Pyjamas or nighties (subject may offend)

I’ve worn nighties all my life but am thinking of trying pyjamas for a change as I can lounge about them watching tv in the evening. I’ve avoided PJs up to now from the freshness aspect when say visiting the toilet at night if you get my drift! There’s always a few droplets left for some reason after wiping. Whilst I’m writing this I’ve just realised you may get this with a nightie too, but I’ve never felt this was a problem.

PJs for me. Pyjama time after dinner every night for the comfort of lounging around and keeping warm. As for the other matter, I wash the bottoms quite frequently so like being able to buy separate bottoms and tops.

I prefer PJ’s and usually wear pants under the trousers.

Naked, winter and summer but a onesie or dressing gown to loaf around in…

PJs for lounging but nightie to sleep in

Nighties at home, but pyjamas if I`m away, and I wear knickers under them.

Clean pyjamas every day, I wear clean underwear every day, why wouldn't I wear clean pyjamas every night too? Sling them in the wash with underwear, all cotton, cool, comfortable, easy to launder.

I wear pjs till bed time but take them off to sleep I’ve never owned a nightie.

Naked to sleep, get undressed at bedtime and dressed when out of bed/showered in the morning. MrJ is the same, we don’t have loungewear.

Pyjamas for me every time. Lovely and comfy, no riding up. I like nice soft ones with Tshirt style top.
Don’t have the drip problem. Perhaps try staying on the loo a minute longer, you could try leaning forward then back to let out the last drips before wiping.
Someone on Gransnet mentioned this a year or so ago and I’ve done it ever since. Hope it works for you Smurf.

Nightie or nothing.

BlueBelle Mon 04-Oct-21 16:17:18

Pjs always
No one would sleep in nothing in my house ???

I wear nighties with a long dressing gown for lounging. I don't feel comfortable in pyjamas.

Pjs for me . Plenty of them !

lemongrove Mon 04-Oct-21 16:42:09

If it’s colder weather I sleep in a full length ( to the knee) slip,
Either black and lacy or white and lacy ( all undies have to have lace on)? and in Summer don’t wear anything as much too hot. I did buy some pj’s to see if I liked them, but found that I didn’t ( they made me feel about 8 years old.)

Audi10 Mon 04-Oct-21 16:45:58

Pjs for me, I’ve got quite a few pairs, clean ones on everynight

TillyTrotter Mon 04-Oct-21 16:48:49

M&S cotton or cotton jersey Nightdresses have always been my night attire ?

rafichagran Mon 04-Oct-21 16:52:17

Night dresses for me, pyjamas make me feel bundled up.

lemsip Mon 04-Oct-21 16:58:18

always a few droplets left I'm an adult and there are no droplets left after I've used the toilet........fgs.

hazel93 Mon 04-Oct-21 17:03:15

Definitely PJs . Darling DIL calls them leisure wear - she often pops around to find me still in them late morning , even early afternoon if not going out !
Should say I'm not talking PJs of the 50s .
No way could I sleep in them though - in the buff thank you -nothing to tangle you up !

Katyj Mon 04-Oct-21 17:47:32

Pjs here too. Have a bath about 4pm put a clean pair on, take them off to get into bed, put them back on when I get up, then do my cleaning in them and get changed into clothes about 10am.

A nightie like a large T shirt. Wear baggy leggings with them in the winter, plus my cashmere bedsocks.
Tried pyjamas but the legs are always too long and the tops too short.

Elegran Mon 04-Oct-21 18:23:08

No, the subject (pyjamas or nightie) doesn't offend, but if you have noticed that you still drip after wiping, how about staying in position a bit longer to finish dripping, and then using two wipes? Then you could wear nightie or pyjamas, whichever you wish.

A manufactured third world problem, if ever I heard one. Did you get as many replies as you were hoping for?

Good comment- but why WIPES? Loo paper is fine!

Nightie for me, can't stand not being 'free' - short and sleeveless in Summer, then longer with short sleeves- and longer still with long sleeves in deepest winter in our snowy mountains (we don't heat bedrooms).
