To think that really pyjamas should be washed after every wear?

[scaryclown]

Not that I do it!
But they are worn next to the skin for 8 hours and I'd wash anything else worn like that..

What do you think?

I change top everyday as I find I get back acne if I wear it more than once, pj bottoms I change every 2/3 days

And this thread is the reason we struggled with 22kg of luggage for 7 nights holiday all due to different night shirt and shorts for 7 nights

Ha ha I'm with the mingers obviously. Naked in bed except for pants to keep the poo crumbs in. But we don't have a shower and I certainly don't bath daily. Such as waste of water and it is so bad for your skin! A bit of grime is healthy.

Ha ha ha I haven't read the answers but yes that should but no they are not in our household!

I wash everybody's after 1 night none of us where pants underneath so I'd feel grim putting them on again.

Putting pyjama bottoms on more than once feels like wearing yesterday's knickers. Hence I wear a nightie as I think they are OK to wear more than once.

I Have a clean pair for every evening and so do my children... just always have

my daughter wears them for about an hour then strips off for bed she gets too hot

Goodness, how have folk survived from the days when washing was done once a week and pjs certainly not washed after one wear. A-folk could afford 7 sets of nightwear. B-imagine scrubbing a whole family's nightwear e.g. 4x7=28. Get real, we are obsessed with hygiene, wipes for this,sprays for that and showering every day. No wonder there is a huge increase in lung and skin problems. We are the cause!

I wash my children's pjs everyday, mainly due to them getting filthy after breakfast. I go to bed in a vest top, which I would have worn that day. Sounds a bit icky writing it. I do care about the environment but with three children under 4 I tend to put on about 1-2 washes a day.

'I need new nightwear every night. Doesn't mean I don't care about the environment. I wouldn't wash them if I didn't need to.'

'I do care about the environment but with three children under 4 I tend to put on about 1-2 washes a day.'

Oh my god, I must ming to high heaven as I cannot believe these people are real.

mairead- I don't get your point.

I do at least 10 loads a wee, often more. Five of us.

Ha ha- a week, not a wee!

An evening bath or shower is a much better idea. Generally we get sweaty and dirty during the day,

Speak for yourself! I like getting sweaty and dirty of a night ...

Exactly.

I am often overly fragrant in the morning.

Mingers always say 'It's bad for your skin' 🤣

I shower (at least) twice a day
I wash my hair at least once a day
I don't wear pyjamas/nighties (occasionally pants)
Bedding & towels changed at least twice a week
Knickers, socks AND bras at least daily (clean ones on if the original ones come off for any reason)
Tops fresh daily
Shorts/jeans/trousers one or two wears
Tea towels go in a separate wash.

I declare anything less 'minging' and anything more 'neurotic'. If you could all follow the Rulz we could do away with these repetitive threads.

😊🤣

You can tell it's the holidays ScaryClown has started another wind up thread 🤡🤣

Wash them everyday. I think it's horrible not too. Mind you once I am home I do put on what they now call loungewear on if no one is expected. Far more comfortable than normal clothes and bliss

I don't wear pjs in bed. I just wear them to relax in all evening.
I wash them when I remember to, usually if I have split something down the top.
I can't quite believe how obsessed and paranoid people have become about washing and germs. To be honest I think it's pathetic people are so bloody precious.

Cailleach- 5 of us here too. 3 boys aged 13, 10 and 6 and a husband who wears a shirt a day. I don't do anything like that number of loads of washing.

'I wash my hair at least once a day'. Again, is this person real?

mairread-
I wash nearly 100 socks a week.

Five sets of bedding ( three double beds)
Towels- washed every few times- 20 big towels a week.
15 shirts for school and work.
35 sets of pjs.
10 leotards- 10 pairs of leggings and dance tights
10 gym kits, shorts, leggings t shirts
Not to mention casual wear jeans, t shirts, shirts and the ongoing bit items like coats, covers, kitchen cloths etc.

Jeans, fleeces, jumpers and all worn 3 or 4 times before washing

Never less than 10 a week

Cailleach,
As I say, I must ming to night heaven. (Actually I don't- clean, tidy house. Cleanish kids but I must admit to not bothering cleaning shorts with a bit of mud on if they are going to wear them to play football and add to the mud. I don't know why anyone would. As long as pants and socks are clean, I don't obsess about the rest, particularly over Summer hols).

As a grim student, I change my pyjamas when they start feeling sweaty once every 2 weeks and my bedding gets changed if I spill something on it so about once in 3 months

Might be grim but no-one has complained yet!

This thread makes me despair. I can't believe how many people believe they need to wash their pjs (and all clothes) every time they're worn (when do they find the time), and constantly shower - it's just not necessary. I don't know when this shift took place and how I ended up in the minority in thinking this is nuts.

Every 2/3 days is sufficient unless you are particularly sweaty

People wear pants under PJs?
Personally I go commando, as does my OH but I do have a few lovely nighties (in case I am hospitalised) to wear if we have guests as I forget and tend to wander the house naked.
I can't imagine having to wear pj trousers all night, how restrictive, but to wear underwear too ??? Could someone explain the reasoning behind this please.
