Going to bed with socks on (lighthearted)

DH says I'm weird and unhygienic for wearing socks in bed. Apparently no one else does it. Am I the odd one out?

Apparently there are no hygiene issues wearing the same boxers in bed that he has worn all day! Envy

My husband started coming to bed with socks on. He'd even pull them up smartly before getting in.

I started putting hot water bottles at the foot of the bed about 20 mins before we get in. Toasty.

I use my feet to regulate my body temperature so socks are on and off throughout the day. Always put my toasties on just as I am going to bed and take them off almost instantly

My work colleague said that women who wear socks to bed experience more orgasms!
DH used to tell DS that his feet would fall off if he wore socks to bed.
I love wearing socks to bed if it’s cold!

I've gone to sleep in bed wearing socks many, many times.

Never woke up in the morning with 'em on though Grin

Nice cosy clean socks - not sexy but warm!

Gertie75 · 09/10/2020 21:32

I used to until the menopause night sweats arrived.

Bargebill19 · 09/10/2020 21:32

Bed socks. They are a thing of luxury and have been around for donkeys years.
You Dh is a Neanderthal. 🤣

Lurkingforawhile · 09/10/2020 21:33

Has anyone got a good recommendation for warm soft fluffy socks? M&S don't have good ones this year

Did they have a side hustle in BargainSocksULike by any chance?

FatFace make really cosy ones.

Always wear socks to bed, I have several pairs of bed socks. In the winter I sleep in a dressing gown too, I’m always cold!

seayork2020 · 09/10/2020 21:40

I used to wear bed socks but moved somewhere warm so not anymore, separate ones to day ones

notapigeon · 09/10/2020 21:41

I have socks specifically for bed 🙈 they're extra fluffy and a godsend in winter!

Thankfully my DH doesn't complain, as the alternative was me putting my ice block feet on his shins to warm up 😁

QueenOllie · 09/10/2020 21:42

Can't sleep without socks on. My feet are like blocks of ice

MeMeMeYou · 09/10/2020 21:42

I wear socks in bed prob Oct to April. I need to be warm and I can’t sleep without them!

Dinosauraddict · 09/10/2020 21:43

No no no no no no no no. My DH sometimes tries to wear socks to bed. I cannot stand it. It makes me cringe. I will literally go to the furthest point in the bed to avoid touching him if he's wearing socks. I can't even explain it. Have no problem with him wearing socks in the day, but never, ever, in bed. Luckily, after a decade, he has pretty much accepted this. Although he still moans.

Itsabeautifuldayheyhey · 09/10/2020 21:44

I put clean pants and socks on for bed.

Pants in bed????
No. You should be naked except for your socks. Grin

Oysterbabe · 09/10/2020 21:46

I can't sleep with socks on. Even when I've passed out, blackout drunk I'll take them off.

Marshmallow91 · 09/10/2020 21:48

I just came on to say exactly what @ChasedByFox said! Grin

JonasKahnwald · 09/10/2020 21:52

I hate the feeling of bare feet. I have to wear socks, even when its boiling. Bare feet give the heave 🤮

ChasedByFox · 09/10/2020 21:53

@Gibble1. TMI but I can't actually orgasm with socks on! Confused

peboh · 09/10/2020 21:53

My dh hates me wearing socks in bed, so we compromised on a heated blanket. However when he works away during the colder months I'm back to my fluffy bed socks. I love them. I can't stand cold feet in bed haha.

MJMG2015 · 09/10/2020 22:00

Not weird & not unhygienic.

I think I'm the least regimented person on here! I don't routinely do x. Sometimes I shower before bed, sometimes I don't. If I do I sleep in my birthday suit! If I don't i sleep naked or in quite a variety of different things 🤣.

But I don't have smelly feet, so I do sometimes wear the socks I've been wearing in the day, to bed. But obviously if I've done anything sweaty I'll have a shower anyway, so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Myglorioushairdo · 09/10/2020 22:01

Bed socks. Always. Can't sleep without them.

Blossomhill123 · 09/10/2020 22:01

I’ve been experiencing cold feet this year (44) .
I have invested in some teddy socks from Dunem they are so very warm .
