This wouldn't help me anyway, because my hands are what get cold. THANK YOU!!! :) My thought exactly EVERY time I see this! or you can just turn your robe around & put your arms through the sleeves. I haven't laughed so hard reading a thread! That with the Snuggie would be out of control. If you lived in a cold and snowy area you may find some use for it, but I know you don't and I think cutiepatootie lives in Southern California, where it doesn't spend too much time below freezing. I'd use one in the car because my seats are heated, but I just try and dress warm. It is not like the Snuggie is going to prevent you from ever getting cold, it doesn't cover you completely, it is still open in the back anways. The way my house is built there are very few pipes in outside walls, so that helps.Īnd again I say-put your robe on backwards! Get a nice thick robe, and if you're on the couch & really cold, put it on front-ways and cover yourself like that. I had a roommate for about a week of this next month's bill, but I bet it will be less in cost for even lower temps. Upstairs I use the heater for the room I am in, either the bedroom or the office, and stuff the draft dodger at the bottom of the door. If I am downstairs I use the space heater and a blanket. Since I'm living alone I have two space heaters, one for upstairs and one for downstairs, and never use the built in heaters (other than they are set at 45 to prevent pipes from freezing). We had high ceilings in our house, and we had this thing that was a series of tubes, but with a fan at the bottom, and sucked the hot air that rose, back down. I decided to make mine instead of buying them, and they were exactly the right size, plus I did some customization to make them fit. Yeah I put them on the exterior and interior doors. I could buy a designer purse every month for what I pay in the gas bill. Vandal, is that like those long skinny pillows you put at the bottom of doors? I really don't have any leaks it's just this darn big house with high ceilings. I was going to make blackout curtains but Wal-Mart was selling ready made black out curtains (nice looking ones even) for cheaper than the fabric alone. I also knit "draft dodgers" and felted them, then filled them with quilt batting for the doors and windows. Have you checked with your electric company for an energy audit? Mine does one, and it helped us (me and the landlord) get set up for the winter. When I lived in MN I had a gorgeous long wool coat that got that horrible white salt (which really isn't salt, but a bunch of chemicals) on it every time I'd lean over the car. I'm an inch away from getting one now that I got my last heating bill!! And, the above posters who suggested it for scraping car windshields of snow/ice are on target. Plus the sweatshirt material gets damp and heavy, nor is it wind resistant. I have two sweatshirts from former boyfriends I sometimes wear (when I am cleaning the car off but not going to drive it right away), but seriously, for those of us with wide or tall vehicles and short arms, it makes sense. All that salt on the coat all the time.sheesh! It could be an apron for cleaning off the car. I'm liking this idea more and more every time I have to clean the snow off my car. The old guy looks like a monk, and the one-size-fits-all concept is completely discredited when you see the kids practically drowning in them at the ball game. The first time I saw it, I couldn't help from bursting out laughing. Personally, I think the commercial hurts the product more than anything. why not just put on more clothing? Like a sweatshirt? Or a bathrobe? Or cut out holes in an already existing blanket for easy access to the remote/a book/food/your dignity? I would almost agree with you, but again. It serves it purpose while sitting there keeping warm watching tv and being a couch potato for a few hours a night. I mean I am not going to go out in public with it on and look like a cross between jedi master and or a monk, I am wearing it sitting on the fricken couch and comes off when I get up and or go to bed. However, color or print selction could be a tad bit better. Is it really a bad thing? For one who can't get warm enough during the winter months and don't like blankets slipping off of me when i reach for that remote or glass of wine while STATIONED on the couch, it really isn't all that bad.
