So these popped up in my Facebook market place...

It seems the flap is only at the back Hmm

Also the fact that 190 people decided to review them yesterday saying how utterly brilliant they are without mentioning the flap is intriguing!

Was there an "insert name, these are the ones I was telling you about!!!" comment? Coz those Facebook flogging pages always seem to have them.

@Nottherealslimshady

Sex and going to the toilet. I hate that I have to take my onesie off for a wee!

This was my first thought. But my issue is it looks like you can't easily access the front so wees don't look very easy!

Also, seems unnecessarily restrictive not being able to access the vulva area even if they are for anal sex.

I am genuinely intrigued in the design process Grin

@MyMushroomsInATimeSlip

Angela Hanah was delightfully surprised by this pajama. I wonder why Grin

I wonder if the mum of the person who bought them for a Mother's Day gift was delightfully surprised too

The functional ones are known as “flapjacks” over here (Canada).

@Bvop

1. Every single review is 5*
  1. All reviews were made in the last 7 days
  2. Some uncommon names such as Lili are used over and over in the reviews.
  3. The reviews are all of a similar length
  4. The reviews make the same grammatical error repeatedly, referring to pyjamas as a singular noun.


Doesn’t strike me as a wholly convincing enterprise.

Yes definitely dodgy.

Maybe I'm missing out and they actually are the best pjs in the world though...

@slashlover

Sex. Checkout the rest of the site, even the activewear tops are mostly waist trainers.

I didn't venture that far... will have a nosey!

They are in a similar vein to the Wank Tent

Is it bad that I really want to know what a wank tent is?

I'm guessing that they might be selling them as a bit of a sex thing but they're like Victorian combinations for men which were basically a onesie in thick cotton like long jones but with a top to it as well and a flap for shitting. I've always wanted a pair (doubt I'd ever use the shithole, thobut), but the old ones, those look cheap and tacky.

Are they based on what old men wear in Western films - combinations - basically thermal underwear of the 19th century? Pretty sure I've seen them in loads of old films, usually worn by an old wrinkly cowboy/deputy who can't be arsed to put a shirt on. They are generally food-stained down the front I don't want to even THINK about what stains could be on the back! and taken off only for the annually bath in a muddy river. Flap at the back allows them to shit without undressing.

Can you tell my memory of old films will forever prevent this garment from being 'sexy' Grin?

The reviews look fake. Are there really so many people making the same spelling mistakes?
They look tight even on the model so lord knows how right they are in the average person.
I’m intrigued by the reviewer who says she got complimented on them. Who in the name of decency would wear these in front of anyone else?
The only thing I thought of was anal sex.
They look absolutely shit.

So much polyester getting all up in the crotch makes me itch just thinking about it. Grim.
I suspect this is a Chinese website and it is common for Chinese babies to wear babygrows with backflaps as they don't all wear nappies so the backflaps can be undone for when they are being held over a toilet/potty or whatever. Onesies are just adult babygrows so my guess is they've kept the backflap design as an homage. Either that or they're designed with those who enjoy a good buggering in mind.

Shagging obviously!

Its the winter version of crotchless knickers, and they are very popular amongst the members of a "specialist" FB group I am on!

Its not so much about how they look as the "big reveal".

Wait, Chinese babies don't wear nappies?? 😳
I'm afraid to click on the link in case I get spammed by adult "functional" nightwear.....

I'd wear something like these. Loose, comfy, they look warm too.

The photoshop work is shite too. Exactly the same pose for about 50 patterns, and the merry Xmas arse flap is particularly terrible.
