To wash pyjamas after each wear?

I wash my pyjamas after every wear, however this leads to LOADS of laundry every week… I’m wondering if I can cut down by wearing my pjs longer? They don’t smell but I’m not sure if this would be gross through, like I don’t wear knickers under them … So is it the same territory as rewearing dirty pants??🤔
How often do you wash your pyjamas? Like what is the normal pyjama etiquette? Would I be a complete tramp to put back on my dirty pjs?
Am I being unreasonable?

Wow so much laundry! All these knicker wearers - are they fresh knickers every night or the same ones for 24 hrs?
op I am a very loose pyjama or nightie wearer - no knickers - and I wear them 2-3 days
Surely they must be fresh ones for the night
I have the same pyjama habits as you, though! 
much prefer a nightie

Mumsnet = I only wear anything once before washing, change sheets weekly and wash my towels daily! Everything else is disgusting
Also mumsnet = my bills are skyrocketing, the environment is going to pot and I have too much washing and never get a break.
OP I wear my pyjamas for a week unless they get dirty and need it before then or there's a change in temperature so want different ones.
This.
The hygiene anxiety on Mumsnet is out of this world. Could be the end of this world.

Wash them when they need it. Not before. I can go a week sometimes in
In the winter. (Sorry the button was right above my keyboard and typing isn't the easiest for me).
If you sweat a lot then yeah change them more regularly.

I never understand why people don’t wear knickers to bed due to ‘airing’. How much air are your bits going to get trapped under a thick duvet?
A pair of cotton knickers isn’t going to make the slight bit of difference to ‘airing’
Yeah that's confused me too.
Where is the air flow?

I usually wear knickers with pjs as I find the seams on pj bottoms can rub! I wear them for a few nights, but it varies, depending how hot I've got in the night, if I've spilt breakfast or toothpaste on them etc.
I think I'd wear for a few nights even without knickers though, it doesn't seem the same as walking around in clothes during the day.

Yep!
