I have real issues with nightwear

134 replies

KatyMac · 12/06/2011 09:59

I do not like cartoon characters/cutesy slogans
I am not some sort of vamp in black/red/purple shiny nylon with scratchy lace
I don't really do pastels
I can only afford a tenner or so

So while Tesco had it's sale on yesterday I thought I'll buy a nice top to wear as a nighty

But I like it so much I want to wear it as a top (& it's not on the website so I can't show you); which brings me back to "I have real issues with nightwear"

I have no issues with nightwear. I sleep naked.

dexter73 · 12/06/2011 10:04

I have these.

KatyMac · 12/06/2011 10:09

Oh yes that's my other point

I am big busted so those little thin straps hurt my shoulders

Naked, hmm, when it's very hot maybe; but my house is cold

I buy oversize long T-shirts (tunics I guess) that you'd normally wear with leggings at H&M, at about a tenner. They are stretch cotton, cover my bum (when I jump out of bed for a crying child) and are navy and white stripe.

ideal.

I buy PJ bottoms separately cos I like cotton. usually pay between £8-12. Sainsbos, Tesco, Primark etc all have them. Then cheap Tshirts or thick strapped vests from similar places in black or white. Don't like nighties.

KatyMac · 12/06/2011 10:29

That would work - I'll have a look in H&M

It's a bit more than you want to pay, but I have some of \link{http://www.landsend.co.uk/pp/Short-Sleeve-Knee-Length-Sleep-T~8148_59.html?bcc=y&CM_MERCH=IDX_00002_0000000339_0000000023&origin=index\these}, in various weights and lengths, which are great - last well, and are v comfy Blush

SeymoreButts · 12/06/2011 10:54

what sassy said, I buy PJ bottoms from Primark etc. and wear vests or t-shirts on top. Not sure about naked, pants as a minimum surely? I would be changing the sheets daily!

GreenTeapot · 12/06/2011 10:57

YY to naked.

You would only need to change the sheets daily if you were exceptionally sweaty or produced unusual amounts of bodily fluids, surely?

FriedaRoam · 12/06/2011 10:58

how do you itch your arse if you are naked

do you all have stinky fingers

GreenTeapot · 12/06/2011 10:59

not too cutesy

GreenTeapot · 12/06/2011 10:59

Frieda Shock I have neither stinky fingers or an itchy arse!

FriedaRoam · 12/06/2011 11:00

you must itch your arse in the night
everyone does . its the female equivalent of hard ons

GreenTeapot · 12/06/2011 11:01

inoffensive

GreenTeapot · 12/06/2011 11:02

I most certainly don't think I do do not!

I find the vest tops really stretch when you sleep in them. I had to buy a size 6-8 top so that when it stretched it would fit me. I am a size 12!
