Sleeping without underwear in clean days
13/11/2024

Question

During the 7 clean days, how important is wearing white underwear? Are you allowed to not wear any and wear loose pants to sleep? Or do you need to wear in order to make sure you are not bleeding?

Answer

During the seven clean days, the layer of clothing that is closest to your skin should be white. If you prefer not to wear underwear while you are sleeping, you should wear white pajama pants or a white nightgown. If you wear just a white nightgown (or if you are not wearing anything), then you should sleep on white sheets.
If you wear white underwear or pants to sleep, then you may sleep on colored sheets (although some women still have the custom to use white sheets).
