How to Enjoy Feeling Like a Kid Again (When Wearing an Adult Blanket Sleeper as an Adult Wearer)

Some kids just feel annoyed when they wear a blanket sleeper. However, some kids just cherish the time when they wear their sleeper. If you had to give them up for some reason as a kid, and now (as an adult) want to relive that same dream, this article can tell you how to enjoy doing so. so you can transition you into this new lifestyle fairly easily and quickly.

Steps

1. 1
   Purchase an adult blanket sleeper at an offline store. Purchasing one at an offline store, will give you that kid-like feel that you'll instantaneously know you're missing.
   • Choose the blanket sleeper based on the closure system style that best replicates the ones like a children's version. Most-common child-sized blanket sleepers include a ankle to neck length zipper closing, so try to shoot for the zipper closing. It's not easy to get accustomed to buttoning them with buttons, when kids versions don't generally have this type of closure system attached to them.
   • Choose the blanket sleeper based on the blanket sleeper color (if there are different colors and styles available to you).Baby blue/aqua and baby pink/purple are the two most-widely chosen choices for this style of garment, Use yellow, if neither of the other two choices are available, or if neither of the two choices appeal to you. Especially in the case of the yellow colored ones, choose to have an applique sewn onto the garment (if available).
     • If all else fails, choose one that has a hood and/or mittens firmly attached to it.
   • Plan for a blanket sleeper garment that will fit loosely over the entire length and width of the wearer's body. You'd never want something that is supposed to make some feel like a kid again, to be so tight they don't fit into it. If it was too tight, they'd be more like to escape from it much quicker.

2. 2
   Step into the garment, the moment you get inside the door and realize that no one else will see you.
3. 3
   Recognize the child-like feeling of what it was like, trying to use this type of garment again. Once you get into the garment, you'll recognize that the same warm and fuzzy feeling has now instantaneously returned to you when you are inside it, and you'll potentially want to continue wearing it. Few people want to step out of it after letting the idea settle in their mind after a few seconds, minutes or hours.
4. 4
   Feel proud when you wear it. Make others realize that it was only your choice to wear it, and that if other people don't like to see you wearing it, let them clearly know that they too, can try to enjoy life with the same kid-like feeling when they wear one for themselves too.
5. 5
   Know that you'll never have to get out of the blanket sleeper, unless you choose to, or unless another activity forces you to remove this garment.
6. 6
   Explain to your other family members or relatives who still might be pondering your decision to wear one, that it is a privilege to wear a pair of blanket sleepers at your age, and that you should take all the responsibilities that come with this privilege when you wear a pair.
   • Most parents will want to know why you have chosen this route again. Tell them that: If a child can wear one, well, so can you.
7. 7
   Recognize the secure feeling the sleeper gives you when you wear one. It may be hard to describe in words, but if you can see life through a younger person's viewpoint, realize that this can be beneficial to making you see the light from their viewpoint too.
8. 8
   Plan to sleep in on the mornings that you are wearing it, and on these mornings when time restraints don't place a burden on your schedule. Holidays and weekends for most people are crucial points when you can wear these blanket sleepers , and if you ever get a "day off" from school or work during the week, then this will be another practice night in becoming accustomed to wearing one like a kid again.

Tips

• Plan on choosing a blanket sleeper that includes slip-proof bottoms on the garment's feet. Most sleepers for kids use Jiffy-Grip bottoms, but you have to go with your gut instinct in knowing what type to use, as you'll likely use them more than "a bit too often" (It'll be second-nature for you to consistently use them after awhile, and you will want to feel safe when you wear them.)
• Despite popular belief that some parents try to instill on their child in the child's later toddler years, most kids actually enjoy using their blanket sleeper. Just ask any child of toddler age whether or not they'd want to continue wearing them, and you'll potentially hear their real answer. Their answers might very well surprise you!
• Although there are two types of sleepers made for adults, only a small variety of offline stores actually sell them to adults. If you look far enough around, you'll find some stores offline and online that will match the customer's personalized specifications to make a sleeper that fits your lifestyle into achieving the best end result possible.
• Consider wearing them to bed during the spring, summer and fall months too. Fix other temperature-controlled devices in the house to plan for these clothes that normally keep you warmer in the cold climate, to avoid becoming overheated (and what could be later, dehydrated) as a result of this garment's constant use.
• Purchase at least two copies of the sleeper. People know that medical accidents/illnesses can strike in any season and with any type of weather. Save yourself the anger of having to get undressed for long periods of time(and thereby not making you feel proud as a kid), and buy them in multiples of two or more.
• Try to smile as you go about your daily chores or tasks, if some well-known friends and family members ask you why you are began to wear them like a kid again. These people don't understand the amount of fun they are missing out on, when they aren't wearing them at night again. You're smiling may make them try the idea out for themselves.

