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.

My growler refuses to be contained at night, knickers are the enemy and he prefers the open air 😂

If that’s the case you should surely not use bed linen and always sleep on your back with your legs wide open!

I am so glad about the way this thread has gone - from people who apparently are so static in bed that the only possible explanation for a seam-in-bumcrack experience must be too-small pyjamas, to those needing to free the growler!

Fully in the latter camp. Naked sleeper. And I don't even wash my sheets that often!!!!!

I’m completely confused.

Surely if your bits need to breathe, then suffocating them with pyjamas is as bad as wearing knickers? Particularly as the in-breath appears to suck the pyjama seam up?

And is this phenomenon related to the bath water-swallowing-fanny phenomenon? Is there a relationship between nocturnal fanny asphyxiation and the whoosh?

Apparently our knickers and pyjamas are full of faecal particles from farts, for that reason alone I would always pyjamas at least, to save the sheets.

This thread 😂😂😂

Just got out of the bath to put my comfy pyjamas on

I thought wait I've got to go and get my knickers!!

I did as well
So I now downstairs all comfortable in my pjs complete with me underwear 😍

I can't wear underwear under pyjamas unless it is the time of the month.
I didn't as a DC my DC don't pyjamas are washed after every wear.
If I grew up wearing knickers under pjs I'd probably do it now.

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

That is really quite horrid.

Oh do get over yourself dear. It is not "horrid" at all. Honestly the competitive cleanliness on MN is mindblowing.

Ok but we are also covered in bacteria, shit from other minuscule living beings and crap generally. As long as you curtail the toxic, grubby is fine.

It’s why children from farming backgrounds don’t get asthma, Too clean isn’t good for you.

I wouldn't say horrid but definitely sticky with a stale vag aroma.

It’s the fact you have two layers (one fairly tight) plus a duvet over your rejuvenating fanjo that’s the issue. Sleep is the only chance cells get to renew. A sweaty layering isn’t any help.

So women who routinely wear knickers to bed have less renewed vagines? How does one measure the rejuvenation of fanny cells?

Am totally at the posters who have clean pjs every day. That's a serious amount of laundry and a waste of water and power. Probably washed on hot at well.

These threads are insane. Who even wears pants to bed on purpose to protect their pyjamas? The same people that think driving 80 on the motorway is heinous and smoking weed every day makes you a druggy. Do you wear panty liners all month too?

I've never heard of wearing underwear under pjs or a nightdress

OMG ! I’ve suddenly realised how everyone likes staying in their pyjamas all day. Because the fact you are wearing underwear makes you think they are actually clothes.

IcedPurple Feet, face, back, hands, legs, even tits get a bit of fresh air. Why are fannies forced to remain inside cotton for a lifetime?

But unless you sleep with no bed linen, with your legs akimbo like when having a gynacological exam, your fanny isn't really going to get much by way of 'fresh air' is it? Knickers or no knickers.

Er, no. Bare bottoms aren’t a pretty-requisite for pyjamas. I like that pants keep my pyjamas fresh so I don’t have to go through 7 pairs per week.

Not afraid to make assumptions, eh? 😆

The advice is to wear cotton as much as possible or sleep naked.

All fannies are different.

Or... maybe people have MULTIPLE pairs of pyjamas

Unless you sleep in a vacuum sealed sleeping bag, there's air under the duvet. I sleep on my side, one leg straight down, one leg up, bent at the knee. My fanny gets a lovely airing out overnight. If DH is away I sleep like a starfish which is even better for night time breezes!

They may well have multiple pairs. Am sure they do. Would have to. There are 5 people in our house. I'm not washing 35 pairs of pyjamas a week. We have enough laundry as it is.

Yet another MN thing. Like towels (frequency of washing) or toilet brushes (gross or essential) or bathroom bins (inconsiderate not to or unhygienic).

It's perfectly possible to be clean without cleaning things every time they are touched or used once.

I am someone who wears a fresh pair of PJ trousers every night (because I don’t wear underwear with them). I do not wash multiple pairs of PJs a week. As far as I can see, I’m the only person in my house of 4 who wears different PJ bottoms every night. I have around 15 pairs, so washing these doesn’t add hugely to my washing load, especially as I have an 11kg washing machine. I could wear every pair over two weeks, put them all in the wash together and still have plenty of space in the machine for other items. I wash them at 30 degrees, which is the temp at which I wash most items. I don’t think this is an ‘MN’ thing. It’s just what I do 🤷🏼‍♀️

I change towels and bed sheets weekly, for the record.

I just bought pants from John Lewis, and they have a seam up the back 😱. Grr.
