I've always wondered why most women wear some sort of garment to bed. I've never been able to sleep with any kind of clothes on.Pajamas are like an Iron Maiden to me. Ok, ladies, explain. |

27 Jan 12 - 09:22 AM (#3297171) Subject: RE: BS: Women's nightgowns From: kendall My pants are right on the floor where I can step into them if need be. My ex once mentioned to her maiden Aunt that I slept naked, and she was appalled. She said, "What if there was a fire"? I said, "I just wouldn't go to it." If I don't have time to pull my pants on, I don't have time to get out of the house either. So, the remote possibility that the house might burn down is more important than being comfortable? If my life was at stake I couldn't care less what the firemen thought! |

27 Jan 12 - 10:29 AM (#3297220) Subject: RE: BS: Women's nightgowns From: Stilly River Sage I keep the house quite cool at night this time of year, and I have a down comforter on the bed. If I head to the bathroom I don't want to put on a cool robe, I sleep a longish (mid-thigh) t-shirt that is comfortable and keeps warmth in long enough to visit the loo and hop back into bed. In the summer I wear the same long t-shirts because it's so hot here and I don't cool the house below 80. I have a ceiling fan on and usually a cotton sheet if the breeze makes my feet cool. Summer time sleeping in a t-shirt with no covers is comfortable. We don't plan on a house fire here, but as others have mentioned, there isn't a lot of time for reaction if one occurs. I'll feel lucky if I can account for everyone who was in the house in the short time available for response. I don't want to be fooling with finding something to wear. SRS |

27 Jan 12 - 10:43 AM (#3297231) Subject: RE: BS: Women's nightgowns From: John MacKenzie I wear an ankle length flannelette nightshirt in the winter, and a Tee shirt in the months allegedly known as summer.

27 Jan 12 - 11:45 AM (#3297269) Subject: RE: BS: Women's nightgowns From: GUEST,leeneia Good question, Kendall. 1. I suppose people get used to nightware when they are young and share the house with other children and roommates. 2. A lot of places are so cold that pj's are necessary. 3. Parents put nightware on kids so that when they get up, they are covered. 4. To me, my nightgown signals that it's time for sleep. It's part of the process of going to sleep. 5. I do get up and move around at night, and I like to have something on. 6. My final point, and this is something I think all people should think about, comes from an article in the paper about women buying cars. The article said that "Women today feel deeply vulnerable." Thus they buy cars bigger than they need. They also have nightware because to be naked is to vulnerable. I guess all the violence we hear about gets to us at a deep level. I'll tell you one thing. Recently my husband wanted to wake me up at 3 am to start a trip to Europe. He touched my shoulder, and I screamed and came up swinging. (He was quite startled.) We agreed that from then on, he would wake me up by calling my name from several feet away and not touching me. "Deeply vulnerable" seems to include fear of being attacked while sleeping. |

27 Jan 12 - 01:16 PM (#3297323) Subject: RE: BS: Women's nightgowns From: gnu As a resident project engineer in my mid-twenties, I stayed at motels three weeks on with a weekend at home. I began wearing nightclothes after I realized than the bedsheets are not always changed bewteen guests (don't ask on accounta you don't wanna know how I found that out - let's just say I didn't pay that night's stay). Plus, I keep it cold in the house year round and I'd freeze getting out of the bunk especially since I lost over a hundred pounds. (Since I lost weight, I have had to keep the daytime temp about 4C above what I used to keep it at even tho I wear a hoodie most of the time.) |

27 Jan 12 - 01:26 PM (#3297333) Subject: RE: BS: Women's nightgowns From: Richard Bridge I once got -er -trapped during a fire drill. My then girlfriend's room was part of the fire escape route in a whole block of female physiotherapists at a certain hospital and while she could leap out and retreat in a dressing gown I had to stay peering embarrassedly out of the sheets until I could retrieve my trousers to get out of bed. I also once locked myself out of a hotel room in no nightclothes but luckily found a large towel in an unlocked bathroom! At home I wear what I please since my dog is not easily embarrassed, and keep a huge dressing gown in case people stop over without pleasurable intent. I have never worn a woman's nightgown, but I don't understand why women often wear nighties rather than pyjamas if they are going to wear nightwear - unless for titillation. |

It's warm and cosy, and it helps me to survive. My sister's house is like a well-appointed fridge, I don't know how she stands it. She always did have hairy legs, now I know why! |

I 'usually' wear clothes, even when I don't have to because things stick, splash, burn and otherwise irritate my delicate sensitive skin.. *grin* I think Nancy King's remark was quite relevant.. " ..because my arms and shoulders get cold when I read in bed." In bed? In the hottest Summer months, I will wear nothing at times...in the coldest Winter, I have several old, soft, long-sleeved turtle-neck pullovers which must save their original cost in heating bills each Winter. |

28 Jan 12 - 10:48 AM (#3297859) Subject: RE: BS: Women's nightgowns From: katlaughing I loved nightgowns when I was little, esp. the flannel one my grandma made me, but as I got older and more "experienced" I went to nothing, unless I was wooing somebody, then it was provocative and usually came off. For years after Rog and I married (32 years ago) I wore nothing until menopause. I had a friend who said she started wearing p.j.s when she went through it because of night-sweats. She figured it was easier to wash soaked nighties than a whole set of sheets every day. So, I started wearing long t-shirts; still do, only now it's mostly for comfort and to keep the lotion and Tiger Balm on me, not the sheets.:-) Oh, and Bobert, I know what you mean about finding all-cotton stuff. I've found some in stores, but it is a cheap cotton, treated with some kind of chemicals that even a vinegar soak won't remove, so becomes itchy and I wind up taking it back. If P-Vine wouldn't mind sharing some sources via you by PM or whatever, I'd be grateful. What's "Moby?" Maybe "mo' bee" (i.e."sting") in his Dick?:-) |

30 Jan 12 - 08:09 AM (#3298942) Subject: RE: BS: Women's nightgowns From: GUEST,Patsy The reason that I wear snug pajamas or trackie bottoms and t shirt is because if I wake up in the middle of the night I don't get any cold spots like shoulders or arms and it is easier to get back off to sleep. Also I prefer pajama trousers completely covering my legs as I tend to get attacks of cramp if the cold get into my calves or feet. If my legs are uncovered I seem to be more prone to cramp. Nighties are not much help because the legs still get chilled. There is nothing worse than hopping around the room naked and screaming in the early hours. |
