(54,256 posts)I sure as hell don't wear constricting undergarments.
I wear cotton knit really stretchy briefs.
They 'contain', which I like.
But they sure as hell don't 'constrict'.
Anyway, I sleep in a T-shirt and cotton knit elastic waist shorts.

The purpose of underwear is to keep clothes clean. A single layer at night is quite sufficient, and allows some healthy ventilation "where the sun don't shine".

I wear pajama bottoms but that's it.
