How often should you wash your pajamas? Every night? Every few nights? Once a week? Turns out, people have very strong opinions on this.
TikTok user Allison Delperdang (@allisondelperdang) sparked a heated debate when she posted a simple question: Do adults wear the same pajamas multiple nights in a row?
In her now-viral clip, Allison explained:
“I need to know—when I was younger, my parents made us wear pajamas for multiple nights because they weren’t dirty. And I still do that as an adult.”

She then stepped back to show the cozy button-up onesie she had been sleeping in for three nights straight and asked:
“Are we all still doing this, or should I be making dirty clothes every single night?”
With over 1.7 million views and thousands of comments, the internet did not hold back.
Team “Fresh Pajamas Every Night”
Some people were horrified at the thought of re-wearing sleepwear:
- “No way! I don’t even reuse towels, let alone pajamas.”
- “I wear fresh PJs every single night. Same with jeans—I can’t wear them twice in a row.”
- “Clean pajamas daily, unless I’m traveling. Then maybe two nights before washing.”
Team “Why Wash If It’s Not Dirty?”
Others couldn’t believe this was even a discussion:
- “Wait… people don’t wear the same pajamas multiple nights?!”
- “I wear mine for a week straight. Laundry is my nemesis.”
- “If it’s not dirty or smelly, why waste water and energy washing it?”
One person put it bluntly: “I don’t have enough pajamas or patience for that much laundry.”
The Laundry Confession
@allisondelperdang Replying to @ashleycarpenter99 well on the topic of adulting…how often are we doing laundry? #laundry #adulting #laundrytok #cleaning #habits ♬ original sound – Allison Delperdang
Allison later doubled down in a follow-up video, revealing her true feelings about laundry:
“I hate laundry so much that I’ve actually gone out and bought new underwear instead of washing my clothes.”
Her honesty resonated with many, proving that when it comes to laundry habits, everyone does things a little differently.
At the end of the day, as long as your pajamas are clean enough, does it really matter? Or should we all be swapping them out nightly? Let us know—how often do you wash yours?
