GYS Pajamas Bamboo Viscose Sleeveless Nightgowns for Women

No more sleepless nights!

I already have two of these in black and when I saw the wine color and it was in my size, I jumped at the chance. If you've ever had trouble sleeping because you are overheating or because your nightwear is trying to strangle you, this gown is exactly what you need. It is soft without being tissue thin, has awesome drape and seems to disappear from your tactile sense when you are wearing it; almost feels like it's not there at all, but in a GOOD way. It moves with you as you change positions throughout the night and you'll sleep better because you won't have to come at least half awake to throw off the covers, then again in a little while to pull them back on. Bamboo is called thermal regulating, but I think of it as temperature neutral; it's naturally cool to the touch and it doesn't collect your body heat and hold it right up against you, as does cotton. This gown is 95% bamboo and 5% Spandex. The Spandex gives it a bit more body and drape and of course, makes it stretchy, in case you like your gowns to fit like a skin; I personally don't, but that's me. Beware of items sold as bamboo viscose that are more cotton and polyester than they are bamboo; not the same feel AT ALL. Cotton actually does not breathe that well and polyester?; well, might as well wear a trash bag. Bamboo is superior in every way to any other fabric I've worn. To keep your bamboo items looking and feeling new, wash in warm or tepid water (NOT HOT), don't bleach them and PLEASE don't put them in the dryer; air-frying them ruins their shape and dramatically shortens their life. Hang the newly washed garment from a wooden, bamboo or padded hanger and let it dry on its own; it really doesn't take that long and you can be doing something else while it's drying. For panties and socks made from bamboo, place them on a bamboo clothes drying rack and let the room do the rest; they will be like new every time you launder them if you do this.
