To wear knickers to bed?

I always feel exposed if I don’t, but dh says that I’m insulating myself from the world and also that it’s more hygienic. Thoughts? I assumed most people wear knickers to bed...

Yes I know what you mean. Don’t feel right without them on

PenCreed · 16/08/2019 22:37

Surely it's just down to what you prefer? Also I'd have thought that the duvet was doing more insulating than your knickers - what does he think the world is going to be trying to do whilst you're asleep?

I do but my in laws find it weird Confused

Mammyloveswine · 16/08/2019 22:38

I sleep starkers!

Wear what you want to bed.

Stark naked to a full wookie costume

I feel cleaner wearing knickers to bed, I don't really understand his comment about insulating yourself from the world.

Thehop · 16/08/2019 22:39

I like pants

Stravapalava · 16/08/2019 22:39

I do and my DM thinks it's weird. I feel "dirty" with my fanjo in contact with my pyjama bottoms / exposed to the wind!

Pardonwhat · 16/08/2019 22:40

Let them breath.

Cherrysoup · 16/08/2019 22:40

How the heck do they know what you wear in bed?! TMI!

I wear knickers, isn't it a bit more hygienic?

Backtothenewme · 16/08/2019 22:41

Fanjo exposed to the wind😂😂

Redglitter · 16/08/2019 22:42

Ugh I couldn't imagine not wearing knickers

WWlOOlWW · 16/08/2019 22:43

Nowt here.

AmIRightOrAMeringue · 16/08/2019 22:43

I think its healthier (less likely to get thrush etc) if you dont wear anything

Chocolate35 · 16/08/2019 22:43

I wear knickers to bed. If it’s really hot I don’t wear anything else, but always knickers. Plus, and I know this is a bit rank, what about discharge? Ewwwww 🙈😂

I find it weird that your inlaws know whether you wear knickers in bed Grin Grin

pigsDOfly · 16/08/2019 22:47

I never used to wear anything in bed but as I've got older I feel the cold more and unless it's very hot I wear pyjamas and always wear knickers under them.

If I didn't I'd have to change my pyjamas every night rather than wearing them a few times.

How on earth do your in-laws know that you wear knickers in bed?

OnlyaMan · 16/08/2019 22:48

A million years ago, when I was a young man, a girlfriend of mine said that "she felt silly" when she went to bed (on her own) naked. She needed to wear knickers (panties).
I still do not know why.

aLilNonnyMouse · 16/08/2019 22:49

I find it I don't let things "air out" down there overnight I get thrush more often. I feel cleaner not wearing them.

I guess it depends on how much discharge you have though, I have fairly little.

IfIShouldFallFromGraceWithGod · 16/08/2019 22:49

Nooo. It needs an airing

22Giraffes · 16/08/2019 22:50

I do, would feel really weird without them. I also have to have some kind of cover, even when we had that 30+ heat last month I slept under a sheet!

Apolloanddaphne · 16/08/2019 22:50

I have never worn pants in bed. Both my DDs do. They are in their 20s. I am in my 50s maybe it is an age thing?

Waiting1987 · 16/08/2019 22:50

Always wear pants to bed.

RoseMartha · 16/08/2019 22:50

I wear knickers to bed. Always have done.
