What are wicking pajamas ?


There’s been much talk about pajamas for night sweats lately. So what exactly are these night sweat pajamas and how do they work?

These pajamas are made of a micro fiber wicking fabric. This fabric pulls the moisture and heat away from the skin to the outside of the fabric, so that the body stays dry and cool. The second feature of this fabric is it’s quick drying ability. Once the moisture is drawn through the fabric it dries rapidly. In fact it dries twice as fast as cotton. Cool-jams one of the most affordable brands uses a fabric called moisture wicking smart fabric which seems to sense what the body needs to be comfortable. It keeps the body cool and dry when it’s warm outside and dry and cozy when the weather gets cooler.

There are many reasons for night sweats …chemotherapy, certain medications, thyroid condition, diabetes, obesity and anxiety to name a few, but the primary reason for night sweats in women are the hormonal fluctuations which occur just before menopause and during menopause. Night sweats are not dangerous, but they can certainly be annoying.

If you suffer from night sweats for whatever reason, moisture wicking pajamas might be your answer to a comfortable night’s sleep. Cool-jams is now offering a FREE PAJAMA GIVE AWAY. Enter the contest by going to the COOL-JAMS link and then tell us which pajama or nightgown you like best by commenting on this post. The winner will be picked randomly and will be announced on August 4, 2009. Good luck to you all!!

I went to the COOLJAMS link and I liked what I saw. I am so tired of hot flashes and night sweats...I am 54 and it seems like I have experienced hot flashes for ever!!..I like the look of the Wicking Jillian 3 piece pajamas set for hot flashes and night sweats. that way you have the tank top for sleeping and also the long cardigan for when you are sitting around watching tv before retiring for the night! Thanks, Sue May16Reader@yahoo.com

It seems all who have commented so far like the 3 piece set. For me, because I have a chronic illness and am on medications that also cause sweating besides going through menopause, I'm in pj's a good part of the day. It would be nice to have the jacket over the top to be more presentable when I have visitors. I really love them.

I've purchased your PJ's before. I was most impressed that you even produce the fabric. No wonder the quality is so great and best of all they really help me sleep better at night. They keep me cool and when I sweat they dry quickly. I love the new Jennifer nightgown...very cute.
