Aibu: PJs with pants underneath at night?*

[siacolouredthesmallone]

I do, partner does, and so do the kids. However we didn't when we were kids, and my nieces don't when they come to stay. Was reading something on the NHS site about worms recently (prompted by the wildly inappropriate 'medicating-someone-else's-kid' post a few days ago - I mean the action was inappropriate, not the "thread") and it suggested wearing pants with PJs to combat thread-worms, implying that ppl don't normally??

Aibu in that we all do wear pants with nightwear as it's basic hygiene to me ?

*Not a pants-troll, but you'll either believe me or you won't....

Do you put in fresh pants after your bath/shower, put in your PJs and then just discard them the next morning?

Yes
My bits get clean pants to sleep in, and clean pants in the morning

It's more hygenic to wear a clean pair of pants each night unless you are wearing a freshly laundered pair of PJ's each night.
PJ's last two or three nights around here, pants are a daily, sometimes twice.

My fanny gets the same amount of air whether I wear pants under pyjamas or not 🤷🏻‍♀️

And I only get thrush with a certain type of antibiotics

I do wear knickers under my PJs but I don’t see an issue with people who don’t, although I’d expect them to change their pjs more frequently than I do. It’s just personal preference - personally I don’t feel warm or comfortable if I’m not wearing underwear but I can see how someone else might say they feel hot or clammy in underwear. There’s no right or wrong!

@Actual aww...I totally get that, and my tot has said similar

I always wear pants under PJs and have some bigger comfy (cotton) pants specifically for nighttime wear.

Oh yes, fair point, I change my pants at night. So a two week holiday would require 24 pairs of pants

Not unless I’m not on my period

*28 pairs even lol

Definitely a pants under pjs family!

Surely bits of fluid etc leak out and then would transfer to the sheets...
Pants all the way for me( I do not wear PJs ever-Pants, shorts and a vest for me!
I would feel weird and all" hanging out" without my pants on!

I’m intrigued by the idea of ‘airing’ one’s nethers; do you all sleep in stirrups with your legs akimbo?

Me and DH don't wear anything in bed. Kids are a mixture of pants only or pants under PJs (have 4 kids). Each to their own!

Am realising from this thread that I'm just a domestic slattern, as I cba to wash either pyjamas or double pairs of pants every day. Nighties are low maintenance, and nakedness even more so.

I always do, otherwise the seams in my jammies hurt me
I agree with this.

@siacolouredthesmallone

That's a new one ...

I think it would rather destroy any "mood" surely getting through all that armour?

I wear a nightie - as do my DDs , and certainly no pants. I like to feel free and comfortable in bed. DH is naked.

You don't have to wash extra pants though. Just keep the same pants on from the day. Shower in morning. On with your pants! Keep pants on throughout changes of other garments. Pull up and down as needed . Eventually lie down to sleep, still in lovely comfy pants, with PJs on top of temperature requires. Remove in morning just before next shower.

This is where the term 'letting it breathe' comes from. This ^ is not healthy. If you never took a sock off except when you were bathing, your foot would eventually get something wrong with it. Same with bits. They need air sometimes.

I wear a nightie to sleep in, no knickers.
I wear lounge wear/PJ's around the house, no knickers then either.
I don't change them or my sheets daily as my bits aren't that dirty 🤷 I ain't Niagara falls and anything that comes into contact doesn't need to be burnt immediately.

I always wonder about the letting it breathe thing that people come up with.. like it has its own little respiratory system or something. I always wear pants as whatever has had direct contact with my bare bottom and vag through the night will be getting washed afterwards and pants take up a lot less space than pj's in the machine

I'm a pants on person. I can see your argument if you wear nothing in bed but if you wear pyjama bottoms without pants underneath you surely have to change them daily so I'd imagine that's where the extra washing is coming from?

Although if you wear nothing at all surely the bedding needs washed more often which is even more space consuming and Labour intensive

I am guilty of fresh Pj's or a fresh night dress every night.

Wouldn't it be damp and crusty. I could never wear underwear for that long.
On at 7am off by 9pm max or replaced with a fresh pair.

We always wore pants under pjs. Feels weird and gross not to personally.

That's how I get thrush.

I find pyjamas really uncomfortable without pants underneath and if I didn't wear pants underneath I'd have to wear fresh pyjamas every night.

I put fresh pants on every night and every morning as well.

Really don't understand this air your nether regions. How is putting on a pair of pants any less airy than just a pair of pyjama bottoms.

And how do you get air there anyway? Do you sleep with your legs akimbo and without covers?
