8 Things Never to Wear to Bed If You Want to Stay Married
Sure, you should be comfortable, but cozy can sometimes get really out of hand. By Brie Schwartz, REDBOOK.
1. His ratty undershirt
If it has yellow pit stains and black marks from where your mascara rubbed off over years of sleeping in his nook, it's not adorable. In fact, throw it out. He's a grown man. He can buy new undershirts.

2. Anything with a crust
If your pants show remnants of tonight's dinner, ice cream dribble, or wine spills, please remove before entering the boudoir.
3. Something from an ex
We don't care how soft it is, or if you haven't spoken to him since high school. It's bad bed-karma to sleep in a former flame's football jersey.
4. Teeth whitening strips, a hair mask, moisturizing gloves…
...or any other item that screams, "Do not disturb."

5. Old undies
Yes, sleeping in your skivvies is sexy, but not if they're full of holes. Once a season, do an underwear drawer overhaul and replace the ones you're less than proud of.
6. Retro kiddie-wear
If it has a Disney Princess or a cupcake printed on it, you're sending the wrong (and a vaguely creepy) message to your husband.

7. Socks (especially the ones you wore to work)
This goes for him too. A thong and knee-highs isn't a good look for anyone.
8. A slippery negligée
This one comes with a disclaimer. Sure, it'll turn him on, but if you're going to spend the entire night readjusting it when it slips into inconvenient crevices, you'll both end up annoyed and sleep-deprived. Change before you doze off.
