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

If you aren't prone to thrusting then it makes no difference.

🤣🤣🤣🙈

So wierd I’ve always worn pants, I’ve got adhd and I’m very sensory affected lol. It feels horrific to me to not wear pants, I have tried before in the summer.. all my friends are no pants though so it seems to be the normal thing is none 😂

Aliflowers · 22/11/2025 21:33

Knickers. But then I don’t wear my pjs to bed. I sleep naked so I just wear them after me shower or in the morning before I dress. Wear them so I don’t need to change pjs daily

TidyCyan · 22/11/2025 21:35

Nothing at all on bottom half. Haven't been able to stand a waistband in my sleep since I was pregnant. Nightie is perfect.

Eastofnowhere · 22/11/2025 21:35

Knickers instead of pyjamas here. I get told hot in pjs, so it's knickers and a vest top.

CantBreathe90 · 22/11/2025 21:35

What would be the purpose of wearing knickers to bed?! Unless they're sexy ones?

pizzaHeart · 22/11/2025 21:36

Yes to knickers, always.

JaceLancs · 22/11/2025 21:36

Neither
If I do wear nightwear when it’s chilly - it would be a nightie or nightshirt and no underwear

AleaEim · 22/11/2025 21:36

why would you change your pjs every night just because you didn’t wear underwear? I never wear underwear to bed unless on period, so so uncomfortable. Wear loose pjs and nothing will ride up.

happysunr1se · 22/11/2025 21:37

For all those people sleeping naked, at this time of year do you have the heating on over night? My heating is set to go off at 11pm and comes back on at 6am. If I slept naked I'd be cold.

And I always have to have my feet covered because otherwise the foot fairy might get me. If I wore no pants I'd be worried the fanny fairy might come a visiting

You will be shocked to know my very dirty friends don’t wear knickers and only change their pyjamas once a week!!!

Ewwwwww 🤢

I am team undercrackers… but I wear PJs but only the top half for bed .
Still mooch about in clean Pjs daily but remove the bottom half in bed . Top half is fine if it’s t shirt style .. fleece or something similar, no way.
I am complicated. She is me 🙃

I'm not cold and I don't have the heating on overnight. But I do have a big down duvet and several heavy blankets on.

KickHimInTheCrotch · 22/11/2025 21:40

I hate knickers. Definitely no knickers at night, ideally no knickers at any time.

LaterRon · 22/11/2025 21:40

Always knickers. And clean ones, not the ones worn all day!

Renamed · 22/11/2025 21:41

Lately I have seen quite a few women going about in tight gym leggings or those bummy shorts with obviously nothing underneath … wonder if they go home and don knickers for bed time

hamsterchump · 22/11/2025 21:42

I wear boys boxer shorts (well they're not any boy's, they're mine I bought them for me from M&S but you see what I mean) in bed with a vest or crop top, a new pair every night. The stretchy, cotton boxer briefs designed for men or boys are so comfortable, so much more comfortable than any pyjama shorts because they don't have a central seam and because they're shorts they don't ride up or cut in like knickers can. Plus no VAT on children's clothes means they're cheap.

RogueFemale · 22/11/2025 21:42

@AMBOG I'm in team no knickers. I've never worn knickers in bed!

Well, I wear a t shirt and nothing else but yeah, big duvet and blanket on stand by.

Mamabearandcubs · 22/11/2025 21:42

Team no knickers

ArtesianWater · 22/11/2025 21:43

Here to tell you that I also wear a bra under my PJs.

PluckyChancer · 22/11/2025 21:43

No knickers and no PJ’s.

RubyMentor · 22/11/2025 21:43

I sleep naked so neither

HessianSack · 22/11/2025 21:43

BurntBroccoli · 22/11/2025 21:20

I wear my pj bottoms until I actually get into bed then just wear a vest or T shirt and knickers to sleep in. I hate having anything on my legs.

Exactly this for me. I can’t believe how many people actually sleep in full PJs. I’d be way too hot.

Cyclistmumgrandma · 22/11/2025 21:44

In my late 60's and have slept naked for the last 50 years, even in our first house where in the winter it dropped below freezing inside overnight. If it's cold I throw another blanket on. x
