Great Sleep Shirt for Traveling!

The shirt is comfy, even if the design is a little too bold for me to wear in public! Order at least one size larger than you normally wear (two if you can)!

More sizes available than other places!

extremely useful review
As far as (free) t-shirts go, I have seen and owned worse! The first thing that caught my eye when considering this shirt were the available sizes. Anyone who (anyone over a regular size Large anyway) has ever tried to obtain an offer for a free shirt from other adult stores may have run across the issues I have been plagued with as a plus size gal, they only carry up to a size Large! This one is available up to a 3XL, woohoo! Now, I did get the 3XL, even though I am not wearing quite so large these days. I did that for two reasons; first, I figured my partner might want to wear it when he plays pool (it’s a fun shirt he could wear to the bar) Secondly, I figured I wouldn’t mind puttering around the house in a “too large” shirt.

When the package arrived, he wouldn’t even try it on though. Once out of the package, it appeared to be too small for either of us (prior to trying it on), I was a little worried about the sizing myself! However, it fits me perfectly, except for the neckline. I stay far, far away from round necklines as a general rule, they always seem to cut into my throat and cause irritation. A lower neckline on this would make the shape ideal for me. I wouldn’t call the cut of this shirt unisex either…the body of the shirt is very form fitting to my female curves, except where shoulder meets arm. The seam for the arm is 5 inches below where my shoulder actually is, the shoulders are cut for someone much more broad-shouldered than I am. For the men who like the tight fitting t-shirt look, this one is probably cut with you in mind!


The material of the shirt is quite thin, much to my surprise! I have read many reviews saying this was a thick shirt…the shirt I received is nearly see-through! When held toward a light source (light in the ceiling), I can actually see through it, during wear though my bra does not show. It is a very soft t-shirt material (100% cotton according to the site information, none was provided with the shirt). I have pajama pieces that are made from the same material. The screen-printing on the front of the shirt is fairly typical of most screen-printing I have seen. The varying colors don’t quite meet as seamlessly as they should, leaving gaps that will fall apart faster than areas that are covered better. In addition, the yellow color doesn’t seem to have been layered quite as thick as the other colors, leaving spaces that were left unpainted and the paint on the yellow is noticeably thinner than the other colors. The colors are very bright against the dark of the black shirt though.

I have been wearing this around the house and stretching the neckline for the last several days, it is nearly ready for the job it will perform in this house…travel pajama top! I will likely continue wearing it when I don’t plan on leaving the house as well. The giant saying and EF name across my boobs just isn’t something I would wear to the in-law’s house or to the grocery store. For wearing out in public, a simpler design that could incite conversation would be better in my opinion; this one just screams “I like vibrators!” to me.

I like the “tag-less” appeal of a simple small tag with only the size of the shirt on it, but care instructions would have been nice too. For now, it will go in the regular wash with everything else. Due to the smaller cut of the shirt (order at least one size up!), this will be going through cold-water washings, inside out (to save the screen-printing as long as possible), and being hung to dry over the banister with all the other shirts I worry about shrinking!
Follow-up commentary
These shirts are the most temperamental item I own! I now own five (yes, I said five) of them! Three of them I wear almost daily (one at a time though, not all at once) and two of them are stuffed in the top of the closet because they fit so tight I cannot breath in them!

I really like the thicker t-shirt material, especially now as the weather is getting colder, but there is almost no stretch to it! Thankfully, I own three of the thinner, more stretchy shirts. So, when the cats want to come cuddle with me in the morning before I get dressed for the day, it isn't a huge deal when (not if, when) they cover me in cat hair!

I wish the material used to make these was consistent...but it really seems to be a roll of the dice as to which version of the shirt you (I) get with each order! I keep getting them because they are free (yes, I'm cheap and like free things) and the ones that do fit are so comfortable that I almost don't want to get dressed!

The "too small to fit me even though they are all 1-2 sizes bigger than everything else I'm wearing" shirts have made great back up pajamas for the little ones in the family too, so far none of them have asked about the branding...they are drawn to the bold, blocky colors on the "vroom"!

    Thanks for the review Nora! I got one size XL, and found it pretty restricting, and then got a 3X and I found the material to be totally different! The smaller sizes are a thick material, while the larger sizes are really thin.Weird eh? Anyway, I too dislike the necklines like that. I feel like I cannot breath in them lol. Thanks again!

    great review, thanks for sharing. I am with you, I could not wear this outside the house either.

    I liked mine alot.
  • Contributor: Nora
    I ran across an old design contest a while ago...I wish they had released more of the styles! There are some in that post (not that I can find it now) that I really would wear out, this one is just too..."in your face" for everyday wear. Glad you liked the review though! I was in a writing mood, lol.

    I think they read all the comments about the material being different... I had gotten another 3XL so that I would have plenty for traveling and wearing at home. I packed the newest shirt as a top to sleep in while I was traveling yesterday, went to put it on last night and it was a thicker shirt with NO stretch! Ended up sleeping nude rather than in that thing!

    This disappoints me because I have a third arriving tomorrow with our order!

    I agree it would make a great shirt to travel in.

    I love the first shirt I got so much that I now own 3 of them...all in the "same size". The first fits awesome and is super comfy, the second I can't even get on it is so small, and the third fits, but is no where near as comfy as the first!

    I got a 3x figuring it would be super big on me and comfy for sleeping in, but it really does run small. I normally wear an XL and this is fitted on me. It's cute though, and makes a great top to sleep in. Mine is the thinner material so it's comfy.
