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...

usualsuspect · 12/08/2011 21:40

I like to feel free and unrestricted in bed

Reallyusefulengine · 12/08/2011 21:42

If you don't wear knickers in bed, does that mean you don't wear anything or that you wear nothing underneath your nightie/pyjamas etc?

MightyQuim · 12/08/2011 21:43

I would only wear 2 if I had a shower/bath late in the day I would put fresh on after. Or if I had the shits I may get through many pairs but 1 pair a day is generally the norm.

TobyLerone · 12/08/2011 21:43

I don't wear knickers or anything else in bed.

Oh, so that's what 'snug as a bug in a rug' refers to...

I used to sleep in nothing but sleep in pj's since DC as I don't like wandering about naked.

babycham42 · 12/08/2011 21:47

Depends on how many times I sneeze sometimes....

rhondajean · 12/08/2011 21:48

I didnt realise people go through so many knickers. Ive started going to the gym 6 days a week and without realising it I wear 2 pairs a day - one to gym and one after, but if anyone asked me as a quick question Id have said one.

My mum used to iron knickers and towels, but shes always had too much time on her hands tbh.

How could anyone NOT wear knickers in bed?

I went to boarding school and so will forever wear as many clothes as possible in bed. Ah, the ignominy of seven in a room...

OP, I wear two pairs a day - one in the morning and one in the evening after my bath, fresh for bed. Big M&S apple catchers. And my what apples they are!

scottishmummy · 12/08/2011 21:56

clothes to go to bed?i sleep in scud
what's the point of getting a bidie in and going to bed like granny in oxter high pants

WilsonFrickett · 12/08/2011 22:02

Scottish I am probably the only other person on here who understands a word of that Grin

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 12/08/2011 22:07

Oh no, I understand it and it's making me nostalgic for when I lived in Scotland! Love the term 'bidie-in'. Also 'scud' doesn't get used often enough. Thanks scottishmummy!

Olifin · 12/08/2011 22:47

Reallyuseful I think for most of us that means nowt. I don't think I've worn clothing to bed since I left home. Like other posters, I have some PJs which are for lounging around in during the evening and then they come off when I go to bed.

I wash the sheets weekly which seems to me to be enough.

michelleseashell you made me larf. Also totally agree that wearing nursing bra and no knickers would feel weird. And yes, socks in bed can f*ck right off.

BaronessBomburst · 12/08/2011 23:16

Do all the people who only wear one pair a day live somewhere cold? How can you wear the same knickers all day when it's 30+ degrees? They'd be minging by tea time!

30+ degrees? What the hell is that?

hellsbells4 · 12/08/2011 23:28

one pair in the morning to go running/ then shower and clean knicks/then clean knicks if I'm going to work in the evening/ then sometimes clean knicks for bed - total 4 in one day! Grin

biddysmama · 12/08/2011 23:36

i go through 2 pairs a day and i'm pregnant (4th time so pretty leaky)

Reallyusefulengine · 12/08/2011 23:38

olifin and Rhondajean You take your pjs off to go to bed? That's very, very odd.
