To expect my OH to wear clean undies every day?

[Beardsareweird]

I have just read the thread about the bloke not showering. My OH does not change his undies every day and makes his boxers last about 3 days. It sounds truly disgusting, but he doesn't smell. Is this normal? I could not ever imagine wearing the same pair of undercrackers two days in a row.

I change mine in the morning and at night! Can't even sleep in the same pair. Gross.
Why wear knickers in bed? That isgross. Let your body breathe!

My ex wore some Santa boxers for 11 days in a row once. And he wondered why I left........

Oh and he only showered at the swimming baths on a Thursday when he took ds there. And he wondered why sex was so def not happening!!

Part of choosing our Partner is about liking their body scent (often subconsciously), so you can't reliably say if your DP smells. It's like not 'smelling' your house/dog, until you've been away from it.

So it's normal to think that your DP doesn't smell 'bad' in the sense of being unclean.

I've been around and worked with couples that make these statements, when the rest of us are thinking "No, you really need to be washing and wearing clean clothes, daily".

Don't get me started on smokers or people that don't clean their teeth properly/often, but insist that their or DP never have bad breath.

To be crude, I don't enjoy a front wedgy from my pyjamas!

Pants in bed keeps sheets clean. it,s sctuslly all I wear in bed. Even if krandin'5 have the same discharge and slight dampness that ladies do, there are per droplets and poo crumbs in s daily basis. Who wants to put on dirty scants when you are just showered. Shower every morning and clean scants applied.

People wear knickers for bed?

What about poo particles and pissdrops?

Ewwwwwww.

It is disgusting not to change pants and knickers daily.

I take it that these men fart, shit and piss like everyone else. Of course his boxers come into close contact with his arse and sweaty bollocks. Does he never sit down at all? Does he wear such large billowing boxers that he can have a wind machine blowing through them all the time?

Don't you wash/bath/shower before bed?
If you have a medical issue then of course you take suitable precautions. Otherwise you should be fine all night.

I wouldn't want my lady parts to be bound up 24 hours a day - it sounds must unsanitary. Leave them breathe!

i live by the motto 'knickers worn twice aren't so nice'

This made me laugh so much, I had actual tears.

I do agree though - no need for knickers in bed, surely?!

Re pants 3 days running - yuk. Just no need!

What?! WTAF is going on here??

Men's boxers are dirt cheap, buy more ffs! There is no excuse. It's just foul to wear something that goes next to your arse and genitals for more than one day.

YUCK.

I wear pants to bed! 3rd trimester so....leakage (tmi? sorry ). So 2 pairs a day for me. Nothing better than putting on clean pants before bed.

DH changes his daily. OP your OH is minging.

He is grim. Clean pants every day is just basic personal hygiene.

Pants in bed is wrong though.

This thread is grim and bizarre in turns. A grown adult shouldn't have any wee or poo in their pants barring health reasons. But that is not a reason for underwear rationing! Clean pants every day and air on your bits at night. Fgs people this is 101 surely.

You know we all have we and poo particles on our genitals and bottoms all of the time? Even if you wash every time after using the toilet!

This isn't the bloody dark ages. We don't have to live with rationed underwear and shit access to clean/hot water. So ratchet to wear the same pair of undies for 3 days.

Also, it's not "gross" to wear underwear to bed. What the fuck, haha. It's just a choice. It's gross to freeball in bed and then only change your sheets once in a blue moon.

3 days in the same undies...LTB !

As for wearing smalls in bed...no. I was always told to prevent thrush and promote a generally healthy veejayjay, you have to let it air...

I certainly do not have a thrust veejayjay my bottom and front bottom are guaranteed to be free of seams in the night this way.

Fruitcider, what on earth are your jimjams getting up to while you're sleeping? Maybe my jammies lack initiative, but they're never once tried it on with my bits. While I'm sleeping! I think you have your pj's confused with Ian Dury.

And I must know - what are these gents "saving" their clean boxers for? Inspection day? The queen coming round? A zombie apocalypse in which the undead are only repelled by clean men's pants?

Yours, confused in Canada

You know all these people who don't smell? WELL, YOU DO!! Get showering daily, and change your clothes and that definately means your pants!

Tbf, I sleep naked because I don't like the wedgies that wearing pj's causes. So she may have a point! I'm a wriggler and everything just ends up getting hitched up

3 days? No!
I'm sorry but even if you shower twice a day, we all sweat (even if some people say they don't smell...they're still sweating throughout the day), there's poo and wee particles that will end up on his pants. I don't think it's hygienic.
I don't understand why he's reusing them- does he only have one pair of boxers? He needs to buy more if that's the case...
