Just go naked!!! ?

JayH I've pm'd you!

OP, I'm with you on this one. I find M&Co stock a nice range, from practical to pretty/slinky and a good range of sizes.

I don't wear anything to bed - I'm warm blooded but do wear pjs for lounging and wandering round the house.

I buy them in Florida when we go on holiday. The Americans all seem to wear nightwear of some description so there is a lot more choice, in a greater range of sizes and lots of things without motifs. Grown up nightwear

Dont wear anything ...

Oh dear! Nothing slinky for me. I always wear pyjamas, cotton or polycotton. I can't stand nighties rucked up around my backside. No slogans or pictures often checks. I am sitting here in my dressing gown and my navy PJs with white dots.
I am really nesh and I seem to go into hibernation mode when I sleep and I generate no extra heat at all. I think I must have dormouse genes some where in my DNA.

I buy silky nighties from M&S ribbon straps or slightly wider they come to calf length and I have also bought one just to the knee. They come in pretty prints. I wouldn't wear cartoon characters either, I'm not 5! Can't stand pyjamas or anything with a sleeve. Not so much choice as previous years I see they do similar in BHS

Used to be happiest sleeping without, but now it's a cotton, sleeveless nightie, preferably white with a square neckline. Does that sound a bit neurotic?? Not cotton jersey or tee-shirt like material. I once had to go and buy and wear a long sleeved and high necked Winceyette nightie when I had to be dressed as Grandma from 'Allo, Allo - don't ask! I thought I would suffocate. Couldn't begin to think about pyjamas! Do you wear them with knickers? I feel hot just thinking about things around my waist - or what's left of it.

Aaaah, now I get it!!

I could do with a better looking one FarNorth, it's getting a bit the worse for wear these days.

Well I live in a cold climate in winter- and can't bear to sleep with the window closed- or I get a headache. So a good duvet and a good cotton nightie, yes.

Yes petra I too used to be happier in the nuddy but nowadays I feel cold if I don't wear something substantial, preferably with a collar to avoid draughts round the neck.
Men's nightshirts can be good, rather than a nightie.

Birthday suit, crun?

.....is that why it's hairy?

"moles" crun?

I could do with some better looking nightwear, mines all hairy and wrinkly, and covered in moles.

I'm with you petra

I would genuially like to know why people wear anything in bed. Is it because your cold, not comfortable naked. It's always felt wrong to me to wear anything.

I buy pj bottoms cos they tend to have stripes/spots/stars/checks as a pattern if anything at all. I find the tops in pj sets too short for lounging around in. I imagine they are on the shorter side because they're better for sleeping in?! I pair my new "lounge pants" with old t-shirts, the ones you've worn until they've lost their shape & are a bit faded! I have twice as many tops cos I change them every day or every other day, another reason pj sets wouldn't work for me!

I would love to find a truly long nightie and dressing gown. I am 5ft 5in but it is difficult to find garments that come down to my ankles and don't stop at my calf. M&S do some but if anyone knows of a supplier then please let me know.

I gave up on nightdresses when I was going through the menopause. I didn't like my sweaty legs sticking together! Much more comfortable in pjs.

I have various PJ's with fleecy long sleeve tops but I have to take them off to sleep I cannot abide anything rucking round me I have trouble turning over in bed and its so much easier naked.. its a nightmare if I'm away or when I was in hospital I can manage as what I have on is slippy then I can turn myself..

Can't stand PJs - I wear cotton nighties- with long sleeves and long length in the heart of our very cold winters, and short sleeves and knee length rest of the time. Plain or stripes - can't stand frills or silly patterns.
