Ange Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Nighties, short sleeved, loose fitting every night of the week for me. Jammy bottoms tangle up and it just gets too hot 'down there" - maybe it's an age thing ??? My hubby has slept in the nuddy for at least the last 20 years since he ditched his South Park shorts and t shirt combo ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good job no one we actually know reads the forum any more so Dave won't know about me spilling the beans about his combo, specially as he's coming up for 60 and 20 years ago was, hmm, prolly a bit old for that ...

Do you mean bed shirts? Men can probably still buy them somewhere, but I've never noticed, because I haven't shopped for PJs or anything like it. Haven't worn PJs since I was a kid. Usually T-shirt and shorts or T-shirt and jogging bottoms. When I was a kid, we used to have cotton sheets in the summer and winceyette in the winter. No heating to speak of in those days, but a coal fire in the living room. Bedrooms were cold and hot water bottles never used. Getting into a bed with cotton sheets would have been an ordeal in the winter. Bedtime apparel for a woman - oversized T-shirt.

I had an old fashioned long nightgown, years ago. It was thrown out after a couple of nights when I woke up sort of twisted and tied up in it, because I tended to roll around in the night, and it didn’t. Why this didn’t happen to my girlfriend in her nightie was beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tehmarks Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 About the only reason that I can see for wearing clothes in bed is so you don't have to madly search for something - anything - to put on when the postman wakes you up in the morning, before he gets bored and takes your parcel back to the sorting office.

Far too hot for clothing in bed!! i used to be of that mind until our daughter was born, then i started wearing a pair of cheap footy shorts and have done ever since, thin enough to not get too hot and baggy enough to not tangle when rolling over. perhaps if she ever leaves home i shall go back to wearing nothing but a smile in bed.

Guest Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Quite like the idea of a nightshirt. Found this place that sells them, and you get a cap with it too. You'd have to have a cap with it otherwise why bother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the opposite - nothing when I'm in bed at home, jammers (well, a onesie) when on a boat. Far too many strange noises in the night from a dripping noise (tap or stern gland?), a strange "splash", a thud (was that our mooring being cast off?), a distant bang and I can't nod off again without knowing what it was (or at least what is wasn't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a child, I remember getting fresh cotton sheets on a Monday back from The Laundry, they were starched, almost painful if you got one with a seam in the middle where they had ben "recycled" We had "Piggies" in wnter, stoneware pigs that were too hot at bedtime, and stone cold by dawn, if you were doubly enlucky, they also leaked!

Or if the boat is on fire or sinking, last thing you want is to be standing naked on the towpath when the press turns ups. If the boat is on fire at least you stay warm until the fireman put the fire out by sinking the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightshirts gave real atmosphere to B&W movies involving ghosts and ghoulies Mum used to do the washing on a Saturday and we stayed well away from her. It was like some industrial process going on and tempers (my mum's) were frayed. Didn't want my life to be ended prematurely. We never insisted on a cooked meal on a Saturday..., for some reason.

I am sure i remember puting my hand out of my bunk and finding water, lots of it,fortunately it was freshwater, and it seemed someone had left a hose pipe running overnight, it's the sort of thing that happens when someone asks you to help them get to know their new boat!

Flyboy Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 I was once told that the best night attire for a female is a nighty with fur arround the bottom. Apparently this is so they can keep their neck warm. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
