Not to wear knickers in bed?

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?

The waistband is fine-It's more the riding up my ass and bits being half uncovered that bugs me :)
!-Hence why I wear the shorts, they are comfortable and cover everything I want them too!

I also think if I went without I would NEVER be left alone by the OH.
I once went out with a guy who went commando all the time-I always worried about the zip on his jeans

Vulpius · 20/02/2018 20:13

Charlie - Ouch. I do sometimes wear DP's underwear, but that tends to be post-shag, when I need to get home. Grin

Would worry slightly about a man whose dongle might meet a zip.

Lakie - how do you sit up without your undercarriage touching the sheets? Do you sleep on your front

The closest I get to sitting up in bed is reclining with a cup of tea balanced on my ample boobage. No undercarriage contact, and no fanny trails, even on dark sheets!

MrsKoala · 20/02/2018 20:43

That's the key then - stay reclined and roll off the bed sideways Grin

I spend half the night sitting up bfing and dealing with various dc. If someone told me i'd be a knicker wearing pyjamarer 6 years ago i'd have laughed my sexy naked face off. But look at me now.

@koala I too am sitting on my vag - right this minute in fact - if sitting up straight. If slouching back, sitting mainly on my lower back/coccyx. How the fuck do people sit on their bottoms?! I've been experimenting for the sat 10 mins and can't seem to achieve it

deadringer · 20/02/2018 21:07

I used to always sleep naked, now I am old and fat so prefer to cover up. I always wear knickers in bed and never get thrush.

LakieLady · 20/02/2018 21:13

*My ex slept naked.

He often left skids in the bed and occasionally followed through when he farted.*

I totally get why he's an ex. Grin

Vulpius · 20/02/2018 21:22

Lakie, there is not much that makes me LOL, but your post did. Too right. But I am v jel of the kind of boobage that you can rest a cup of tea on. You couldn’t rest a flipping marble on mine.

Tot, you are now making me wonder whether I am sitting on my vag. Thanks for that. Grin

@HoppingPavlova I have had a child and I don't need knickers and a large pad every night? Maybe for a couple of weeks after the birth but why pads for life Confused

Vulpius · 20/02/2018 21:35

Oh, ffs. Still wondering whether I am now sitting on my buttocks or my vag. Though I am wearing knickers and Evening Pyjamas, so maybe I need not worry unduly...

Lakie - indeed!

Vulpius · 20/02/2018 21:38

Also worryingly about the fanny-spiders. What possessed me to start this thread?

^worrying. Effing iPad and autocorrect...

@Vulpius I did it! Grin I am now sitting on my arse. We'll one arse cheek only actually. I achieved this by crouching on the chair (so sitting on my feet), then scooching the feet to one side so the cheek gently lowers into position as I lean my arm on the sofa arm. Just realised that this is actually how i sit most of the time. So I am a bottom sitter after all! (thank fuck - with all that practicing my vag was starting to feel a little crushed)

caringcarer · 20/02/2018 21:52

I sleep with nothing on at home as en suite but when away from home sleep with nothing on but have nightie by bed in case no en suite.

Sarahh2014 · 20/02/2018 21:54

Nope.No negatives to not wearing knickers.Never get thrush or cystitis and imo trousers do not chafe like people think they would .Plus you get to spend the knicker money on wine 😁

Vulpius · 20/02/2018 21:57

Oh, go away, all you people who have made me experiment with sitting on my fanny/buttocks. I just want a mice, quiet evening, without discharge, spiders, farticles etc...

OP posts:
Vulpius · 20/02/2018 21:59

I want an en suite, too. And I mean nice, not mice. I don’t want a mouse up my fanjo, thanks.

This is hilarious, MrsKoala I think we must be very similar as I have all the same issues. Also in terms of "airing" I just make sure I dry myself well after an evening shower, I always use the hairdryer on the cold setting on myself. DH once caught me and was amazed, killed a bit of feminine mystique. I have never had thrush.

Vulpius · 20/02/2018 22:06

MrsM I thought I was the only one who blow-dried my ladygarden. Seems I am wrong. For which I am monstrously grateful. Should be going to bed now, but as DP is not here, I am stuck with either my Jane. Eyre nightie or nothing.

OP posts:
MrsMarigold · 20/02/2018 22:15

Vulpius it is very sensible. My DH still at work so I'm off to bed in my tartan pjs.

TotHappy · 20/02/2018 22:19

In the spirit of experimentation which this thread has inspired, I'm going to bed sans knicks.
Will let you know if I piss myself.

LakieLady · 20/02/2018 22:27

I don’t want a mouse up my fanjo, thanks.

Best you keep your knickers on then Vulpius!

ilovechocolates · 20/02/2018 22:35

Don't sleep in knickers, just pjs or varying lengths/warmness depending on weather. Now concerned about fanjo spiders so am tucking pj trousers into my bedsocks
