A viral debate over sleepwear hygiene highlighted differing opinions on how often pajamas should be washed.
Sleepwear accumulates sweat, dead skin cells, and bacteria over time, which can lead to odors and skin irritation.
Dermatologists generally recommend washing pajamas after three to four wears, though heavy sweating requires more frequent laundering.
Choosing an optimal routine comes down to balancing personal hygiene, breathable fabric choices, and environmental water conservation.
