Remember that Monty Python Spam sketch?

It's not as fun to reenact as you might think.

Me: Okay, before you watch this, you must go upstairs and put underpants on under your nightgown.
Her: (doing splits and the like all over the carpet) I don't like underpants.
Me: I don't recall asking you.
Her: But I don't need them.
Me: Yeah, you do. Go and get some on.
Her: I don't like underpants.
Me: This does not bode well for your future. Anyway, you have two choices—go upstairs and put underpants on, or go upstairs and get dressed. Which…now that I think of it, also involves underpants.
Her: I don't want to wear underpants.
Me: Then you have a problem. Either get dressed or put underpants under your nightgown.
Her: I don't like underpants. I don't need them.
Me: Go upstairs and get underpants.
Her: Nah. I don’t want to wear them.
Me: Go.
Her: But--
Me: GO.
Her: (STOMPS UPSTAIRS, NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN)

And now, Radio 4 will explode.

Underpants are the devil's invention..I look so much better without them...but not wearing them has certain drawbacks wich you, young people, have no knowledge of...

I sympathise, I hated panties as a kid and never wore them under my nightgowns. To be fair one of my favourite hobbies as a child was jumping up and down on mom's bed in front of her vanity and lifting up my nightgown to flash myself.

One time, I woke up and my then 4 year old son had FLOURED the living room floor!

I had this problem with my son. He ran around naked a lot at that age.

Get her some boxers!
