Why?

Of course, that would have been kurtains... which is even weirder

Never has anyone suggested to me that my fanjo needs airing. I wouldnt get aired much in bed i dont reckon, and im not one for naked dancing in the garden of an evening.

FabulousTomatoes · 25/08/2018 22:26

There’s nowt better than a clean pair of cotton undies after a bedtime shower or bath. I’m in the undies camp. Without a pair of knicks on at night I feel sweaty and itchy.

ReanimatedSGB · 25/08/2018 22:27

Nope. I used to when on the blob for sanpro reasons but otherwise, no - if I do, I get thrush.

FabulousTomatoes · 25/08/2018 22:27

Also I don’t particularly revel in the idea of lying in genital-soaked sheets.

QueenOfThorns · 25/08/2018 22:39

I definitely didn’t as a child, but now I always put a clean pair of cotton pants on before bed. If I’m wearing a nightie, it tends to ride up around my waist in the night and I get a chilly bum otherwise. If I wear pyjamas, the crotch seam gives me thrush.

I even wear pants when it’s too hot to wear anything else as if I don’t I get dreams about being naked in inappropriate places, like work! I have no idea why my subconscious isn’t troubled about my top half, but I don’t get topless dreams Wink

When you have kids it’s easier...if you have to get up unexpectedly 😊

PussGirl · 25/08/2018 22:51

I am usually naked in bed overnight, although often wear knickers to go to bed with my OH, which he enjoys removing as part of foreplay.

Sorry if TMI Grin

sophiesellermen Yes wearing nothing but a tampon at night while on your period must be great. Sadly not an option for everyone, I nearly died of toxic shock syndrome so tampons are out unfortunately. And I've yet to see a tampon that would cope with the horrendousness of my period at the moment.

Sparrowlegs248 · 26/08/2018 00:08

@SeptimusQuench thank you. Its been bloody (no pun intended) awful.

Queenofthedrivensnow · 26/08/2018 00:14

Cotton pants in bed - different to what I wear in the day. Women's bodies leak frequently. Don't want that on the sheets thanks. Boak. I

Aeroflotgirl · 26/08/2018 00:18

Because I want to, I feel uncomfortable without them.

Aeroflotgirl · 26/08/2018 00:20

due to hygiene reasons too, and I would need to change my pyjama bottoms everyday, as they have a habit of creeping up my bum in sleep.

firehousedog1 · 26/08/2018 00:20

I wear nothing in bed except after sex or during period. I just feel uncomfortable wearing any sort of clothing to sleep in.

MiddleClassProblem · 26/08/2018 01:08

What do you put on after sex?

I would shower after. Not in a scrubbing the sin away kind of way... I promise...

Charolais · 26/08/2018 04:52

I’ve seen British films/programs where the women are wearing their knickers in bed AND also a BRA!

Wearing your drawers in bed is horrible enough but a bra - in bed - why?

I wear very baggy thin material PJ bottoms. I buy the largest size in the store and as long as the waist can be tied or is elastic they work great. I used to wear nighties but when they rode up and my bum was exposed my husband thought that was a signal I was wanting to mate.

PrivateDoor · 26/08/2018 05:56

I wear knickers, sports bra and jammies as that is how I am comfortable.In winter I often wear a hoody too, I always feel the cold Sad

labazs · 26/08/2018 17:29

nightie no knicks like to let a bit of fresh air to it mind wish dp would wear pants sometimes changed bed the other day next day the sheet had skid marks all over it had to strip the bed again yukky

DagenhamRoundhouse · 26/08/2018 17:41

Not hygienic. And you need to let the air get to your nethers.

LeftRightCentre · 26/08/2018 17:44

How is it no hygienic to wear knickers in bed? How does air get to your nethers in bed unless you sleep with no covers at all and your legs akimbo?

Branleuse · 26/08/2018 17:46

Since when are fresh clean cotton knickers unhygenic?

SarfE4sticated · 26/08/2018 18:03

Charolais I think they wear full bra and pants in films to preserve the actors modesty. No-one would wear full lingerie IRL.

FaveNumberIs2 · 26/08/2018 18:16

@frouby Minge breath ?!
🤣🤣🤣

MiddleClassProblem · 26/08/2018 18:18

I’m going to invent a minge snorkel to sell to the pants wearers 💷💷💷

Frouby · 26/08/2018 18:24

@favenumberis2 yeah, minge breath.

Its not quite wet, but not quite dry. Sort of breathy. I sleep with one leg over something. Either the pillow or the quilt.

And my minge breathes. It must do as everyone says it should have air to it. So I dont want minge breath on my bedding. Better in a pair of knickers that can go in the wash.
