If you ever wear pajama pants or some type of pajama, do you ever have panties on underneath it? I remember growing up I never did and my friends asked if I did one time and when I said no they thought it was really strange. Now I do though. Usually. Also do any of you sleep with your bra on? I had a friend who always slept with her bra on. I cant imagine how uncomfortable that would be to wear every night. ---

No bra, yes panties. ---

If I can speak for my wife, she wears panties but no bra. And thick pajamas and socks (she gets cold). ---

My girlfriend sleeps in whatever she was wearing that day (so shirt and jeans usually), which includes all underwear. ---

If I do wear pj pants, I only have underwear on if I have my period. Never wear a bra to bed except for a very few exceptions - mostly if I’m backcountry hiking/camping and sleeping in a tent or backpacking through some country. Then I might leave a sports bra on. ---

My girlfriend wears underwear under her pajama pants, should she choose to wear anything at all to bed. EDIT: Also, no bra to bed. ---

No bra or panties to bed, ever. If anything, a shirt of my husband’s on cold nights. I can’t imagine wearing panties to bed. Doesn’t seem comfortable at all. Plus, doesn’t that mean you’re wearing the same pair for nearly 24 hours? Or do you slip on a fresh pair before bed? ---

Never. Usually on my period it’s just a tampon and no undies. It’s important to air things out down there. Plus, I wash each pair of pj pants after wearing so it’s not like I’m constantly exposing my nether regions to the same yuckiness or anything. ---

I sleep naked, so when I wear PJ’s its just for slouching around the house. And I do wear underwear then, because, well, the vagina is a self-cleaning organ but any clothing directly exposed to its cleaning mechanism should be washed after one wearing, and I don’t really feel like doing that, nor do I own enough PJ pants to make it practical. ---

Undies and a sports bra under my jammies. ---

If I wear pjs I never wear underwear. My ma taught me to do it like that when I was a child, citing that “those parts need to get air”. I usually take off my pjs to sleep though, unless it’s very cold. ---

I don’t own pajamas. I take off my pants and sleep in my shirt most nights. ---

I shower at night so I don’t put on panties when I go to bed. If I’m not sleeping naked, I have on pj pants. If I don’t shower before bed, I leave my panties on. When I get up my “work uniform” is pajamas (work from home) and I put on underwear, for the reason **Hello Again** stated. I don’t want to be wearing these pj pants tomorrow if they basically served as underwear all day today. Only wear a bra when in the company of others. Never to bed. ---

What \*\*ZipperJJ \*\*and **Hello Again** said. Pajamas take on a whole different meaning when you work from home. In other words, I have 1 pair of jeans, and 5 pairs of pajama pants. And that fits my clothing needs just fine. ---

I take my shower when I get up. I put on a clean pair of panties. If I go out, I put on more clothes. When I go to bed, I might sleep in just the panties, or I might put on a nightie or some PJs. But I do wear the panties until the next day’s shower. What, am I supposed to change them halfway through the day or something? ---

I used to wear panties under my pjs when I was a little girl. Then I read some article that said you could get a yeast infection or something if you did that (have no idea if that’s true), so I started going commando. ---

I generally sleep in a tshirt and panties, no bra. If it’s cold enough to warrant pajama bottoms, I leave the undies on. I think of chafing. I have never been comfortable going commando on the few occasions I’ve done it.
