15 Best Underwear To Sleep In

Are you a pantsless sleeper? I am. Maybe that’s TMI, but to me, there’s nothing better than sleeping sans pants. But that makes the underwear I choose to sleep in extra important. You want something that’s stylish, but more importantly they NEED to be comfortable! And there’s lots of ways underwear can be uncomfortable. Too tight, too loose, too wedgie prone. And any of those little annoyances can become a big problem at bedtime. This list of 15 is going to put an end to all that! We’ve compiled the best bedtime underwear options, in a myriad of cuts and styles. Hopefully there’s something for everyone here. No more squirming and tugging, just peaceful, pantsless sleep for all!

MeUndies is known for their bright, fun patterns. If you’re envious of your boyfriend’s heart print boxers, MeUndies has your back. All of their undies are made with an ultra soft micromodal fabric.

These underwear will give you a bit of extra protection without compromising on comfort or cuteness!

Any of these undies would be great for a bit of night time chilling, unwinding with a bit of Netflix before bed. A great addition for under your favorite pajamas, or if you’re like me, a giant t shirt and nothing else!
