Self cleaning pyjamas

No-wash pyjamas - yes really!

There is a new health-tech company who have designed some His and Hers pyjamas which don't need to be washed!
They are infused with anti-bac copper ions which make them self cleaning!

They are supposed to be able to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and fungi and you can wear them for weeks on end.

So what do you think about this new idea? Would you buy them?
What next - no-wash bedding, and undies??


See here: copperclothing.com


Personally, I cant see why. How hard is it to stick your jim-jams in the wash? What would wearing copper next to your skin every night do?

Re: Self cleaning pyjamas

Odour resistant fabric isn’t manufactured for the supreme lazy, nor is it made to never be washed. It’s made for those with medical conditions which cause body odour like;

⁃ Bromhidrosis
- Athletes Foot
⁃ Hyperhidrosis
⁃ Diabetes
⁃ Thyroid disorders
⁃ Kidney failure
⁃ Liver dysfunction
⁃ Metabolic disorders like trimethylaminuria or TMUA
⁃ Hormone imbalances


Fabrics like this help those with any of these disorders and anything which helps others feel more confident and better about themselves, I’m game for.
Great article Mups.
Thanks for posting it.

Re: Self cleaning pyjamas

I'd never heard of it before, Bratti.

The article I read didn't say it was anything to do with odour reducing for illness though, I thought it was just for cleanliness without washing.

Maybe all hospital bedding will be made like that one day if the copper kills viruses?


P.s. sorry, I don't think the link i posted works?

Re: Self cleaning pyjamas

I think there is nothing nicer than freshly washed, line dried, clothing and bedding - so, no, I would not buy them, Mups, but it is an interesting concept.

Re: Self cleaning pyjamas

No thanks. No matter how valid the claims are, no matter how much evidence there is that they work, I would simply not feel clean wearing something next to my skin for weeks on end without washing.
