wiegie Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 My wife and I are having a debate: I think children should wear underwear under their pajamas My wife thinks that wearing underwear under pajamas is not only unnecessary, but perhaps even unhealthy (and that I am just being prudish for thinking that underwear should be worn under pajamas). (Note: my wife wants me to make sure that I inform you that the kids wear a fresh clean pair of pajamas every night.) What are your thoughts on this topic?

The Irish Doggy Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I hear forcing children to go underwearless is pre-Swiss Army training. You know, to toughen them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Until pajamas have been deemed undergarments and not garments, then undergarments should be worn under them....the garments. And to prove you aren't a prude ask her to stop wearing underwear altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Wiegie is wise. And you are a prude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheikYerbuti Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Wearing PJ's with no underwear would mean having to throw them in the washing machine about 3 times as often. Go green; wear underwear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I can understand a more grown person deciding they like to wear PJs with no underwear to sleep, underwear with no PJs, both, or neither. but it seems like kids may as well wear them. I do believe kids tend to have pee drops, skid marks and the like...keep that contained to the undies. another thing...if your wife gets her way, I sure hope they don't have any PJs with zippers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go green; wear underwear." Sure everyone knows you don't have to wash underwear. I don't understand the problem: You wore boxers all day. They were going in the wash anyway. Rather than throw them in the wash before putting on PJ's with nothing underneath, wear them under your PJ's. Next morning, hang PJ's up, throw yesterday's underoos in the wash. Now you don't have to wash the PJ's as often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I know Wiegie has boys but I still answer the question the same way. Yes. Underwear should be worn. Especially for girls because no unerwear for girls could lead to yeast infections even at a young age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
untateve Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) my boys both wear underwear as their pajamas. One usually wears a shirt to bed, one is usually only sleeping in his boxers. When they wore pajamas, they went commando. They were more comfortable. I only wear my boxers to bed. I want to be more comfortable. It's all about comfort. If they're more comfortable with underwear under their pajamas, let them sleep that way. If they're more comfortable without, let them sleep that way. Edit: I didn't vote in the poll because you used the word "should." In this instance, there is no "should."

Our daughter wears underwear everynight with her night gowns, gets a fresh clean pair on after her shower and a new pair in the morning.

driveby Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I always sorta considered pajamas to be underwear you could wear and not have to cover up. Trying to remember if I wore underwear under my pajamas and if my son wore underwear under his PJ's. Nope, don't think so. I voted no.

wiegie Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 I don't understand the problem: You wore boxers all day. They were going in the wash anyway. Rather than throw them in the wash before putting on PJ's with nothing underneath, wear them under your PJ's. Next morning, hang PJ's up, throw yesterday's underoos in the wash. Now you don't have to wash the PJ's as often. amusingly enough, it was exactly this line of thinking that got my wife and I discussing the topic. She was talking about how many loads of laundry she washes in one day and I said that I couldn't understand how we had so many clothes to wash. And then she said that she washes our boys' pajamas everyday. I said that you don't need to wash them everyday. And then she started explaining about how pajamas need to be washed everyday because it would be gross if they weren't washed everyday. That is when I found out that didn't think people wore underwear when they wear their pajamas. (And the funny thing is that our sons still wear diapers when they go to sleep so this isn't even an issue yet.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
