Right, I'm getting a onesie

Always thought adults wearing onesies was a bit infantile and embarrassing, but this winter it's going to be cold and I've stopped giving fucks.

Who knows of a good one, with a hood, warm winter-weight but ideally NOT sweaty polyester? I'm open to either plain or novelty colours and styles (I don't even mind ears/a tail if it's the right onesie).
Budget is up to about £50.
TIA.

I have this one. Offers on at mo,plus discount code if you sign up to mailing list etc.
I bought them as Xmas pressies for family one year - we all lived in them all Xmas and beyond!😂My sis used to put hers on as soon as she got in from work and also bought herself another,so she had one to wear when other was in the wash! I wore them indoors over just
underwear if weather not that cold,or over a T-shirt if colder. Wore thin leggings or tights underneath it too if walking dog in it but that was too hot to do inside the house.

Omg these are exactly what I’ve been looking for for years! But the price 😩

Not cheap, but Duns of Sweden do ones that are organic cotton and have grown-up prints.

My son loves his.

Swimzi do cotton rich adult onesies.

Look at mountaineering/caving bibs for bumflaps/zips.

Thank you! I've looked at that one, but wasn't sure cotton would be warm enough for winter (old stone house and I'm a chilly mortal!). Also they only have a medium and although I'm 5' 10" I'm a beanpole (size 8) and wonder if it'd be too big?

I think as you’re slim you’d probably be better with a Small. They are plenty warm enough - ours have a brushed cotton inside which feels soft and is toasty. Feel your pain as our house is old and is cold and very draughty in winter!

I know,the prices are steep but you’ll love it and never take it off,so it’s less alarming to just think of the cost per wear!☺️Keep an eye on the website,as they always do an offer from anytime between about now and the run up to Christmas. (That’s when I bought our pressie ones for family.)

Rosehugger · 06/10/2022 10:39

It's a pain when you need a wee. Just buy some nice warm PJs instead.

gyarados · 06/10/2022 10:52

I absolutely love my oodie - so very warm & cuddly

I think we're kindred cold spirits Grin I am probably going to buy the medium, even though it might be quite big. It's a (relative bargain), and it'll give me the option to wear bulky winter clothes under it I'm just justifying it to myself really

Great choice - be prepared to be toasty!☺️

Asda have loungewear jumpsuits at the moment. I saw this one yesterday and it’s lovely.

I picked up the stripe one just now and took a pic of that one, it's so soft

PeloFondo · 07/10/2022 13:23

Striped one and ultra soft one
I got the stripe in my usual size and I love it. 5ft 10

Right, I'm getting a onesie

There's a seller on ebay who seems to have a few Onepiece onesies which got musty in storage, for £15 each Inc postage. I've taken a punt on one. If not genuine can return. Hoping a proper wash with Zoflora in the rinse will do the trick.

Good find. I’ve ordered one so hope it’s ok.

Savage Fenty have some great ones.

This has arrived today and I love it. No idea if it’s genuine but for £15 I’m happy.

JofraArchersFastestBall · 13/10/2022 18:15

@VladsPants I've bought one too, so I'm glad you like yours. Do you mind me asking what fabric yours is made of (is it cotton or polyester?) and just how musty it was?! Thank you!

Bearsporridge · 13/10/2022 18:19

Is anyone else reading this thread and considering getting a onesie and an oldie to wear over it?

poorpaws · 13/10/2022 18:47

Wearing my new oodie now, no heating on and toasty warm. I've only had it for a week and it's been on every evening. I think you'll love it.

How on earth would you go to the loo then?!

grownup2 · 13/10/2022 20:49

I received mine from ebay - authentic and looks perfect. Seller included dryer sheets so just smells of dryer sheets. So full marks to seller but Xl size, while theoretically right for my bust measurement, was built for a giraffe. Best get some detailed sizing info from the makers before buying I think.

It’s 80% cotton. Feels and looks lovely. Nice fleecy lining. Not that musty at all but smelt strongly of febreeze or similar. It’s very long though but I noticed on the pics the onesie is kind of gathered at the ankle. Ive not tried it on yet as I couldn’t bring myself to with the strong smell. I’ve washed it and the febreeze smell has gone though so it’s drying now. Not tumble dry-able which is annoying but I’ll prob chuck it in there eventually anyway.

HTH!

Tip for going to the toilet is to wear a vest under it, then you aren't naked and freezing Grin

SoupDragon · 13/10/2022 21:00

No, you're in a vest and freezing 😂

Well yes Grin but less naked. It's like being in a top and bottoms then
Keeps my boobs under control
