No, because my husband would divorce me.

I wear slippers at home and my feet aren't sweaty, so they aren't tracking filth into bed or festering.

Edit: I do take my socks off in bed.

๐Ÿ˜‚ wat? So you do take your socks off before bed?

Isnt it lowkey kind of a freeing experience? Like some women use that example of letting the pups (boobs) free and bra off when they get home from work after a long day

Yeah I fucked up communicating.

I do take my socks off because otherwise my husband would be extremely displeased with me. I don't understand why he wants them off because it's not like I'm tracking anything into bed.

I haven't worn a real bra in years but even the bra-like garments I wear now are less about freeing and more about stopping the rage lol. I think the issue is the band, just like a waist band. The socks I wear are not tight in a small section, they apply rather even pressure which I enjoy!

Theres something unsettling about wearing them in bed, it almost feels like keeping on your shoes in the house in a way. Its too busy, take a load off And stay awhile

I think wearing your socks would make it harder to fall and stay asleep tho. You want your bodys temperature to go down and cool down so to speak. I think taking off your socks is arguably one of The easiest and fastest ways to get immediate relief in that respect

Theres this weird thing where my feet are very sensitive to being too hot and they're so of a belweather for if i need to cool off and lose some layers like socks
