"Speaking to the Daily Mail, she explained that it's best to change your pyjamas every single day. If you shower before bed and aren't very sweaty, you might be able to stretch that to three or four wears at a push. However, most people are putting themselves at risk of developing bad body odour and even harmful infections by repeatedlywearing the same pair of pyjamas."
"On social media, the question of how often to change your pyjamas has sparked an intense debate. On one side, there are those who claim that wearing pyjamas more than once or twice is unhygienic. One commenter wrote on X: 'I must be one of those water wasters cause it's a fresh one every night and bed linen is changed weekly.' Another user chimed in that they 'wear them twice maximum', while another asked: 'What about sweat? What about crotch odour?'"
Best practice is to change pyjamas every day. Showering before bed and low perspiration may allow wearing the same pyjamas three to four times. Repeatedly wearing unwashed pyjamas increases the risk of body odour and harmful infections. Previous studies report the average Brit wears pyjamas for up to two weeks without washing. Social media reactions vary widely, with some people using a fresh pair nightly and changing bed linen weekly, while others accept wearing pyjamas for several nights or a week. Concerns raised include sweat and genital odour versus perceptions that frequent changes are unnecessary.
