Knickers under pyjamas yay or nay

[AMBOG]

Discussion with friends. Very heated disagreement. Unreasonable wearing knickers . Reasonable not wearing knickers

I’m a nudey sleeper and never had a fanny problem either.

This is MN, they prob burn them.

why would they be crusty 😳

No, it does not.

There seems to be an awful lot of fear of one’s own bodily fluids from some people on this thread… 🤔

No fanny fungus here wearing me big knicks.

And yet here we are, functioning perfectly well, with nary a sign of thrush.

Also, do these bacteria and fungi only proliferate at night time? Are your nether regions permanently chilly during the day?

eeek, washing pjs every day!

I’ve had thrush a handful of times in my life and I wear knickers in bed every night. My bits aren’t sweaty and don’t need airing.

Shortie PJs - no.
Long PJs - yes. Take PJ bottoms off before bed and sleep in knickers. Can't stand sleeping in long PJs.
Never had thrush. Or a water infection.

😱 no way. Either with knickers (that are changed daily) or pjs only (that go in the laundry right after sleeping)

And then leave said pjs hanging around ready to continue growth the next night (and the next and however many nights until you change your pjs) too.

But when you sleep, you move around. If you wear pjs you will invariably have fabric bunched up around your vulva. Especially if you are a side sleeper or fetal position. There is no ‘airflow’ in the way you describe it unless you are disciplined enough lie asleep on your back for 8 hours with legs akimbo.

Nah I’m not buying it. If your fanny is overheating then a single pair of loose thin cotton pants would be better than pjs.

Team no knickers!!! always air your bits!!

I don’t wear anything at home, just knickers when I’m on. I’ll wear pjs with no knickers if staying with a friend or it’s really cold.

Not even a little bit.

Not really. Isn’t your butt pressed against the fabric of your pyjamas and also pressed against the bedlinen and the mattress? It doesn’t matter how loose the pjs are when you are lying on top of them. I think I will need a diagram showing how this big free space between the butt, the pjs and the duvet is achieved showing all the air flowing around.

In all seriousness though, the airing out sounds a bit ridiculous and the reality is it’s just a cultural thing.

Particularly at night… right?

Where is the laughing emoji when you need it the most 🤣🤣

I was taught in sex education in school about 15 years ago to not wear underwear as you need to let the area breathe.

This was like PSHE where they discussed puberty and stuff too.

Ever since then I’ve always tried not to wear underwear in bed.

Nah. The bed clothes are too close to allow any air flow.

Nightdress or big t shirt, no knicks, change twice a week.

I'm very curious re hols and people who only wear nightwear once. Do they spend their holiday washing?

I'm so confused that this is even a thing - it's just like the wiping standing up or sitting down divide!

Team no knickers, let it breathe/air! And PJs are loose, what are people getting all over theirs?!?

Although I also hate things round my legs, so if anything it's loose boxers/french knickers.

Although in reality I mostly go for either naked or a long T-shirt, so neither really applicable.

I wear knickers under pyjamas.
I actually don't believe that all the posters who don't wear knickers are being truthful when they say they change their pyjamas every day instead.

Not going to manage a diagram, but no, your fanjo is not jam-pressed against the mattress unless you sleep while doing the splits.

Wear a nightgown?
