How often do you wear your pjs before they go in the wash?

[hippygirllucky]

Maybe not the right place to put this question but I couldn't find a better category.

How often do you wear your pjs before they go in the wash? I think I go for about 2 days before washing, but curious to know if this is normal?

Twice, no knickers.

Weekly, unless it's really hot in summer, then more frequently.

A week.

I was going to feel like I'm repulsive for this, but I discovered today that the CEO of Levi has not washed his jeans in ten years and the company recommends no more than once a month washing jeans, so I don't feel so bad.

I’m a sweaty sleeper, I can only wear a thin vest top and shorts/knickers for bed. They get washed daily. Strangely, I sweat even more if I’m naked under the duvet.
Pyjamas are worn as loungewear (over the aforementioned vest top and knickers) so they get worn 2-3 times before washing. I shower every night and morning too because I’m sweaty as fuck 😂

I sleep in my pelt and it does away with any of this extra labour.

Really could not be fucked washing 7 pairs of pyjamas a week, just for me. Ain't no one got time for that!

Once or twice. But I’m a sweaty, menopausal mess. Sometimes I do get up and change at 2am - but only if I’m uncomfortably damp.

I change the sheets mainly every Sunday, so I always get clean pjs that night, no matter what. Can’t wear dirty pjs in a clean bed ! 🤣

Once or twice a week, depending on how sweaty I have been, it’s been quite cold here recently so have gotten my thick fluffy ones out again!

In the summer I sleep in a vest top & knickers in winters it full blown pj’s

Nothing beats clean bed sheets and clean pjs, has to be one of the best things in the world, I look forward to bed every Sunday!

Change them every day but don't wear knickers underneath.

I'm a sweaty sleeper too so they stink 😂

After around 4 days - a week. I breastfeed in the night, so they end up with leaky patches on them, so I don't see the point in changing them too often for the same thing to happen again!

When they start to smell of weasels.

Who cares?

Just do what your comfortable with.

Don't they absolutely reek though? I normally change mine every 3-4 days but when I was breastfeeding it was daily because the dried leaked milk smelled awful.

About 2 nights for tops, 4 for bottoms (cba making sure my pjs match!). If I’m not showering at night sometimes I’ll just sleep in the t shirt I’ve worn during the day

What's interesting is the variety of answers. I'm assuming the daily changers must think the 4 dayers are stinkers but conversely the 4 dayers are presumably not very sweaty and likely wondering who has the time and energy for all that washing.

Surely if you don't wear pyjamas/ nightie, then you have to wash your bedding more regularly?

I don't wear pyjamas and I change my sheets once a week. I'm not a very sweaty or leaky person and I'm not sitting about obsessing about germs.

Nighties are changed about every 3 days. Pyjamas more often, it depends how hot it is. I don't like sleeping naked.

2 nights sometimes wear the bottoms for a 3rd with an odd top

2 nights. I like fresh clothes and this feels like a compromise

The only times I've ever worn anything in bed was when I was weaning co-sleeping babies off breastfeeding.

Can't stand wearing anything in bed.

Otherwise I put pjs on when I get up, and sit in them for a couple of hours before I'm ready to get dressed.

I wear the same ones for enough days to not know how many days it is!

Usually a week, then wash hair, PJs and sheets all on the same day so everything is "fresh"

i always shower right before fresh pajamas. I’m still likely to get a rash if I try to wear them more than once. Same with any article of clothing. I have ridiculously reactive skin.

I sleep in cotton knickers (1 wear) and some kind of soft bra/top (2 wears unless I've kept it on for all of the next day).

Once.

Theres nothing like a shower or bath last thing, putting on clean pjs and hopping into bed!

Two nights. I wear my PJs for about 12 hours a night so 24 hours of wear seems about right. Plus I sweat during the night.
