Pajama bottoms with backside seams are unhygenic

Am I the only person who has a problem with the backside seam on pajama bottoms? The seam goes up my bum so I end up wearing night time knickers underneath to stop that happening and to stop having to wash my pjs every day. Do pj bottoms without a backside seam exist? Someone told me M&S had some, but can't find them.

I'm stunned that people wear pj's more than once without washing them shock honestly didn't realise this was even a thing!

I honestly didn't realise it was a thing to wash pjs after every wear - who has dozens of pjs?? We wear pants underneath so we don't have to wash the pjs. It's the same as washing towels after every use - you use them to dry the body you have just washed, why do people then need to wash the towels?? Really, people wash things far too much these days, it's just ridiculous, some people have gone totally overboard.

@iwantmyownicecreamvan

Due to the shape of a human, it's impossible to make trousers without a crotch seam. Unless you have harem pants with loads of low slung draped fabric.

Or a gusset.

If the seam is going up your arse, they're too small.

No they aren't - they are virtually falling off when I'm not in bed because they're a bit too big, but when in bed when I wriggle about they ride up and up. If it was as easy as getting a bigger size I would have sorted it out years ago.

This. I scooch and wriggle- pyjamas bottoms don't move with me due to friction between them and the bedsheet and it goes places it ought not. I wear nightdresses or just pyjama tops or pants with pyjama bottoms.

Bet they don't make them with gussets due to the extra material.

[quote MandosHatHair]@SkeletorAttack my DM always said it's bad for you to wear pants at night as you've 'got to let your fanny breathe' lord knows WTF that means but I now cannot tolerate pants at night Grin[/quote]
We were told that too 😂

pinkbalconyrailing · 18/12/2020 20:37

but if you wear a nightie don't you have a rolled up sausage of fabric under your arms in the mornings?

Puffalicious · 18/12/2020 20:37

I thought most people were like me- sleep with just (clean) pants on and DH with just bed shorts on. My 2 teen DS are the same, just bed shorts. The idea of sleeping in pyjamas is so bizarre to me: restrictive and hot. I wear them for lounging before bed and on a weekend morning, but that's it!

NoddyMcPintsAlot · 18/12/2020 20:39

Never ever had my arse eat the seam of my Penney’s ( Primark). Treated myself to a new and expensive pair from hush and spent the whole night digging them out of my bum and my fanny. The sizing is fine but the cut of them means they keep riding up. I wear them now lounging round the house . I sometimes wear pants and pyjamas to bed sometimes just pants, sometimes just pyjamas. No rhyme or reason. Never give it a second thought. I don’t think my fanny requires airing and I wash my pyjamas every 2nd max 3rd wear.

I have a phobia of nightgowns

@PurpleDaisies

You need those arse flap ones that keep being advertised on here. I kept wondering who would ever buy them.
Those tartan ones? They are quite something aren’t they

" who has dozens of pjs??"

Guilty...

OHolyTights · 18/12/2020 20:43

Oh the good old carefree days of wearing nighties. That was Before Children. Come to think of it, it was probably the carefree wearing of nighties that got me into this Mess of Motherhood. Now I wear Iron Clad Pyjamas.

I always let mine air out overnight
On motorway journeys I do a handstand out the sunroof to give mine a blow through

Dd1 who is 11 is in love with nighties. She's not my child....dd2 sleeps in just her undies she gets too hot

dementedma · 18/12/2020 20:45

No pants under pjs. Just too constricting

Sneezein3s · 18/12/2020 20:47

I honestly thought I was coming to this thread to read everyone saying ‘who sleeps in pjs’ I thought nobody actually slept in them past age 11?!

Bloody hell airing vaginas! They aren't dusting cloths ffs

@Winterwoollies

Oh. I always wear pants with pyjamas. Is that wrong?!
So do I.

Somehow it seems a bit mucky not to.

SuePreem · 18/12/2020 20:55

haha my mum was also evangelical about fanny breathing, so we never wore knickers with our nighties. Mind you I can't wear pyjamas to bed as I get too tangled up in them.

Feministicon · 18/12/2020 20:55

What’s mucky about it? How tight are your pjs and how dirty are your vag and arses 😂😂😂😱

Feministicon · 18/12/2020 20:55

Vag’s

goldenharvest · 18/12/2020 20:57

T shirt and clean pants. Can't bear pjs as they twist round my legs. A nightie rides up and gets into lumps under me, and as for wearing no pants in bed (retch!!!) I would have to change my sheets daily
