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 have pyjamas and a fleece bed jumper. I really feel the cold and can’t sleep if I’m chilly.

Only low rise pyjamas cause a problem - if they sit at my natural waist, they’re fine.

@Feministicon

What’s mucky about it? How tight are your pjs and how dirty are your vag and arses 😂😂😂😱
Not tight at all and the bottom half of my torso is daisy fresh* - I didn't say it was logical. I just feel that it seems a bit mucky.

And I only have one of each (vag and arse). I have never felt the need to "air" them, and as far as I am aware have never begun to suffocate from lack of oxygen to my nethers.

*as is the top half

This thread is a dream for the hairy of hand.

Another pj non-knicker wearer here FWIW.

It's Hairy Handed Bingo!

Feministicon · 18/12/2020 21:04

Who cares really @OHolyTights, I’d feel sorry for them if shitty arses rubbing on seams gets them going.

Mum2jenny · 18/12/2020 21:05

Sleep naked. It avoids all such problems.

Feministicon · 18/12/2020 21:05

It wasn’t just addressed to you @SchadenfreudePersonified, hence the plural.. You aren’t the only poster that said it’s dirty/mucky not to wear underwear.

@Sneezein3s

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?!
If you don't sleep in them the sheets are all cold when you get in at this time of year.
Arthersleep · 18/12/2020 21:07

I think that wearing any pyjamas without underwear on underneath is skanky. I wouldn't go commando during the day in a pair of jeans. And I certainly wouldn't wear that pair of jeans for several days in a row, as people tend to with pyjamas! A clean pair of pants in the morning and a nice clean big comfy cotton pair under your pyjamas at night time.

OHolyTights · 18/12/2020 21:09

sheets are all cold

Try good old flannelette/brushed cotton and a hot water bottle/electric blanket/send someone else in first.

Feministicon · 18/12/2020 21:10

Going commando in jeans would be uncomfortable and would rub, pjs not so much.

Feministicon · 18/12/2020 21:10

I sleep naked anyway, bet that’s even more gross rubbing all over the sheets 😂😂

Arthersleep · 18/12/2020 21:12

It is true that you do need to let your fanny breathe so as to avoid fungal infections. But a pair of cotton or bamboo undies will allow that to happen. Just not synthetic.

Had you failed to notice that all the clothes retailers and supermarkets stock lots of PJs in adult sizes? 😆

pinkdragons · 18/12/2020 21:13

I've had a lot of EWCM in my time - but never enough to be down my leg! What?!

Perhaps not 😂 but anything that would have been in the pants.. wouldn't be

dementedma · 18/12/2020 21:14

Do people really wear clean pjs every night? I dont own that many pairs. If our family did that, there would be 35 pairs of pjs to launder every week. Thats insane!

JinglingHellsBells · 18/12/2020 21:16

@goldenharvest

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
Really? what on earth's going on ?
OHolyTights · 18/12/2020 21:17

Those flitting about naked and decrying PJs obviously do not live in draughty, freezing cold houses and have to get up in the night with various DCs and animals and weak bladders.

HerLadySheep · 18/12/2020 21:19

Well I am stunned at all these people wearing clothes in bed! 😳 I didn't realise anyone older than about 12 wore anything in bed, but turns out there are loads of you!

@RMRM

Omg, my mum was obsessed with our fannies being allowed to breathe as well. It must have been th received wisdom of the time. I always wear pants, my poor fanny is always gasping.
OMG I’m pissing myself laughing here.

Commando ALL THE WAY, ladies.
My sister wear pjs and pants every night - her OH has been trying (without any luck) his best to rectify this situation for the past 10 years...

YesPleaseMary · 18/12/2020 21:25

I have to sleep in pyjamas with a seam but no knickers in case my fanny and bum try to seal up whilst I’m airing them in my sleep.
