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.

Always a nightdress,no knickers.

I have daytime pants Sloggis and lots of silky soft night time pants.
Bigberthal what a vision that conjures up.

A sight for sore eyes.

Pyjamas in the mornings and evenings - but sleep nude except on the coldest nights, when I wear a long sleeved t-shirt.

I can't see the point of nighties, as my legs get chilly when I'm out of bed. I couldn't sleep in one, either, as it'd get all tangled up every time I turn over. (Thankfully, no dripping problem here - urggh)

Re breaking wind in bed - the makers of wind filtering underwear, Shreddies, have started making bedding too.

Goodness from breakfast Shreddies to bedding!

I wear a cotton nightie with pants underneath, whatever the season. I wear a thin pantie pad in my pants as I have a slight dripping problem after having a wee too.

Can't stand wearing anything in bed, but lounge in soft pj bottoms and t shirt.

I always wear an oversized t-shirt & pants during the night when in bed,during the day if I am not going out anywhere I like to wear a nice pair of PJs I own quite a few sets that are very comfy for lounging in.
As for after toilet drips rocking back & forth for a couple of minutes solves the problem as it empties the bladder completely and solves any problems I was told to do this by my urologist years ago and it has always worked well.

Thanks all. I’ve had a chuckle at some of the comments.

Clean smart pyjamas every night (in case I die in the bed ?)

Jim jams and panties cotton in summer fleecy in winter. Just put teddy bear duvet covers on the beds hate being cold.

Nightie in the summer, pjs in winter always with knickers underneath.

I wear PJs with pants underneath. I prefer legging or jogger style bottoms (as I’m short and soft ankle cuffs work better for me than the wider flappy too long bottoms) and pull on tee shirt style tops.I sometimes wear short tee shirt style nighties in hot weather.

Leggings and camisole with a cardigan for lounging, nothing in bed. Also have a thick fleece dressing gown for winter and a flowery cotton one for summer.

I’m the same as Stasiacyph. We are mid Season here so last night I wore a nightie and about 4 am it went cold so I got up and put my pj bottoms on underneath. Plus a pair of socks ! You wouldn’t think you’d need that in Australia but down south you do . Husband slept through the lot, as per usual.

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

Snap. jersey nighties gives a lot of freedom movement, and can move more freely in that PJ's that seem to get sort of snarled up and not comfy.

I’ve always been more of a nightie person in the summer since they’re light and comfy, but when it starts getting cooler, I switch to PJs. They’re great for lounging around in the evening, especially when you’re just relaxing and watching TV. As for the other issue, I get what you mean, but I’ve found that with regular washes, it’s not really a problem. If you’re thinking about making the switch, maybe try some thedom.com/midnight-mischief-sleepwear —you might find them perfect for both lounging and staying comfy.

Why resurrect a thread from 2021? Is this a spam post?

For the same reason as the OP, no pyjamas. Nightie and definitely no knickers

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

Absolutely. Why wouldn't you? Wash and a clean pair for night wear. .
