Do you wear knickers in bed?

Last night I ended up having a rather heated debate with a friend about whether you should wear knickers in bed. She said absolutely not - you should let your 'bits' air. I said yes - because then you don't have to change your pyjamas every singles day and also because it just feels better. Who is right? (Me obviously but interested to know what others think)

It's got me wondering if I should start .....

Ana Wed 28-Oct-15 18:44:04

No, don't, chloe! We knickerless types have to stick together...er...if you see what I mean. Besides, I'm sure it's healthier.

I sleep knickerless! I do wear a short gown or t- shirt. I don't feel comfortable without something covering my shoulders and backside.

Having only just started posting on the Forums, this wasn't the type of subject I expected to see! Very amusing (and maybe even educational?). My DH and I always sleep naked all year round, even on holiday. To be fair, my hot flushes keep me warm enough!

I am like envious I wear a top but no bottoms. I have a pair of pj bottoms on the floor beside me in case of emergency and to pull on in the morning. DH always wears pj shorts with no top, always the contrary one!

OkAna we will remain strong and knickerless together grin

I'll jump up and down wave my knickers in the air.....remember that one?

No, never wear knickers in bed. I wear nighties summer and winter due to the awful night sweats! I don't wear socks in bed either.

stillhere Wed 28-Oct-15 19:27:51

Yes I do! Up with knickers! grin

As far as I am concerned, they take the place of pyjama bottoms. I never did like conventional loose nighties, so I wear a long vest top and knickers. Anything that won't ride up.

And while we're at it: is it ok to pee in the shower?

ninathenana Wed 28-Oct-15 20:00:31

gringrin yes JessM you have permission

annsixty Wed 28-Oct-15 20:01:30

It is actually recommended by utility companies and green campaigners as being water saving.

Ana Wed 28-Oct-15 20:04:20

Yes indeed - and why not pee in the bath as well? The urine would be so dilute as to have a negligible effect on one's ablutions...

grannylyn65 Wed 28-Oct-15 20:06:38

Yes me !grin

grannylyn65 Wed 28-Oct-15 20:07:51

no no no I meant the knicks in bed !

annsixty Wed 28-Oct-15 20:08:41

We stayed unexpectedly at DBandSiL's after a late night with no clothes etc. I told SiL a pair of BiL's pyjamas would be fine, I would wear the jacket and Dh the bottoms, she was very shocked and produced a granny nightie for me. It was many years ago and we were recently married.

loopylou Wed 28-Oct-15 20:27:28

Definitely no to knickers in bed, as for wearing them and pyjama bottoms hmm

I wear zilch in the summer, pyjamas in the winter.

Crafting Wed 28-Oct-15 21:23:13

Nope I'm one of the no knickers brigade. Far too hot an uncomfortable. No PJs either.

Deedaa Wed 28-Oct-15 22:03:09

Years ago a friend, who lived in an isolated cottage, told me she always wore knickers under her nightie in case there was a fire and she had to be carried down a ladder over a fireman's shoulder thlgrin

I find either knickers or pyjamas much too hot.

kittylester Wed 28-Oct-15 22:05:45

Jess, is there any option? confused

janeainsworth Wed 28-Oct-15 22:20:33

I'm a nightie and no knickers woman.
But I've noticed that my DDs, contrary to their upbringing, wear knickers under their pjs. No idea where that came from.
jess peeing in the shower?? shockshock

Leticia Wed 28-Oct-15 22:21:07

I don't wear anything all year round - so if I did I wouldn't wear knickers.

Ana Wed 28-Oct-15 22:24:56

I'm shocked that you're shocked, janea! thlgrin

janeainsworth Wed 28-Oct-15 22:37:39

ana do you mean you're shocked because you think I'm a person who isn't usually shocked or are you shocked that anyone would be shocked at the peeing in the shower concept?

And I don't want to know if anyone pees in the bath or the swimming pool thank you all very much shock
