And would you always change them straight after a night of, erm, bed-activities.

Asking for a friend...

New PJs every night and same for DS. Nice fresh PJs. Can't beat them.

Nannyplumssillyoldelf · 29/04/2018 19:00

Once a week is the maximum but I usually spill coffee down them or something so it's rarely that long. I wear pants on bed, hardly sweat and rarely dtd.

QueenOfMyWorld · 29/04/2018 19:04

I sleep naked

Reel9 · 29/04/2018 19:06

Who wears pjs during bedtime activities?

I usually wear pjs for two nights.

reddressblueshoes · 29/04/2018 19:08

Washing them every night is not normal- if I was away for a two week holiday I'd only bring one pair, generally speaking. At home maybe change every week.

But yes, I wear underwear which makes a difference, and I'm not a sweaty sleeper st all. But from things like summer camps, sharing rooms with people, flat shares where you can see what other people hang up- the wash after every wear people are in the minority.

(And contributing to the destruction of our environment, but that's another issue...)

Daily, washed dried and ironed.

Hohofortherobbers · 29/04/2018 19:13

You iron pyjamas? Is life not too short?

GrumpySausage · 29/04/2018 19:14

I can't sleep in pj's but will wear them to lounge around in the evening. I normally go 2-3 days.

I have never once ironed a lot of pj's. What's the point?!

ilovewinterpansies · 29/04/2018 19:16

Everyday without fail. I relax this rule on washing machine less holidays but that's the only exception.

Ironing pyjamas?! Not sure whether I'm impressed or appalled!! 😂

MaryShelley1818 · 29/04/2018 19:17

Probably every 5-7 days but I sleep naked so only have them in for a couple of hours a night (and some nights not at all).

HelenTheHunter · 29/04/2018 19:18

Every few days. Max a week.
But I'm moderately slovenly. And not at all sweaty. If I have a cold / have been drinking alcohol and get sweaty overnight I don't wear them again.
I also change them if it's a weekend and I've inadvertently not got dressed all day...
Someone mentioned three washes for jeans... I wear jeans until they're visibly dirty or could walk themselves to the machine Grin keeps them in much better condition (proper denim, not mostly elastic...)

Alwayssearching · 29/04/2018 19:20

Haha. It only takes a few seconds when I have the ironing out anyway. It only take me ten mins a day before the kids are up .. ( and I secretly love it)

ghostyslovesheets · 29/04/2018 19:21

once a week but I don't sleep in them - I only wear them for an hour before bed really and maybe a couple of hours on a Sunday morning!

Mannix · 29/04/2018 19:22

Once a week. I'm not a very sweaty person.

EdWinchester · 29/04/2018 19:22

We sleep naked. Clearly cuts down on washing.

gwincath · 29/04/2018 19:22

Every day... not through choice and never used to... but the lovely age related night sweats means I have to Confused

Rednailsandnaeknickers · 29/04/2018 19:24

About 3-4 nights. I'm not a sweaty Betty. I also dislike excessive laundry from both an environmental and workload point of view.
Except during my period when my temp shoots through the roof so I either wear nothing or clean ones every day for first few days of the red tsunami.

Namethecat · 29/04/2018 19:27

Wear pjs after a bath/shower with pants but don't wear them to bed so will change in a nightie. Couldn't wear pants to bed except for period nights.

ShapelyBingoWing · 29/04/2018 19:28

Envy

I really hope this is due to a willingness to hand-wash.

FoodGloriousFud · 29/04/2018 19:31

2 days but only wear them in bed.

Mouseville65 · 29/04/2018 19:35

2 days, I only wear them to lounge in tho. Sleep in vest top and knickers.

I've just been away for a two week holiday. I took one pair (vest and shorts) I struggle enough sticking to the baggage limit without taking 14 pairs on pyjamas!!!

bobstersmum · 29/04/2018 19:46

Am I daft in wondering how you do bedtime activities in pj's? Are they crotchless?

Grilledaubergines · 29/04/2018 19:48

Clean pair every night. But don’t wear them at all in warmer weather.

Lazypuppy · 29/04/2018 19:50

Probably once a week, not sure why i would need to change my pj's more frequently. I don't wash my tops/trousers/bras after 1 wear and all i do is sleep in pjs.
