Men of the UK, do you wear jammies?
Posted by PaddedValls@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 58 comments
At night, once the front door is locked, I'll slip into a pair of loose jammies bottoms.
I sleep in the buff, but kick around the house in jammies.
My father would sit in a pair of jeans until it's time for bed.
Thats mad to me.

I personally just wear my girlfriend's lingerie.
Opening_Dentist_1128@reddit
Yes it really flatters my bulge. Much better than MY girlfriend's lingerie
Moppo_@reddit
Pyjama shorts for bed. Doesn't matter how clean I am, I feel uncomfortable sitting on stuff with just underwear on.
cluelesstwonk@reddit
Not jammies dude, you’re not 10. they are now house trousers.
sharpied79@reddit
From the age of 11 until about 45 I was a strictly sleep naked kind of guy, even in the depths of winter...
Now I'm 47 I like nothing better than lounging in a nice comfy pair of jammies that I also sleep in (unless it gets really hot) pretty much all year around...
How times change.
Now, where's my slippers?
😉

Jeans from dawn til dusk for me unless I'm going to the gym (shorts). I don't like the way joggers or pyjamas feel. Don't mind heavy combats though.
0oITo0@reddit
Normally I wear nothing unless I'm ill then a t-shirt
Bingle_Bongle_197@reddit
I do
BCBUK@reddit
I wear joggers or a PJ bottom around the house, but sleep in the nuddy or (stick with me) when it’s colder I am a recent convert to the long bed shirt. It looks like I’m Grandpa from Willy Wonka but I find it super comfy, but I wear it Winnie the Pooh style with no bottoms. It’s not at all attractive but zero regrets
Top-Bet1435@reddit
Costco Kirkland white T shirt and M&S brushed cotton pyjama bottoms.
jesusbambino@reddit
I have comfy lounging clothes for home that I change into after work and would never wear outside, but they’re not pyjamas. If it was freezing, I might sleep in them. I’ll generally sleep in underwear.
Famous_Bite_7707@reddit
Can’t say that I do. I’m of the opinion that if clothes aren’t comfortable enough to wear all day, don’t buy them to begin with 🤷♂️
Huge_Horse_8945@reddit
Boxers cause if I want to scratch my arse, I need a layer of protection
mistakes-were-mad-e@reddit
Boxers team represent.
TShirt for when I wander about
donkey_OT@reddit
T-shirt is the winter upgrade
BigComfortable6779@reddit
Tee shirt and sweat pants till bedtime then weather dependant. I have one pair of pyjamas for when I visit family.
IanJeffreyMartin@reddit
No one in the uk says jammies
PaddedValls@reddit (OP)
You sure about that, pal?
IanJeffreyMartin@reddit
Never in 48 years have I heard anyone in England at least, say jammies, let alone the rest of the Uk.
PaddedValls@reddit (OP)
As a Scots, I can assure you it's rife up here.
What do you call them?
Also, what's with the downvote on a discussion about what jammies/pyjamas are called? 😂
IanJeffreyMartin@reddit
I’ve heard it’s rife up there…. But what’s that got to do with jammies? 😁
Anyway, enough of this bants, I call them pajamas.
Downvote? Me? Where? If I have, it was an honest slip of the finger.
PaddedValls@reddit (OP)
You lot doon there. What are you like with your posh words like, "pyjamas" and...
..."Lavatory"
ashyboi5000@reddit
As a Scots it's often jimjams and baffies.
PaddedValls@reddit (OP)
Aren't baffies the name for slippers?
Thats how I've always known them.
Sad_Construction9495@reddit
Always called them jarmies
Visible_Pipe4716@reddit
Shorts and t shirt (joggers and hoody if it’s cold) around the house then I wear pj shorts and an old t shirt to sleep in. Or just shorts if it’s warm. Too paranoid to sleep in the nud
Sad_Construction9495@reddit
Scared your gonna skid the bed or something?
Visible_Pipe4716@reddit
Could be a fire. Or a burglar. Or a sex attacker. Or all three at once!
propsta84@reddit
For some reason that made me think of Bottom, the episode "gas"
Quinn_XXVII@reddit
That sounds like my missus after a few wines 😆
Terrible_Ad_7735@reddit
Then you'd definitely skid the bed.
hokkuhokku@reddit
I sleep in hospital-style scrub bottoms, and thin t-shirts used solely for sleeping. The bottoms are thin, lightweight, and durable.
MathematicianSad8487@reddit
Jeans and a t shirt around the house . Butt naked in bed . I have some jammies that were bought as Christmas presents . Wore them once or twice .
sossighead@reddit
For wearing on a night time, yes. Or joggers. I sleep in boxers though.
Quinn_XXVII@reddit
Crisp cotton loose boxers at home
Good quality cotton PJ’s when away from home
(Been fighting cancer for a few years, so there’s been lots of hospital procedures)
Mr_XIII_@reddit
Lounge shorts, by far the most comfortable solution I've found
Logically_Conflicted@reddit
Jeans until bedtime then boxers. Autistic. Hate the feel of joggers. PJs are annoying and too hot unless camping in the early spring.
martinbean@reddit
No.
And yet I get a pair every Christmas. Without fail.
ReasonableTotal8256@reddit
I wear trousers and a shirt to bed so I am ready to go in the morning
heyitsed2@reddit
Sometimes jammies, sometimes joggers, sports shorts, sometimes just nekkid.
Sleep nekkid.
limeblast@reddit
I started sleeping nude late last year and I'm never going back.
heyitsed2@reddit
I don't think I've worn pyjamas to sleep in since my teens!
PaddedValls@reddit (OP)
It's incredibly freeing, isn't it?
DevilishlyHandsome63@reddit
I lounge in boxers and a t shirt, and go naked for bed whatever the weather.
Rubberfootman@reddit
Jeans all day for me too. PJ bottoms are mainly for if I have to answer the front door in the morning.
Dhorlin@reddit
19.07 here in England and I'm in my jim-jams now. :)
Life_Emphasis6290@reddit
I realised nude makes the sheets dirtier, body oils and all that. So now its pjs and t-shirt
CoffeeandaTwix@reddit
I normally just sleep in boxers but I have a tracksuit that I change into after my evening shower that functions as jammies.
Otherwise_Living_158@reddit
T-shirt and boxers or just boxers to bed. Occasional in the nip post drunken coitus
East_Ad_4427@reddit
My partner loungers in joggers type thing and sleeps in boxers
SilyLavage@reddit
Usually, yeah. The length and thickness vary with the weather, naturally
dnf1957@reddit
Naked as the day I was born.
G_UK@reddit
No jammies. Around the house relaxing, I wear joggers. When it’s time for bed, I’d wear some shorts
Easy-Equal@reddit
Naked
JuniperScents@reddit
Stayed in jeans until bed when I lived with my mum. Since living alone I wear tracksuit bottoms in the evening and sleep nude.
Front_Society1353@reddit
Only when sick or in the middle of winter
abracadabrabeef@reddit
I wear underarmour shorts. They're insanely comfortable
