I guess I'll be the first to say that I sleep naked! So... as often as I wash myself! 
 I do have a nightgown that I wear around the house when I first get up or in between shower and bed, etc. I wash it with my regular load of clothes, about once a week.

I heard about the 17-day figure, too. I can't imagine people doing it, though. I wear a large, floppy t-shirt and it gets changed out once a week, or sooner if it gets dirty. The main reason it would get dirty is that since it's a t-shirt I wear it once I get home from work, too, so that means I eat and clean house in it among other things.

^ same. I would be surprised if it took 17 days for my night gown to get pooped on by a bird or for me to drop food on it. I have chocolate stains on many a night gown...

...with the cats...
i'm among those who don't wear actual pajamas to bed. in the warm/hot weather, it's a cotton t-shirt and men's boxer shorts (lightweight, cool and comfy). in the cool/cold weather months, i transition over the fall months from my summer sleepwear to (in the most frigid of winter) a thermal henley top and a pair of thermal bottoms.

17 days wearing the same sleepwear? no, no, and double no. i change to fresh sleepwear every 2-3 days, or if they start feeling not quite as clean as they should be. i have quite a few pairs of my sleepwear tops/bottoms, so very easy to do.

The study says that 17 days is the AVERAGE. So that means there's people who don't wash until probably around 1 month. What's weird is that if you follow the link, there's a poll you can take. The results say that 53% (at least at the time I took the poll) wash weekly, and that was the largest group.

Everyday, I guess! 


It just feels fresh to wash them everyday. I don't know why! I just feel like that.

That's funny! I do that in the summer, but got hot under the covers the other night, so off the p.j.s went!

LOL! Yup, I get chocolate on my p.j.s a lot too! ....No matter how careful I try to be, at least a little ends up on me. Thank goodness for spray & wash or resolve!

I wear summer nighties the whole year round. I have enough for a clean one a day but I change every 2-3 days. I only wear them in bed so no.food gets on them.

I've tried but I just can't sleep naked. I have dreams/ nightmares that I am out in public naked. My clothes are within reach but I just can't get them. It's awfully embarrassing!! I end up getting up and putting pjs on.

  That is such a common dream, but how funny you only dream it when you're naked.

I don't actually have PJs.. just comfy clothes that I sleep in.  That way, if I get up and haven't changed, it doesn't matter if I have unexpected visitors..

LOL! Well, in the jeans thread people were talking about crotch smells :nausea:  so I didn't think it would be TOO offensive!
:lol3::lol3::lol3: Not offensive and to tell you the truth, I am surprised it took someone so long to say it. :lol3:

I have my own weird PJ OCD rules. :lol3: If I shower late in the day, then I always have to get fresh PJ's. PJ's for me are an oversized T-shirt. In the winter I add pajama pants. I am allergic to cats, so if I pick up Abby or she is in my lap while I have the PJ's on, then it's always a fresh pair.

The closest I get to sleeping naked , is a big sleep shirt with nothing underneath. I HATE the restriction of legs with pajama pants on!! I want to me able to move my legs. 

And as far as sleeping naked, I just find that certain flappy twins are too big for comfort so if I roll over, etc I get slapped in the face LOL LOL........