How to Tell the Differences Between the Different Styles and Options of Adult Blanket Sleepers

Ever been to a store that sells adult blanket sleepers when you realize, "are these garments really for me? Can I get used to them again?" Well, with a little knowledge of the differences, you can make a blanket sleeper work on your body. This article can tell you how to get the right one for your proper body.

Steps

1. 
   1
   Take a good look at the garment. Although most blanket sleepers are made of a one-piece set, there are some that are 2-piece. If it is a two piece set, you'll see that one half is a shirt-like piece, while another is a pant-like piece.
   Ad
2. 
   2
   Take a look at the substance used to close the garment. These garments may use either zippers, Velcro, buttons (with buttonholes) or some other closure system.
   • If this garment uses zippers, take a good look at how far down the zipper reaches. While all children's blanket sleepers terminate near the child's ankle area, there are only a few blanket sleepers for adults that come relatively that close to terminating there. Instead, in most adults' blanket sleepers, you'll likely find them terminating at about chest-high height. About 10-15% will terminate most of the way down in adult sizes.
     
3. 
   3
   Look at the garment's footings. While most popular blanket sleepers come with feet, there are a few out there that don't. It's a pick-and-choose world, and you'll be lucky if and when you pick a sleeper with these feet on/in them.
4. 
   4
   Look at the bottom of the garment's feet. Some have a non-skid fabric attached to them, while others don't. It may not be too common for companies to call this white non-skid surface by it's common name, but some companies still use them in their adult products. The white surface is called JiffyGrip. Almost all child's blanket sleepers will come with JiffyGrip on them, as most parents find it the most-suitable idea for their child's safety.
   • Some now come with vinyl instead of JiffyGrip, and some even decide to go without. But it's preferable that all people should have some non-skid surface on their blanket sleepers. Look for this feature in a product.
5. 
   5
   Look and consider the fabric type the sleeper is made of. Some sleepers that are sold are warmer than others. The warmer the sleeper is, the more comfortable the user is, and more apt the user may be to wear them again on the next consecutive night. But the heavier the material may make it uncomfortable when the wearer is trying to consider this type of garment as "normal".
6. 
   6
   See if you can spot an applique on the sleeper. While almost all child's sleepers come with appliques on them, some adult blanket sleepers sold offline will tend to come with appliques on them. At online stores you can ask for these as an optional feature, and therefore for a few extra spare cash parts.
7. 
   7
   Look at the top of the garment for a hood. While most infant and child blanket sleepers come with a hood attached, there are many adult blanket sleepers where you are deprived of one. Some companies, especially those sold online, have made it commonplace to use a hood on their product. But these companies are few and far between that do.
8. 
   8
   Look at the drop-seat drawer area of the garment. Some adult blanket sleepers now come with a drop seat area that can better help the user without fully having to undo their sleeper so they can use the toilet and still be able to keep warm everywhere else on the body. Almost no child blanket sleeper comes with these feature, as most children are either potty-training or they are still in diapers, and what good would it be to have something that would never be used on a child?

Tips

• Blanket sleepers are almost never "one size fits all/most", and are almost always sized in Small/Medium/Large (alphabetical texted) sizes. They never will be suited in numerical sized types.
• Consider your size (including your weight and height) when picking the right size sleeper for your build. If it's not comfortable, you're more likely to return the garment. Always buy one size bigger than your traditional size you would traditionally buy for your shirt size.
• 
  It's not just women and girls who are wearing blanket sleepers; some men and late teenage boys are wearing them again! too

How to Attend an Adult Blanket Sleeper‐Themed Slumber Party

Every once and a while, a sleepover/slumber party will come up. But how should you respond to the offer and prepare for the party, if the theme is of "blanket sleepers"? Well, this article will help prepare you for one.

Part 1 of 2: Preparations

1. 
   1
   Prepare to respond to the slumber party invitation. Unless you have a really good explanation as to why you can't go (not just that you aren't courageous yet to show off your cool blanket sleeper to your friends), consider going to that party. Write a response in some form to the host. Whether directly on a sheet of paper sent via postal mail (snail mail) or on an electronic communication (such as email) or even a message left over an answering machine or voicemail mailbox, get the word out that you'll be attending that party.

