I’ve come to this a bit late (sorry), but I felt I must admit to being among the naked sleeping fraternity although, unlike Emilyanne, I didn’t wear PJs as a child. My parents were of the belief that it was more healthy to wear as little as possible to bed, and in their case, this meant birthday suits all round So, once my sister and I were reliably dry at night, we were actively encouraged to sleep in the altogether – what more could any nudist-inclined kid wish for!

Add me to the naked sleeping party. Even if I go to sleep in pajamas I always shed during the night and wake up naked. I own 5 or 6 lovely sets of PJ’s but only wear them for lounging during the day.

And word on Overstock. All my bedding, including my fabulous down comforter(s) came from that site. The reviews are priceless when it comes to deciding which stuff is the best deal.

@PhDork: Harpy Seminar! We can all do the ’70s feminist thing and check ourselves out with hand mirrors.

I don’t think regular cotton panties are going to give you crotch rot if you wear them 24-7, but I’ve always heard that’s it’s healthy to let the ol’ labia flap in the breeze when possible.

What’s going on with cooters that they need “airing out”? My cunt is not a musty basement. I’ve read OBO, and I know not to wear nylon/wet/tight/made of food/someone else’s drawers, but I don’t remember anything about regular cotton knickers being problematic.

Maybe this is for a different post, though: Catbags 101. On the sheets topic, I got a set of fleece (like polartec) sheet for Xmas, and they are the best thing to happen to winter since hot chocolate.

Amen to airing out the catbag. My mom was very “Our Bodies, Ourselves” about vaginal health, and that meant no underwear in bed. It scandalized my very proper grandmother, though, who insisted on underwear even if you were wearing a floor-length nightgown with bathrobe belted on top of it.

@SarahMC: The whole “what do you do when you get up at night?” thing was the subject of ENDLESS inquiries from the nice Baptist girls in my freshman dorm. When I was a kid, the bathroom was right outside my bedroom door, so I wasn’t going to be parading past anyone in the hallway (and even if I had, we were a fairly open family when it came to nudity). In college I just grabbed a robe off the hook on the back of the door. Problem solved.

@HanaMaru: Bath sheets FTW! Don’t even talk to me about wussy little towels. Mine are also from Overstock.

haha, I was also instructed to air out my catbag, more or less.

PhDork, it’s to air our your catbag.

I want to turn an entire bedroom into a bed, by like, putting two kings together with a twin on the end.

I love to buy new sheets. I love to theme my bed up with fun colors and a new duvet cover every once in a while. It’s a fun way to redo your room without having to bust out the paint brushes. I don’t even bother counting how many pillows I have, I sort of just nest in the middle of them. Having nice linens and no longer sleeping in a twin bed is probably one of my favorite simple pleasures of being an adult.
