Why do women as they age from teenagers stop wearing nightgowns?

Do you have a reason you do not wear them? or a reason you still do? Why as you get older you tend to start wearing them (granny gowns, lol)

i still wearing them.. it's comfortable.. wear loose will help me sleep well..

Huh? You phrased that weird.

I think older women wear nightgowns more because it is what their generation has pretty much always worn. My mom is 56 and wore mostly nightgowns up until like about 5 years ago when I bought her a set of PJ pants and a matching tank top. Now all of her pajamas are pant-shirt sets because they're just more comfy.

You try putting on a dress, then sliding into bed. You'll wind up with it bunched up around your middle. Not so comfortable.

I don't wear anything to bed

young girls are proud of there body's.. because there skinny with a nice body. the sexy nigh things young women wear are sexy .when women become older there body's are not as attractive. or they feel less attractive.. and they also want comfort when they sleep

Ew, never for me.

I will always sleep in my panties.

=]

I don't know any teenagers who wear nightgowns. How did you gain this information? *raised eyebrow*

I enjoy wearing nightgowns/slips because I hate the feeling of stuff on my legs trapping them. I move a lot and get tangled in pants. (it's a gift and a curse really. hee hee)

Well when's the last time you saw a nightgown designed and made for a teenage girl/young woman? Can't wear it if no one makes it.

I think most women wear PJs because it's just easier with them because you can be comfortable in them just lounging in the house.

I'm a young woman, probably much younger than you silly. When its cold I wear what you define as 'granny gowns' because they are warm and comfortable.

and btw why do you start taking viagra at age 29, and why do you wear pajamas.

i find nightgowns uncomfortable.

I never worn a night gown aka a **MOO MOO****. I sleep in a t-shirt and pajama bottems. LOL.

Kay Kay

maybe for the same reason old geasers wear their white boxer shorts and shrunken muscle undershirts that are so short, their huge hairy beer bellies slide right on out...

ITS comfort.. pure comfort!....

Clothes have to change as you grow. It's not appropriate when a 60 yr old wears short skirts because it doesn't look right.

Anyway, I don't wear night gowns. I always wear regular pjs, just the tshirt and pants.

My mom wears nightgowns...not the like risque ones...but one...i'm guessing cus eventually we will have children and don't want them to see anything less than... us with our clothes on...

or we may not feel as sexy anymore...

i'm 20...and i wear night gowns... i don't think i'll stop. the sexiness of them may fade a little. But i like to go to bed feeling sexy...

I've never been a night-gowny sorta gal. I'm one of those HUGE t-shirts ones. I really like wearing my husband's shirts cuz they smell like him...^_^

But even before that...I had extra big shirts just for me!

i dont like nightgowns... they arent very comfortable and i just dont like sleeping in them... i think even when im older i will never sleep in them yuck...

it's an age old question

but really you have to look at it from both side

1)do they have any reason besides advertizing campains, mothers advice and tradition (fitting in with the crowd)

2)do they look better with it?

what are they doing?

trying to piss guys off or please them

or are women so wierd that they would do it for any wierd reason that has nothing to do with guys

chivalry i tell you

chivalry

I still wear nightgowns, they are more like cotton slips though. I hate wearing pants to bed, they get all bunched up around my knees by the time I wake up.

because they can. nightgowns are annoying. it comes with having privacy.

um, well, being a teen, i never wore a granny gown

never plan to

i dont cuz i like wearing boy boxers or sweats with a tank or a T.

i honestly would never think to wear a gown, they would bunch up

and also cuz i like to look cute when i go to bed.

my bf likes to come over and surprise me in the morning [=

Well not many people i no where them, I guess PJ's are just in : )

the reason i don't wear them is because i get twisted up in mine while i sleep...i tend to toss and turn sometimes, and i get tangled up in it. i hate night gowns. so now i just stick to my pj' bottom's and a t-shirt...and during the summer i usually wear a big t-shirt.

I wear pajama pants because they are more comfy and they keep my legs warm.

check it ?

they hide your body as you get older & women usually dont like their bodies when theyre older? lol idk.

I have never worn them.If you mean the horrid wynette...type ones...or even...the long cotton one with flowers on an stuff...ewwhhh...no way.Plus I always end up strangeling myself in the night as the ride up around my neck when I wriggle about to get comfy.I always wear something light and comfortable in the summer, like a chemise, or other kinds of comfy cool stuff, Im not gonna say what...for the purpose of modesty.And in the winter....satin pjs are actually quite warm....I might wear them when Im like eighty or something and I have no one to impress.!!! (lol)
