A mask, a backpack, Victoria's Secret, sleeping on my side!

RosemaryB · Post by **RosemaryB** » Mon Jul 02, 2007 9:18 am

OK, this seems to be working REALLY WELL to keep me sleeping on my side.

I got a backpack, stuffed a pillow in it and put it on. There's no way I can roll onto my back with this on. The first night I tried a small soft pillow and it worked pretty well, but I could still backroll. Last night I tried a bigger firmer pillow and no way could I roll onto my back.

The backpack very small, is made of thin nylon (I got it free when I signed up for an Audubon Society membership). So, it's not too bulky to sleep with it on.

The straps were chafing in front, so I put on a satin Victoria's Secret short gown that has cap sleeves. This way the straps kind of glide around and are less binding. This is relatively cool for summer. (Sorry guys, if you want to try this, you'll have to figure out a different kind of shirt. Do they make satin t-shirts?).

So now, I go to bed wearing my mask, with my mouth taped, a short satin Victoria's Secret nightgown, and a backpack that says "Audubon" on the back. What can I say? It's a "look."

I can only hope I never have a fire in the middle of the night. I wouldn't want to have to explain this get-up to the neighbors .

OK, the post title sucked me in and the content delivered

The image is making me smile.

What a visual! A sense of humor in all this really helps, doesn't it!

P.S. I understand about not wanting to have to leave the house in an emergency in your "getup". I had to leave quickly in the middle of a bitter winter night due to a fire. Since I was nearing menopause, I dressed like it was summer year round. Shivering and jumping up and down because the ice was painful on my bare feet, I retained enough vanity to dodge the news camera crews. I would have just been embarrassed, because I kept no "secrets" that night. You - well, folks would be rather perplexed at your choice of role play gear. Thanks for the chuckle.

Thanks for the smile, Rose. I'm glad it works for you. We do what we have to do, don't we?

ROFL!!! What an image! As the parents of a toddler I can tell you that if I showed my husband this he'd say 'Ohhh...a Dora the Explorer thing going on...'! Anyone with kids will understand that...LOL!

Humorous or not...SO glad you're finding something that works for you!!

He's 22 mos...and he thinks 'baapaaaa' (backpack) is really cool! Dora ranks in the top ten...but the Wiggles are definitely in the #1 spot. Can you believe I spent almost $100 to get he & I tickets to see them?!! I don't even spend that on concerts for ME anymore!! LOL!

I DO believe it since we just spent a little more than that for the whole family to see THOMAS THE TRAIN (!!!!!!!) in person!

We're at the point where we're buying tickets to the Police for the whole family - and I'd give a million to be back buying tickets for Disney on Ice.

Enjoy them!

Out of curiosity, was that subject a sociology experiment?

Sorry, but I've already been contacted by VS about the photos. It's looking like I'll be featured in their new Fall CAPwear line ads. I'm keeping the photos "under wraps" for now pending contract completion. VS discovered that cpap use restores sexual health by reading this forum and decided to reach out to a new demographic. . .

Market research. There's a new demographic out there, CPAP users.
