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.

Who wears knickers amd pjs to bed!! Let your fanny breathe!!! 🤮

And start wiping your arsehole more efficiently !!

Seriously, it’s not a seperate entity, it’s not a little living being. 😂

It doesn’t need to “breathe” any more than your thigh or arse does. Cos you know, it’s just a part of your body.

I don’t think she really means breathe; after all it doesn’t have its own set of lungs! I think she means aired but I’m not sure anything gets really aired if under a duvet. I have started wearing pants under pyjamas which I can change nightly whilst making the pyjamas last 2, sometimes 3, days.

But generally a t-shirt isnt smelly or dirty after a day.

You are a cleaner woman than me then!
I am very active, sweat a lot, I need a new t shirt after my morning work out too, so usually 2 t shirts a day.

Fair enough.

I run first thing so will shower after and then into clean clothes after that. My work and home life are pretty sedentary.

On a weekend we may have a long walk. If we take the hilly route then I'll get sweaty or jeans may get muddy, so I'll make sure to wear something for that that I know will be due a wash anyway.

I have a shelf in the wardrobe for clothes that have been worn but are still ok to wear again.

I would definitely get thrush if I wore knickers to bed so I totally get the fanny needing to "breath" school of thought.

It doesn’t need aired either, and you can’t do that under a duvet. Give it a wash, and it’s all good 😂

I always wear knickers under my PJs. Loose fitting french knickers. Otherwise you’d have to wash the PJ trousers after every wear?

I wear the same pjs for a week. And always with underwear which is changed daily but by reading this thread I sounds like I need to wash my pjs more 😳

@Feministicon

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.

Oh - sorry!

(It's all about MEEEEeeeeeEEEEEeeeee! )

Having your neithers encased in underwear 24/7 can’t be healthy.

My nether stake a quick gasp of air when I go to the lavvy.

*nethers take

@OHolyTights

I wonder if Lakeland make an airer for this?

I am very active, sweat a lot

So you aren't Prince Andrew here incognito, Speakout?

Are there people who don’t wear knickers at night? 😮 I either wear PJ’s with knickers or am totally nude.

I'm beginning to wonder if my fanny is in the wrong place tbh. This thread has got me really thinking. If I wear no pants and lie in bed, my fanny still isn't exposed and able to breathe. My legs cover it - maybe it should have been placed elsewhere?

I know! All this talk of getting your bits 'aired' at night puts me in mind of a full pelvic exam. If you're sleeping on your side, legs together, covered by a duvet, then surely your fanny isn't getting 'aired' whether or not you're wearing knickers?

@speakout

do wonder whether some people smell or think they smell or are more bothered by a smell than others. I consider one day old Pjs to still smell and feel fairly cleanish eg still smells like laundry powder, still feel crisp from drying

Would you wear the same t shirt for a few days?

Yes but not in a row. Might wear a t shirt on Monday, (over a vest top in winter) leave it to air then wear it again on Thursday. Sometimes I'll then wear the same tshirt (which I do recognise needs a clean at this point) to go dog walking at the weekend and then stick it in the wash.

I sniff test on the second day of wearing but again it usually smells of washing powder.
Inferestingly my dad can go a week without showering and doesn't have a smell whereas my OH needs to wash clothes after every wear. I can only assume I take after my dad!

Well whatever goes against your bare bum needs washed after each wear - be that pants or pyjamas, jeans, joggers - pants are there to negate the need for washing each time. If you don't wear them then you need to wash the clothing! 
Clothes I get as you're walking in the pants and pulling them back up after a wee/poo etc.

But I go to bed clean. The sheets don't get in my crack (front or back)

There's only skin touching them.

That's all well and good if you lie, unmoving, all night. Most people turn, roll, sit up sometimes, get covers tucked between legs etc. Personally anyway I find it all gets a bit sweaty without a pair of cotton underwear. I'm slim but there's definitely no thigh gap so the skin on skin situ causes sweatiness that I find uncomfortable. Wearing cotton underwear solves this. I'd be more likely to get thrush without them.

Most nights I'm wearing the same pair of knickers day and night

That is really quite horrid.

These sort of threads really make me wonder about all the different variations there are in terms of what people consider hygienic. To my mind unhygienic leads to pathology so in this context it would be behaviours that increase the risk of UTIs and fungal infections.
As everything on this bizarre thread seems mostly to be conjecture then I really don’t imagine that any of the hard firm beliefs on here relate to anything more than personal preference.

All those who say they always wear pants/PJs/both in bed: sorry to have to ask but (whispers) what about sex? Do you put them on, take them off, put them on again? I couldn't be bothered with all that tbh... (sorry if TMI)

So this is outing a bit of a kink of mine.

But I often request DH to put on clean pants for bed if I'm in "the mood" He has some particular white Calvin Kleins I bought for the occasion. Turns me on something crazy.

Of course the underwear ends up being removed a few minutes later. But they were very worth the investment.

I don't sleep naked after sex though, that's the time the bedsheets could suffer. I'll put on PJs or comfy pants after then they 100% get washed the next day. (We don't use condoms)

Honestly this thread is fabulous... I now have an image of my fanny gulping in air (like a fish out of water does) when I remove my knickers!!!

@Bluntness100 of course it does. Your thigh isn't prone to bacterial infection if it is constantly suffocated , is it