2. 
   2
   Don't prepare to put much time into wishing people you may not like to not be there. People who reflect poorly on you during the day, may end up being an lifesaver at night (should something happen)! Go with the flow!
3. 
   3
   Prepare to do some shopping. Although many superstores like Wal-Mart and Target tend to sell blanket sleepers often, you'll often need to turn to do the shopping in the non-peak months online instead.
4. 
   4
   Purchase at least 1-2 blanket sleepers. You'll need the one, as you enter through the host family's door. Two are highly encouraged (in the case of accidents), however one sleeper is always the bare minimum amount you'll need when you attend a party such as this one.
   • Allow the blanket sleeper to be brought home, whether through mail (for online purchases) or via a transportation mode for other offline purchases.
5. 
   5
   Consider purchasing other gifty items to bring with you. Whether these gifts are in the form of food for your friends and you, or are of other miscellaneous themes, make each of these gifts unique.
6. 
   6
   Consider not picking out any other items for the party. Blanket sleepers are warm enough (and cool enough for some seasonal variations) to wear. Therefore, an additional blanket isn't recommended to be brought.
7. 
   7
   Boost your courage/morale for the party. It'll take a bit more to wear something you aren't fully courageous enough to wear out in public, but once you get to know and accept those things, you'll wear them, and will never want to take them off (not even for a second).
8. 
   8
   Ask your parents, if they know of any other relatives (family members), who would like to also attend. However, let them know that at least one of their uninvited members must also wear a blanket sleeper of some sort.
   • All members who are between the 5 months-6/7 years, must wear some sort of disposable pant, and whether that be a disposable diaper, a disposable potty training pant (regardless of whether or not they are potty trained or not), or a disposable bedwetting diaper (as accidents do occur, but before things show, it's best to protect and cover up with one or two during the night either way), one must be worn by all these children who attend.
   • Also realize, that if these children can attend, they must be supervised by an additional parent at all times! (However, the parent doesn't HAVE TO wear a blanket sleeper, but is highly encouraged to wear one!)
     • You the invitee, and anyone else over the minimum age for the party children, are not exempt from not wearing a blanket sleeper (as that is the theme of this slumber party).
   • Contact the host's family, to make sure that this party has been planned and accepted by the host's parents. Some may not even realize that it is standard fare to allow these others into the host's house.

Part 2 of 2: Party Time!

1. 
   1
   Arrive at the host's house more than one half hour before the designated time on the card, unless there are more members from your family that are going.
2. 
   2
   Let the host know of any allergies you may have to pets (animals), even if you as much as suspect an unintended animal may be nearby that you are allergic to.
3. 
   3
   Ask the host what the plan is, if a fire emergency arises during the slumber party/sleepover.
4. 
   4
   Locate an acceptable spot on the floor that seems deemed to fit you. Keep the locations of your friends in mind, but be careful as not to step on anyone as you move around the floor.
5. 
   5
   Keep the route to the restrooms in mind, if you tend to warrant stress not too well or have stomach symptoms caused by stress.
6. 
   6
   Plan on changing into your blanket sleeper when you arrive, if you didn't consider wearing it to the host's door when you first arrived.
7. 
   7
   Plan on staying the entire night. Although some may criticize you for dressing differently, once they become less churlish and see how they themselves feel when they too wear ones, they'll see why you have began to re-enjoy them after a period of non-use. They'll stop bothering you, and accept your appearance that night, should they too feel the need to get up and use the facilities (or other issues).

Tips

• You'll have to judge an adequate cool temperature for your area, at which just the sleeper is adequate to use without an extra blanket and sleeping equipment.
• For those who are thinner or shorter, some teens may still even fit into the biggest-sized small-child ones available there also.
• By standard fare, these slumber parties should only be done in winter. However, with proper adjustments in the host houses' cooling system, these can be done in summer months too.
• Floors with wall-to-wall carpeting are better to use for sleepovers of this type than those using hard wooden floors.
• For those unexpected very-young guests, use alternate sources of bedding. If there is an unused baby crib in the house and you figure there is a possibility of babies coming, roll it into an area and provide the adult chaperone to sleep on an alternate bed nearby. Toddlers and young school-age children however, should use these alternate beds instead of the floor in any and all cases.
  • Sofas also make wonderful beds, but minimize the possibility of their use.
• If you forgot to pack at the last minute and one of the things you forgot to pack was the blanket sleeper, you may end up asking the host for one. Most hosts should have thought about purchasing a few extras as "just-in-case" measures, but don't plan on making this packing issue a routine to every slumber party the host has with this theme. These are just friendly favors that friends can borrow off of other friends who can borrow off others, etc.
• Although you should plan on finding sleepers of one-piece zippered style, you can also allow anyone who has the two piece (with feet) to enter the room, along with those that are one piece but only have leggings down to their ankles and don't cover the feet).
• You don't even need to bring a blanket sleeper at the start, if you are planning on packing light. You can wear one right at the start.
• Although boys tend to shy away from wearing things deemed inappropriate for their age, there are some that are willing to re-try things again, that were once deemed acceptable for their age.
• Contact the host in the mere case you don't know what to bring to the party. They may have a list of good gifts to bring that they need others to bring to plan a great slumber party. However, don't forget to pack your blanket sleeper.
