Am a senior citizen with no muscle mass, and I'm fat. My pyjamas keep slipping despite knotting hard. Can't wear elastic due to abdominal discomfort. What other options do I have?

You have a variety of different casual/lounge wear to substitute for pyjama pants from…
a Mediterranean kaftan: kaftan to
a bathrobe: bathrobe to
a sleep robe: sleep robe to

… nothing at all (wear a smile).

Good Luck.

    Up until recent modern times, the first image was in fact what people wore to bed. Ever watch A Christmas Carol. Ebenezer Scrooge wore something ever similar. I have also seen historical forms in image 3, though a little longer.

Pyjama Party Lifehack:

The easiest solution to pyjama pants dropsy is a pair of suspenders so that your waistband can be loose but stay put for your lounge wear.

They can be as simple as you wish. You can buy a pair with clips so that you don't need much preparation. I made a pair out of three large safety pins and a length of some nice bulky soft yarn.

Here's how:

  • Use one pin for the centre of the back of the pyjama bottoms.

  • Use one pin for each side of the front.

  • Pass one end of the yarn to through the loop of the rear pin. Knot it so that it stays in the middle.

  • Pass each end through the loops of each of the front pins and tie. The yarn will now have the shape of a 'Y' with pins at each end and the middle.

  • Let the yarn hang over each shoulder to support the pyjama pants comfortably. Adjust the length to 'suit' yourself. (That was intended as a bad pun.)

Good luck.

  • Might be uncomfortable during sleeping, during the accommodation phase, but doable. Funny out-of-the-box.

  • And the next question will be: "How to I open the onesie quickly at the bathroom, if my hands are slow?" The idea is funny, I admit it, but it might be impractical in some contexts.

Look for a pair of pajamas that have a soft tie—just enough to hold them up but not so tight that they're uncomfortable. Amazon has some great options.

    Welcome to the site. Maybe you can add some detail, what do you consider a soft tie? And why your "soft tie" is not someone else's "hard tie"? And a picture might help too.
