And 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. 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.

I flew home for the holidays, and naturally, while I was on the flight, I had to skim through the SkyMall magazine. I’m looking at all of this nifty stuff when I come across… the Slanket! Same thing, more expensive, but more variety in color. I googled this thing, and apparently there are discussions going about the Snuggie vs. the Slanket.
This is getting out of hand.

WTH is Double Lash? A mascara, or a whip?

I'm on dialysis and it's always freezing in the clinics. Dialysis patients tend to feel colder, too, because of the use of Coumadin/Heparin (blood thinners) and wear layers of clothing and blankets during treatment, even on the hottest summer days. I can see how the Snuggie could be useful, particularly for people who have an access in their arm. Not a consideration for everyone, I know, but if you're going through a treatment like that, you don't care if you look like a dork or a monk.

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. 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 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. Plus the sweatshirt material gets damp and heavy, nor is it wind resistant.

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. I also knit "draft dodgers" and felted them, then filled them with quilt batting for the doors and windows. 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.

My friend said on Facebook yesterday that she was buying the Snuggie.
I told her that if she did, we're not friends anymore. LOL

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 could buy a designer purse every month for what I pay in the gas bill. grrrrrr.

There's an "As Seen On Tv" product for that too...though it lacks the hilarity of the Snuggie.
