

Georgimama · 12/08/2011 10:58

Too exposed? eh?

I only ever wear knickers in bed when on period. I would put fresh knicks on if I was going out for the evening but otherwise, just the one pair.

Do you wear cotton/silk knicks or are they manmade fabrics? You need some natural fibres near your bits.

Unless you have serious secretion issues pantyliners are a no no too. Let your fanjo breathe for goodness sake.
