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?

Ah, skyzumbarubble - mine was a womble so showing my age here

Water that is safe to drink is expensive to provide in many places. Water in general is not 'wasted' but may get dirty and thus require expensive cleaning to make it safe. The waste is in the effort to treat water, not water itself unless you chose to live in an area with no supply (deserts etc). Not sure of real statistics but water drunk in the UK has been drunk and 'peed' about 8 times.

Who THE FUCK wears anything in bed (under the age of 60)???
Also Eskimo/Inuit/North of Gateshead...

PJ's - I wear for 3 days (with undercrackers).
Towels - get washed once a week.
Bedding - every 2 weeks

Kids' pjs got washed daily when DD was a toddler (mainly because she was forever spilling something). Nowadays nightwear for all 3 of us gets done 2/3 times a week (along with towels), so usually Sunday, Wed and Friday. I din't tend to wear my jim jams more than 3 nights (4 at most).

Maybe in your area, I can physically see the mountains where my water comes from.

I could NEVER wear pants to bed!
I have to, at least one week a month!

cardibach I don't know, just regular laundry: beddings, towels, sport clothes, black, white, colour, that's minimum 5 or 6 loads per week, with the machine always full with the 2 of us.
When the kids are back at school, they have 2 or 3 sets of clothes a day! (uniform, non-uniform, sport), the dogs beds need to be washed often or they start smelling...
Let's no even go into the yearly or bi-annual curtains/ sofa covers/ all the woolly bits in the winter, the list of laundry is never ending in this house.

Most people.

Who THE FUCK wears anything in bed

who the fuck sleeps naked, I would feel, well, naked :o

I also had a Pyjama case (it was a common 1970's Christmas present). It was a Womble.

I sleep naked. Always.
PJs feel like 'formal wear' for OAPs and infants.

I have to wear something in bed, I could never sleep naked. I would freeze.

No

And I always wear underwear in bed

I hate these bloody competitive clean threads. It is all the the mind and not based on any science. Nothing, but nothing in your PJ's will make you ill, or give you a skin infection after one bloody wear.

What happens at 60 that means your nightwear preferences would suddenly change???

(also, all children I know - who are clearly under 60 - and many adults feel more comfortable sleeping in some form of light cotton clothing - I prefer it to absorb sweat as it makes me more comfortable and I'm not even a particularly sweaty person)

Pyjamas are the work of the devil - they ride up ones bottom, and make you all sweaty

I'm surprised people wear nighties....I always got really tangled up in them and find them very uncomfortable....

OP asked for opinions. I don't think my pyjamas are trying to kill me. I just think they stink if I wear them for more than one night. Maybe I'm just smelly?

Me.

Also without pjs you sweat more, and are just sweating onto your sheets and mattress, which will attract the mattress creepy crawly bugs and mould and be very very unhygenic. Bleurgh, stinky.

I stopped sleeping naked when I was BF as I needed a big fucking bra and loads of pads to stop me leaking, then subsequently with toddlers frequently turning up in our bed for a cuddle, which has only just stopped (about 10yrsold for each of them).

I still have sex

or give you a skin infection after one bloody wear

debatable, girls or women are said to be at risk of infection if wearing dirty underwear. (I have no knowledge of the male equivalent).

The DCs only wear pyjamas once and chuck them straight into the wash basket. They both get super hot and sweaty during the night and it wouldn't be ice for them to re-wear stuff they've sweated in; I wouldn't make them wear sweaty day clothes so pjs are no different.

DH wears his for a few nights because he's a freak and doesn't sweat. I sleep naked so only wear pyjamas when we've got guests staying (and not always then, if it's MIL staying I like to sleep nude just to rile her up).

My dd9 came into our room this morning and I was obviously naked in the bed. i.e she could see my shoulders were bare. She said " you were doing it last night" That's usually the only time I sleep naked.

do you really sleep in the same bedroom than your MIL!

I have taken to nighties if I am wearing anything in bed- sleeveless short nighties which get washed about once every 4 wears. DH always sleeps with nothing on . DS 32 months and DD almost 5 months have clean on every day usually as end up covered in breakfast, milk or worse.
