So, how'd 'you go to the toilet In a onesie?

I had one for about a week and could not tolerate this. Warm? Yes! But I could not accept the arms flapping into toilet bowl whenever I needed to strip it off to take a leak..

How are you managing to deal with this?

I ask because by the looks of things the shops are still full of them, which suggests they're very popular.

Also.....surely it is too cold to strip like that every time you go.....
And where do you tuck the upper body/arms?

One of the many reasons I would never wear one, utterly stupid design, nippy noodles all round.

Could accept if there was a sort of 'popper fastened' hole in right place though.

Maybe

I wear a vest under mine.

I learned from bitter experience to make sure that the arms are not dangling in the toilet, eeeeewww.

ToastedTeacakes · 23/12/2013 10:20

Admittedly, last summer I wore a short play suit and simply dragged the crotch apart to take a pee. Not so with long legged suits..

The design was intended to be worn by those still in nappies.

Xmas Grin burnishedsilver. I hate the things, even on children.

NoMoreMarbles · 23/12/2013 11:24

Wear a vest under and when you are taking it off to go the loo pull the arms inside out so the arms are tucked in and push the onsie to the floor so it's pooled by your feet. No wet sleeves and no frozen nipplesGrin

I only own one onsie and rarely wear it tbh but that's my strategySmile

BitchyFestiveFace · 23/12/2013 11:28

Well, I only wear mine in the evening, so from around 6pm till midnight. I just make sure I go for a wee before putting it on, then generally don't need to again till I'm taking it off for bed.

If I do, though, it's just a case of pushing it right down to my ankles - no arms in toilet bowl! Yes it's cold, but only for 30 seconds, don't be so nesh Xmas Grin

I love mine Xmas Smile

Ooh I drink a lot of tea so my toilet trips are frequent!

I hate the thought of wearing them... cute (ish) on slim, pretty models, but not so much on those with post-baby jelly-bellies (especially post-twin-ones!!)...

Vickisuli · 23/12/2013 17:16

This is exactly why I would never wear one. I have bought one for my daughter for Xmas as she really wanted one but I'm fairly sure the novelty of having to get completely naked to do a wee will soon wear off and start to be a pain. As someone else said this design of clothing was made for people who wear nappies (and theirs have poppers round the bum!)

Bluecarrot · 23/12/2013 17:18

I thought they were alternatives to dressing gowns for lounging about ie, you wear pjs under them and take onesie off as you get into bed. No?

Hohohowhatfuckeryitis · 23/12/2013 17:43

We'll personally I go in a toilet, but if you are in a rush....Smile

Shaky · 23/12/2013 23:25

Marbles I will adopt your technique immediately, I don't know why I didn't think of that, thank you

MrsCakesPremonition · 23/12/2013 23:37

The gap between the last pair of poppers is at exactly the right height for DS to simply stick his willy through the hole at all times and wee.

From this I have deduced that onesies are designed for 5 yo boys.

HereIsMee · 23/12/2013 23:43

I'm guessing you'll have to wear a nappy Grin

confuddledDOTcom · 24/12/2013 01:18

Funnily enough I had this conversation this evening, I refuse to wear them on the basis I will want a wee at some point!

ToastedTeacakes · 24/12/2013 12:56

I would indulge in some of those fleecey ones if they had crotch poppers.

I'm single so nobody can criticise c'ept my cat ;)

I wear onesies as loungewear and of a day or evening I unzip and hold the wrists of the onesie on my lap if I need to pee! Much easier than wearing a dressing gown and having the belt accidently dangled in the lavatory!

Of a night I don't wear a onesie and I don't need to get up and pee, thankfully.

I have one where the zip at the front continues half way down the inside of one leg. If I unzip it fully, I can take my leg out and lift the whole thing up out of the way.
