And They Call It Snuggie Love

November 21, 2009 in Things Very Necessary

Snuggie Love So I bought my first Snuggie almost a month ago now and I think I am able to give an accurate review.  So without further ado here is my very comprehensive list of Snuggie pros and cons.  Hopefully my experience with my Snuggie can help you as you try to decide if a Snuggie would be a good fit in your life.

(Oh – in case anyone still does not know, the girl in the picture is me wrapped up in my Snuggie)

Pros:

* It is warm!  My Snuggie really does do a great job of keeping me warm but not too warm.  The perfect blanket really.

* I can use my hands!  I am writing this with my Snuggie on!  So, I am cozy and I have hands!

* You don’t know if I am wearing pants! Maybe I am, maybe I’m not – you will never know!  You also don’t know if I am wearing a shirt.  I could be naked under here and you would never know!

* The blue Snuggie is a good color for those of us with pale skin.  You know – those of us who are inside under our Snuggies anyway.

* Wearing a Snuggie to the bars is a great conversation starter.

Cons

* It’s too long!  I have almost killed myself a few times when I get up to grab something.  This may not be a problem for those of you who aren’t on the shorter side of life.

* It has no closure.  I have a very hospital gown feeling right now and I am sure that is okay.  I keep expecting some man to walk in the door with a tongue depressor and say “say ahh”.

* There is only one neckline option – turtle neck.  I think a nice boat neck or sweetheart would be nice.

* EVERYONE will talk to you if you wear it to the bars.  EVERYONE!  Especially the people you REALLY don’t want to talk to.

Overall I would say the pros of my Snuggie far out-weigh the cons, so I will keep it for a bit.  Next up I want to try wearing it to the movies like the commercial suggests.  I really think that would make getting frisky in the theatre a little easier.  I may make some fashionable modifications to it though.

Or maybe I will just get a bit drunk first.

    I have lots of comments to make about this.

    I hope this doesn’t violate our TOS (do we have one?) but that picture is the cat’s ass (which means seriously “cute” like when a cat walks away from you with that little cat walk thing they do.

    @SS: I live in Florida. The low was 76oF yesterday. How do you think that this product could benefit me? I’ll take your response in writing.

    @Chill: I was in Florida last year about this time. I froze my ass off and had to wear my winter coat from Michigan. It appears I have that effect on warm places. I will let you know next time I take a trip south so you can purchase a Snuggie and be prepared. You can thank me later.

    Chill- you can always turn your air conditioner on high so you can use your snuggie. Or just go naked under it, then it wouldn’t be that warm. Plus it’s always cold in movie theaters.

    Bells- that’s a good question, I don’t think it would violate anything though

    Virus-that is so ominous

    Chilly: It was in the 70′s here, too, but at night, a nice snuggie would not be amiss.

    If it doesn’t show cleavage, I’m not interested.

    How do I stay warm in the winter sans Snuggie or similar accoutrements? Come a little bit closer, I’ll tell you.

    @Strawberry, you are adorable. You’re snuggier than the Snuggie.

    @Bookish: What about one of those Ann-Margaret type cut-outs?

    Miss Shortcake, first of all you are completely cute in that snuggie. Tutto Carina!

    Secondly, do they make maternity Snuggies? Or are all Snuggies by nature capable of encapsulating huge bellies? Also, are they easy to clean when you drop snacks on them? These are my burning questions.

    Nicka- first of all snuggies are one size fits all. No matter what phase of breeding. Scone they are machine washable which really came it hand after wearing it to a bar
