15hr flight

[thesleepyhoglet]

Off on a very long flight soon. I'd like to find something comfortable to wear. Any suggestions. I can go into my nearest city tk browse but would rather find something online. I was thinking some sort of tracksuit type thing but can't find anything suitable- I don't want to look like sporty spice!! But equally lounge wear searches produced sets that are basically pjs.

used to fly a lot.

never dresses
always something that's comfortable enough to sleep in
preferably natural fibres
always good shoes you can walk for hours in

@Carriemac Hope you like them! My favourite colours are the black and grey. Nice to go braless but have some support (I'm flat chested so it's all the support I need). Also hate when you can see bra straps under vest tops.

@stardust777 Me too , big cotton pants and a vest top with hidden bra , cashmere socks and sliders for walking around - perfect . I'm going UK- east cost , west coast , east coast then home in 2 weeks so need my travel comfort . Noise cancelling headphones and a drowsy sleep
Mask too.

The case for my defence. Then I'm going to leave it there.

1. I take my underwear (bra and knix) off on a long flight (as does another poster) for the same reason I take my underwear off when I go to bed. I don't do cartwheels down the isles or wear a short dress. If I had vaginal secretions so heavy that they went through a fairly average dress fabric onto an aircraft seat I would see a doctor. I wouldn't wear trousers/jeans without knickers either.
2. Any dress I fly in goes in the wash on arrival; on, say, a flight to Singapore (my regular route) , I would have had the same dress on for almost 24 hours, when you take into account time in airports and travelling to/from home/destination. Ask ground staff about the waft they get when aircraft doors are first opened when a fully laden wide bodied aircraft has landed. Most people wouldn't give anything they had flied in a second wearing except perhaps something like a cardigan.
3. @QuestionForHelp , you are more likely to be involved in an accident in a car or on a bus. Aircraft evacuations are very rare, in addition cotton, linen and viscose are fabrics which easily catch fire.
4. @JustWhatWeDontNeed - you are so right about aircraft loo floors. The seats are often not much better either. Just hope it's water from the (inadequate) handbasin.

@StarlightLady
Normal vaginas have secretions. That's how they keep clean. Depending on the time of the month the discharge can be thin and watery or thick and mucousy

No idea why you think women need medical assistance for normal discharge

You may not have much but many women do.

For most of us the mere risk of discharge seeping through into a cotton dress would be not a risk worth taking. Sitting for 15 hours increase the risk.

Many women also leak a little urine.

It's weird that you remove all your underwear in a public space just because you do it in bed. There are many things I do in bed at night that I wouldn't do on a plane. Masturbate for example.
Give my dh a blow job is another

This. Plus a fine face mist because it makes you feel instantly refreshed. And individual wrapped moist cotton face towelettes, always!

I get taking off your bra at a push but why your knickers ?

I couldn’t do that. It would feel so weird.

If you mean a spray type product, can I respectfully ask that you go to the toilet to use it ? Spraying products in the confined space of a plane can set off asthma in other travellers. Even if you think the product is lovely / just fine / all natural etc.

The people near you are trapped and can’t get away from breathing it in.

Ive had an asthma attack from the woman in front spraying some product all over her clothes and hair.

Another vote for floaty dresses and cardigan for flying. I do lots of long haul flying and they’re great.

And on a long flight I pack a thin neutral long sleeve t-shirt and black leggings in my hand luggage as if there is sudden turbulence it’s easy that drink spills. I even had a child stand up behind my seat who started to throw up. It just missed me. So on a 7-24hr flight I pack my hand luggage well..

No, I mean a pure water fine mist one. Evian travel one is very good. Absolutely no perfume or a mist that would affect other passengers. And I use it in the toilet.

@CALLI0PE this one.

All bags are barcoded with airlines now so you can see where they are so don’t worry too much about airtags. Although if your flying British failways keep a bit of string attached from your bag to your wrist as I’ve never ever had my luggage on arrival whenever I’ve flown with them. They’re spectacularly successful at losing bags.

Yeah, people always say that “ oh but my product is special “ . You have no idea what sets off other people’s asthma or allergies - please just use the toilet for spraying.

It’s water…? Does plain water set your astmha off? And like I said, I use the water mist in the toilet.

Going commando is now akin to giving your husband a public blow job 🤣

This thread is fucking wild.

And stay away from water, because it will set some special people’s asthma off.

Goodness me, there is no comparison between giving a blowie on an aircraft and wearing a long dress without underwear, where nothing shows to others. Plenty of women do the latter on a hot summer day anyway.

Yes of course.

That "Emma Laurent" co-ord linked to before is half the price on Amazon - https://amzn.eu/d/4E5mcd1

I would choose leggings, a large cotton jumper and a business class lie flat bed.

I love this.

Do you have it, I'm wondering about the leg length. I've long legs and these would look silly if they aren't long enough.

my flight outfit:

wool! Long wool t-shirt (icebreaker) and cashmere/merino cardigan. Wool is amazing, as it is really good for regulating temperature, and it doesn't start stinking like cotton or polyester.
Some kind of pull on wide leg trousers like Saint and Sofia.
If landing anywhere warm, take a lightweight skirt/shorts to change into.
molke or M&S flexifit bra.
Flight socks definitely.
Cashmere pashmina.

eyemask, the ones that have padded eye holes are the best.
Noise cancelling headphones/earbuds.

These are all the rage in my 92 year old aunt's care home. Comfortable, easy to get on and off and to wash.

Those will literally drop to the floor when in the toilet

The suggestion of tucking into socks someone mentioned to me could work, but not with my current crop of wide leg trousers which dont have elasticated waists, they are button and zip, once they're undone, they fall right down, so the bottoms might be tucked in but the waist would fall to the floor.
