To wear underwear to bed?

[awomensworkisneverdone]

This is so Random but I really want to know! Do you wear underwear to bed?
As a kid I was told by my stepmom to let it all breath, and be free from underwear.
By my mum I was told to wear underwear.. her view was simply if something happens in the night, you’re wearing underwear.(fire)
I seem to wash and put on clean underwear (briefs) nothing uncomfortable. Is it unhygienic to wear underwear to bed? I have on occasions not wore any but it’s such a habit now. I don’t wear my bra to bed. My mate thinks I’m bonkers wearing underwear to bed. Is it important to let our lady bits breath?

I wear knickers in bed.

I doubt my bits could breathe under my heavy quilt anyway!

I don't. I find it uncomfortable to wear undies and I think it's good to let everything breathe.

I don't wear underwear to bed. I can't see the point.

I have pajamas on so why would I need anything else?

It’s good point to let Breath I think. As we spend all day in underwear I suppose

I don't wear undies to bed, I let it all breathe. I think it's more comfortable not wearing them aswell

I wear underwear to bed but nothing else. I tend to get too hot so don't like to wear pyjamas. But I'm also up in the night with dc2 and sometimes dc1 so it's nice to have something on! I also need to sleep in a bra so I have something to tuck my breastpads into and also because I'm more comfy in a bra (32FF).

If I have nothing on my bottom half I wear comfy underwear. I just prefer to. I've not encountered any problems from not letting my bits breathe.

I always wear pants, just how I was brought up. If you have your period surely you need pants on as you aren’t meant to use a tampon overnight.

I only wear pants for bed when I'm on my period in case of leaks etc. When I changed pills a couple of years ago I had a very persistent episode of thrush, GP said it's a bad idea to wear underwear over night generally, as it encourages moisture and warmth which yeast and bacteria love, sorry TMI!

Of course you can use a tampon overnight. I have to use super plus ones, along with a super plus sanitary towel or I would flood the bed.

I sometimes wear underwear to bed. I don't buy this letting it all breathe bollocks. If I want to wear undies I just do. Never a problem.

I wear nothing in bed - maybe a t shirt if it's chilly but definitely not underwear. Why would you?

"Do you wear underwear to bed?"

No.Why would I? I don't want thrush, and I don't have big boobs.

I just wear a long t-shirt to bed and nothing else, I think in bed is the time we should allow our parts to breathe 🤓

I only wear knickers if I wear a nightie to bed as I like to feel like I'm "tucked away" if you like. If I'm wearing pyjama bottoms then no underwear.

I thought everyone wore pants to bed pre mumsnet. To me it's more hygienic and saves washing pjs every night .

Too early in the thread for poo crumbs?

"I thought everyone wore pants to bed pre mumsnet"

And I thought no-one did pre mumsnet.

I didn't wear underwear in bed but when I was with my ex he translated that as me always "wanting it" so I had to start. I m Back to not wearing any now.

Always wear pants under my PJs. Have never had thrush.

It's 'breathe' OP

LOL @butterflykisses, same here.

I don't really see how your nether regions 'breathe' more without underwear? There's not much air circulating under your pyjamas and a duvet regardless of wearing knickers or not. I always wear knickers to bed and I've only ever had thrush once, when I was pregnant. I reckon it's one of those things which doesn't really have any evidence, but it's been repeated so often that it's become accepted as truth.

It doesn't matter what everyone else wears in bed, just do what makes you feel comfortable.

I usually wear knickers. Mainly because I don’t take off the ones I’ve had on in the daytime. Why would my fanny need to ‘breathe’

There was a thread almost exactly the same as this a few months ago...
