Wearing underwear to bed

[SusanBAnthony]

Do you sleep in underwear?

There are already too many poll choices. If you sleep in underwear, feel free to comment on if you put on fresh underwear for sleeping, or wear the same underwear.

So I’m not usually an underwear wearer overnight, but if I’m in a situation where I need to wear undies - camping with my troop, period, etc. - I will put fresh underwear on.

I’m not giving my undercarriage a chance to fuss.

[lindyanne]

I sleep in whatever I have on. Sometimes I take them off when I change into comfy clothes and sometimes I don’t. I don’t usually change again into pajamas.

[bears]

I don't wear underwear and typically wear my PJs once. If I do wear underwear to bed, it's a fresh pair and I change it in the morning.

I don't understand people who don't put on fresh underwear for bed or change it in the morning.

[lilypad1126]

I don’t put on fresh underwear just to sleep. But more often than not, I shower in the early evening, and I put clean underwear on then.

[mcmel]

Sports bra and undies every night.

[scm1011]

I’ve never thought to put on new underwear before bed (I wear PJ pants). Do people generally wear 2 pairs of underwear a day? Is this going to be the new washcloth thread lol?

[Jalapeñomel]

Yes, I take a bath before bed every night.

No bra, that sounds awful.

[cjcouple]

Too many factors to say a definitive yes or no.

If I shower in the morning, I do change. If I shower at night, they are changed after the shower.
I sometimes shower in the evening so no, I don't change them again a few hours later.

BUT in the summer, I sometimes have to walk my dog at 8pm after sun is down, so yes I will change again.

Of i walk him in the heat, in the summer, I will change them immediately haha.

It all boils down to my daily activity and the time I've had them on.

Today I showered at 11am so I plan to change them when input my PJs on.

The only time I wear underwear is with dresses and skirts - then I wear boy shorts. I don’t really wear pants other than workout pants/yoga style pants and pajama pants. I wear them once with no underwear and then wash them.

I have some hangy stomach skin (in part from having four kids) and I’m having a tummy tuck next week, so we’ll see if wearing underwear (and non stretchy pants) becomes something I want to do more/I find more comfortable.

I can’t imagine wanting to wear a bra to bed. But maybe it’s because I don’t have big boobs.

[momin2013]

No underwear, only a nightgown that I wear more than once before washing. I take a shower before bed.

I honestly don’t think I’ve ever worn underwear to bed in my life.

[eddy]

I wear pajama shorts. Never underwear. I wear the shorts a couple nights in a row.

[heyyounotyouyou]

Yes I go to bed in clean underwear and sleep in either a tank top (summer) or long sleeve (winter) and underwear. I can’t sleep in pajama bottoms.

[sofamonkey]

Lol we are bored, aren’t we?

I wear underwear most of the time. Sometimes I don’t feel like it, but whatever. DH never does.

I don’t think I've ever spoken to my kids about this. I know DS still does, but not all the time. DD I don’t know.

[VillainV]

I wear boxer briefs (Woxers) with a t-shirt and bralette to bed. I wear the same boxer briefs maybe two nights in a row. I don’t wear the same underwear during the day. I can’t sleep braless or without underwear because I have sensory issues.

I do typically wear two pairs of underwear a day, changing after my workout or anything else sweaty (especially in the summer).

[leahcar]

Since my dog started sleeping in the bed, I wear undies. I’m creeped out by thinking of accidentally touching him.

Whether that is a fresh pair or not varies on what I did that day. I wash myself and put on a fresh pair the next morning always.

[underwaterrhymes]

I sleep in underwear and a tshirt or tank top. My kids still wind up in our bed, so naked wouldn’t work for us.

Reminds me of this letter from a grandmother horrified about her granddaughters wearing underwear to bed: slate.com/human-interest/2022/06/girls-underwear-sleeping-care-and-feeding-advice.html

My best friends mom always told them they need to let their vagina breathe at night. Friend was always like "if mom was on the stairs in her nightgown we just knew not to look up" 😂

I have the same underwear on that I wore that day unless for some reason I tortured myself with a thong that day. I change when I have a shower in the morning.

[heygrey]

I wear underwear and a tank top to bed, even in the dead of winter. I will add more blankets to stay warm before I add more clothing. Sometimes I put on clean underwear before bed, sometimes I don't. Depends on how sweaty I was that day, etc.

[erbear]

If I shower at night, I put on clean underwear and wear it the next day. If I shower in the morning, I wear my undies from the previous day to bed, then clean in the morning.

[wildrice]

No underwear to bed - just pajama bottoms or shirts and a top. Honestly that's how I'm dressed 99% of the time when I'm at home anyway. I generally take off any undergarments and change into comfy bed appropriate clothes as soon as I get home from being out. On WFH days I shower and change right back into comfy clothes with no underwear.

Eta: with occasional exception, I wear clean clothes every day/night

[sugarbear1]

In general, I wear undies as infrequently as possible. lol. I sleep naked when I'm with my boyfriend. On nights that I have my kids, I sleep in yoga pants, no underwear.

[Whitecaps]

Underwear is a 24-hour thing for me. As in, shower in the morning, put on a fresh pair, wear it until the following day’s shower.

And I would never dream of sleeping - or really doing anything - without underwear.

[agnes]

I only wear underwear. I shower right before bed. But if I didn’t, I’d totally have a fresh pair.

[lolalolalola]

The only time I don’t wear underwear is if I’m swimming, showering or having sex. I change it in the morning, sometimes again at night but only the ones I’m wearing isn’t super comfortable or if I’m not feeling “fresh”

I have an entire dresser drawer dedicated to just my sleep bras (non-underwire soft sports bras). My partner jokes that I’m nearly a top half “never nude”.

But underwear under pajamas always.

[dreamcrisp1]

I shower before bed so new undies and yes I definitely wear them to bed along with pjs bc it’s cold.

If for some reason, I don’t shower before bed, I still wear new underwear.

[7costanza]

I wear only underwear to bed and shower at night so always wear a fresh pair. I mostly wear leggings during the day and don’t wear underwear with those so I just take it off in the morning.

[SusanBAnthony]

I am asking because I grew up in a "absolutely never wear underwear to bed, you must let your vagina air out" house. But as I age my pajama pants are... not fresh... with no underwear. But i don't want to have to buy 7 pairs of pajama pants.

Maybe nightgowns are the answer.
