pyjamas vs nightdresses

[dogsarebetterthanppl]

hello, i've recently rediscovered nightdresses after years of wearing pyjamas (always nightdresses before that, and through insomnia induced boredom wondered what people tended to wear as the only other die hard nightdress fan i know is my gran. so, pyjamas or nightdresses and reasons why please

reasons:

1. feels lovely after a leg wax
2. i feel they look better
3. i have health issues which often give me bowel/bladder pain and the lack of waistband somewhat helps
4. pyjamas feel - imo - quite generic and i've always been one to go against the grain lol

Can't stand pyjamas - all that material flapping round my legs is uncomfortable. I used to like nightshirts but you don't see them often now. I just wear a t-shirt and knickers as can't stand my legs and feet covered up, and if it is really cold I wear my jogging bottoms to keep warm.

PJs. Well, PJ bottoms with a T shirt top. Nightdresses tangle when I turn over and I find myself rotating within my clothing.

Pj bottoms and a t-shirt or t-shirt and boxers.
Never know when i have to get up and go.

Both, I find them as comfortable as each other. Pyjamas if I put them on in advance of bedtime though, for lounging around in.

Neither! Don’t like clothes in bed

Pajamas.
Boyfriend style in the winter and shorts/vest style in the summer.
I do have a couple of big t shirt nighties but I rarely wear them, I hate my thighs rubbing together (reminds me of when I was much bigger).

I can feel a panic attack coming on just thinking about sleeping in that! Doesn’t it trap you every time you turn over? 😟

It's not me who sleeps in it. I would imagine it doesn't though because long night shirts usually just ride up in bed.

Night dress always. I hate a pyjama waistband, they always get twisted when you move from one side to the other

I wear a nightshirt - an oversized cotton jersey t-shirt type one, usually from M&S. Always knickers and cosy socks too, I get such cold feet! I have pyjama trousers I wear for knocking about the house after work but change for bed.

Pyjamas for lounging around but always change into jersey shorts and vest for sleeping, I hate being hot in bed! Quite curious about a nightie though now considering how many of you like them.

Never understood the nightdress thing. They always ride up around my waist at night leaving me bare bottomed.

give me some long jersey PJ bottoms and and oversized tee please.

Always pyjamas, and always with long legs. I hate the feel of my legs rubbing together. I have different weights and top styles depending on temperature.

Nightdress all the way. Used to be pyjamas but as I get older, I feel I need to have more air about me down there. 😂

You need another option in your poll, for nightshirts / oversized t-shirts

I wear nightdresses - if you csll
an oversized long t shirt type thing a nightdress! I don’t want anything between my legs (don’t get why some people wear knickers) nor at my waist. However it does make it awkward if having to answer the door as I did today for a delivery - jammies would feel more ‘dressed’ I think. My son wears those flannel checked jammie bottoms and just throws a hoodie on and goes out to the shops.

I wear a cropped top style bra & cycle shorts style bottoms to stop my sweaty thighs sticking together, if it is really cold I wear a pj's top as well, I don't like the whole of my legs being covered.

I wear nighties around hone at night but take them off whilst in. Ed.. I can’t stand clothes wrapping around me!

I like a strappy nightie ( that’s what I’d know it as , anyway )
My recent best buy
Matalan call it a floral chemise ( and it’s only £12 , soft and comfy )

My legs get too hot in pyjamas. Also, the legs are never long enough. Nighties for me as I'm too cold naked.

I wear both.

I wear short pyjamas from Chelsea Peers until I actually get in bed and then the bottoms have to come off. Ever since being pregnant I can't sleep in a waistband.

If I'm feeling fancy I like a Bravissimo nightie.

After decades of wearing XL tshirts to bed, I have perfected the “jump turn” to stop them twisting around me.
It annoys DH so much!

Pyjama sets with shorts here. I've got some lovely ones from B by Ted Baker on the Next Website. I like to wear them round the house with an adult DS so a nightie just doesn't feel right for me.

I cannot stand nightdresses - they just remind me of when I was a teenager and worked for a bit in a nursing home. They are the bed wear of choice for people over 65. Nothing wrong with being over 65 of course but I don't wish to look much older than I am
