AIBU to only just discover mens PJs are more comfortable than womens

[BigWellyLittleWelly]

I have two sick DC and I'm pretty poorly myself, anyway all four pairs of my PJ bottoms are in the wash or drying so I've had to pinch a pair of DH's Next mens PJ bottoms.

They are heaven. Baggy, warm, long enough to keep my toes warm as well.

I'm just logging onto my Next account to have several pairs dispatched for ME - UR behaviour?

I feel the cold something awful but have a thick duvet and a blanket on top of that if I'm still a bit chilly.

I have This. I call it The Bear. It's a JOY.

I have one that is longer that I call The Beast. I heart my Beast.

I have been wearing mens' clothes for about 20 years, it started with DMs when I was in construction. They are the best.

I am another bed nudist, but being long in the body, I always wear mens T shirts & jumpers. Much nicer.

This is a genius idea: I can't believe I never thought of it before! Women's pyjamas always seem to be ridiculous combinations (e.g. reasonable bottoms but with skimpy vest top) or else so thin you could spit peas through the fabric. I don't usually wear pyjamas when I'm in bed, but I do wear them around the house in the mornings, and I want to be warm and covered, dammit! I'm going to check out the men's ones in Sainsbury: thanks frances for the tip!

I don't get the question. Why would you think you are being unreasonable?

Yanbu. I have men's pjs and socks. I've also acquired several of dh's t shirts which have shrunk in the drier.

I have two pairs of the TU tartan pjs frances mentioned. They are gorgeous!

DD2 (16) virtually lives in her Gap men's tartan PJs.

I've got to get some pyjamas for my hospital bag. I'm going to buy mens. The idea of sitting round the post natal ward in a nightie gives me the willies!

DH has entirely pinched my dressing gown. My lovely furry leopard print dressing gown I'm not bitter

Wearing no clothes in bed - don't you get cold?

Not when I cuddle up to my lovely warm DP!

I would totally try this, but I'm a size 8 and 5 foot 2. Do mens come in XS?

North Coast men's pj bottoms in brushed cotton from M and S are great.
Usually £19 .50 but sometimes half price if you're lucky.

I hate wearing anything in bed, I thought I was normal then we had a discussion at work and it turns out its only me and one other who sleep naked. The others all thought we were strange!

I do have pj's, I just put them on when I get up and then again when I come in from work and I take them off to go to bed

No, I don't get cold cause I have an electric blanket (not used it for ages though) and I use a 13.5 tog goose down duvet all year round. Sometimes I have cold feet and I wear socks, apparently that is even more odd.

Sayra are you my long lost twin apart from the electric blanket.

Definitely not unreasonable. Women's pyjama trousers are just too short, even when bought in extra long sizes they are too short.

Currently I am rocking (yes, rocking) a pair of man's Star Wars pyjama bottoms. They go right down to my feet, they are beautifully baggy in the leg and soooooo comfortable.

Another major plus is that for a certain type of man geek Star Wars pyjamas with a thoughtful repeated Vader/ Chewey/light sabre/Boba Fett motif are infinitely more effective than something itchy, drafty and uncomfortable from any number of specialist outfitters.

I NEVER wear anything in bed.

Where are you buying your cloud lined PJ's and ace jumpers Anne Seriously, point us in their direction.

Women's dressing gowns are better however. Men's DG's are too heavy and rough.

I sound like a right delicate little lady. You know what I mean though.

Yes coumarin velvety, not towellingy. Also women's can have hoods, men's usually don't.

Not unreasonable at all! I'm currently sporting a grey tartan Jeep pair of dh's, one of his tshirts (off the back of the bedroom door so it smells of his aftershave, he's working away again) and my Gap men's Xl hoodie that nearly comes down to my knees.
Men's pj's are loose, long, have pockets and don't have stupid designs on them.

I am also rather partial to his jumpers too. Although, I used to pinch my Dad's when I was younger so it's not a surprise really.

I'm jealous of The Beast. The Bear's only shortcoming is its... err... shortness

As a gentleman mumsnetter I have found forgone the pyjamas (I always found my legs got too hot in the night) and got a nightshirt. It is a revelation! I've never known such comfort.

.

Yabu. Love my mens pj bottoms. He sees them delivered then realises they are mine

Compo I wear nightshirts aswell, bloody comfy aren't they.

Yanbu. I don't buy any jeans. I steal them off DP.

Women's skinny jeans weren't invented for the ample of arse.
