Pajama bottoms with backside seams are unhygenic

[Fangtiger]

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.

Dumplings, the word ‘skanky’ was used twice. First by a knicker-wearer, and then as a retort from a non-knicker wearer.

I wonder if Lakeland make an airer for this?

@Feministicon

Yes, most of it. The airing is a old wives tale really and one posted suggested the thrush thing but by all means have your tantrum.

It's a tantrum to be offended by people insinuating that I'm an unhygienic skank because of a medical condition? And no, it's not just one poster who said that at all, which you'd see if you bothered to read.

Surely it's only dirty if you not showering every day and wiping sufficiently?

I have bothered to read and you are being disingenuous, no one has said wearing an incontinence pad was skanky and you know that

If you wash pyjamas every day then would you also wash sheets every day if you sleep without pyjamas ?

I always sleep in pants. I have discharge and just feel wet when I don't and its so uncomfortable.

I'm learning a lot about how gross I am from this thread. I don't wash my PJs daily, more like once every 1-2 weeks, and I don't change into clean night time knickers.

[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 [/quote]
My DM said the same!

I can't see what the drama can be about washing pjs every day or couple of days. Most people have a washing machine that does it for them!

Sleep in whatever you are comfortable with. I just don't see the point of wearing pj bottom if you are wearing knickers, and vice-versa. Unless you are camping in sub-zero temperature outside, surely you have a warm enough duvet that you don't need to layer up at night?

what did you naked sleeperers do on class trips?
what about when in hospital over night?
sleeper train?

PJs to conform

I also feel like I'm going to wet myself if I sleep without pants..... I can't sleep! Am I a massive prude who is unable to relax without a covered fanny?

1 Not at school, don't go on class trips

2 I think in hospital they give you a gown

3 Don't use sleeper trains

Meh. I prefer to sleep naked, bit as DS is in with us most nights tend to wear a t-shirt at least. On the rates occasions I wear PJ bottoms to bed I don't wear knickers because of the thrush thing, I'm depressingly prone to getting it, appears to be hormonal but I avoid anything that will make it more likely.

This thread is amazing

For what it’s worth, my friend was astounded I wore the same size pyjama bottoms as my normal clothes and that you should always go 2 or 3 sizes bigger for maximum comfort. Twas a revelation.

Still always wear knickers with them though

It might go as far back as your potty training, if we have been indoctrinated by air your fanny mums then it stands to reason.

@waterlego

If you sleep nakeed, then don't you have to wash your bedding every day?

Otherwise how is it different to not changing your pants every day?

It’s different because pants are directly touching your vulva and are right next to your arse crack. Bed sheets, not so much. (Unless you sleep in very unusual positions).

I am shocked by some posts here.

It's as if people don't wash.

I have a shower in the morning and bath at night just before bed.

I don't think that's unusual.

Hooray, someone like me exists on MN!

You shouldn't wear pants to bed. Your body needs to breathe !

If some posters are so squeamish about sheets, what do you do after sex? Are you washing sheets every time you have sex (without a condom)?

@DumplingsAndStew

Hold on *@Thewinterofdiscontent* what leakage are you going to stop with a tampon?

Natural lubrication. If you’ve got a tight thin dress on you don’t want a damp patch if you’ve been sitting down for a while.

And yes of course it’s not sensible to wear a tampon for non period use. I wear a tight dress with no underwear probably once every couple of years. So panic ye not people.

@AldiAisleofCrap

Wearing underwear under pjs is really unhygienic, surely everyone wears a clean pair of pjs every night?

I don't own enough pairs of pyjamas to be able to wear a clean pair every night. I'd run out before I had chance to wash and dry the dirty ones. None of the friends who I have shared houses/flats/hotel room with have worn a clean pair every night either.

I saw this thread this morning, I can’t believe it’s still going! Mumsnet is fucking nuts xD

Another gross person here! I do occasionally shower in the evening and will then put clean knickers on for the night, but otherwise the daytime knickers stay on.
