Not to wear knickers in bed?

[Vulpius]

Not a thread about a thread, as such, but I was very struck by someone on another thread talking about her old bed kickers (as in knickers she wears in bed, not as in knickers worn by her bed). I would have thought it was thoroughly unreasonable to wear knickers of any description in bed (unless they are the type that leads to Things), but AIBU?

I don't wear knickers unless I'm wearing a skirt dress or shorts I hate them

Aren't the people who want to air their fannies worried about them getting darked upon?
Surely you have been around MN long enough to know the dangers of airing things in the dark.

Don't you wear knickers under jeans and trousers? What about the seams? Some of your fannies must be like old boot leather!!

User I need a crying laughing emoji!

Huge big amazing cotton "granny" pants for me, the idea of sleeping naked makes my skin crawl for some reason lol. I tried it once and was up in 15 minutes to get dressed. I love pjs though, I basically live in them. As soon as I'm home, even if I'm going back out later I have them on. My "airing time" is straight after my bath/showers I put on my bath robe and sit like relaxing for a good hour or so before I get into what ever I'm putting on. My youngest doesn't like to wear them for bed she says they're too twisty and can't settle in pjs either, only nighties. My eldest is the same as me.

Some of your fannies must be like old boot leather!! grin

This too!!!! lol

I do enough laundry as it is, I can't imagine having to wash every single pair of jeans or trousers after one wear, or take my work trousers to the dry cleaner after one use. Expensive, plus they wouldn't last very long.

I can't sleep naked unless we have very hot weather or I'm on holiday somewhere hot.I have jersey, long sleeved in winter and short in summer, nighties from La Redoute. Only place I could find modern ones.

This is a brilliant thread! Just PJs for me, no knickers

And I don't wear a bra to bed I really can't settle in it. As soon as I'm through the front door it's off. I suffer from chronic asthma though and sometimes if I've had a bad day just whipping that booby sling off is the most amazing comfort ever.

Surely if you are planning shennanigans with someone you put knickers on not off?

YUK!!

Wearing underwear in bed?

I stopped doing that at the age of about 13, when a female doctor told me that was why I was sore down there. Thrush etc.

Just as bad as men wearing under garments in bed.

Big no no.

Not at all hygienic either.

I dated a man who put a sex towel down on the bed to protect the bedding the first and last time we did the deed. It was very clinical. And weird.

A tangent about bed wear is why do they make pyjamas with strappy vests on the top and fleecey bottoms? Surely if you are cold enough to need toasty bottoms you need something warmer on the top? And if there has to be one half disproportionately warmer than the other, then doesn't it make more sense that the top be a long sleeved warm material as your shoulders are often out of bed, and the bottoms be cotton shorts, because your legs are under the duvet?

I have now had a glass (or two) of wine, and am crying with laughter at some of these. Koala and MsHarry, I am looking at you. And yes, Koala, the only time I wear knickers in bed is if I am hoping for some action. Definitely not for solo shenanigans, though, eggy.

It has all reminded me that I used to wear socks in bed (no pants, obvs), in case I had to get out of bed for a wee and there was a spider on the floor which might touch my foot. Now I have remembered this, I am going to have to dig out my bed-socks. Thanks, folks.

And don't get me started on men and bedtime undercrackers, Sally. Just no. I quite like a nice nightshirt, though, for ease of access.

Funny story...

When I was 18, I got up in the night to use the toilet. I slipped on the wet floor, landed on the bathroom sink which broke in half. I slid down the piece that stayed on the wall, passed out and woke up in a pool of my own blood. No idea what had happened, moved my arm and blood literally sprayed up the wall. I’d cut my arm down to the bone two thirds of the way round.

I calmly shouted for my mum. She came in and had the shock of her life then ran off to call an ambulance while her boyfriend tried to help stop the bleeding.

Paramedics arrived quickly and apparently I got very upset and made them leave the room. My mum asked me what was going on and I said...

“I’m not wearing any knickers - you have to put some on me!”

That was literally my biggest concern at that point.

Tammy, you are simply confirming all the prejudices of the fireman/burglar brigade. Please desist.

If I’m on my own, always wear vest and knickers, when I’m at my partners, nothing. Love the skin to skin.

My Nan used to sleep with her false teeth in, altho she used to grind them and had to get new sets regularly and was told to take them out at night. She did it in case she had to be rescued or died and didn't want anyone seeing her without her Hampsteads in. Some people worry about stuff like that. Me, not so much.

I have "Bedtime Pants"
These are Boxer style shorts that I wear with a vest top and only ever for bed.
I can't stand to not wear any..and OH likes taking them off! :)

Well yes for some men removing the knickers is their idea of foreplay

How tf did we get on to false teeth, Koala? Still can't do emojis, but it would be a PMSL one, if I could. My Gran kept a safety pin in her pants in case her husband tried to shag her. She also took the bulb out of the bedroom light so he couldn't seen her in her bed-pants. She only had six children as a result.

And Charlie, how do you cope with the waistband? That's my sticking point with pyjamas/underwear. I wear a nice, roomy men's shirt. Heaven help the firemen, burglars and spiders.

And Layla, completely agree about skin to skin. When I'm at DP's, I wear nothing at all, and relish in the whole skin-to-skin beeswax.
