The guy who does those infomercials is actually a VERY dirty comic. I forget his name, but if you google him, you'll see. He's got another product that chops stuff and at one point says,"You're gonna LOVE my nuts!!!"
It's pretty funny.

When my DH threatens to buy me a snuggie, I threaten him back with the Shamwow.

Those commercials really just make me laugh. I don't see much difference between a snuggie and sitting on the couch with my robe on backwards.

I'm so close to buying a Shamwow. I have a friend who has it and I'm waiting on the results.

My birthday is on Wednesday and I am so concerned that that is what he bought me - he keeps threatening me with it. LOL!! Realistically, it's just a big fleece robe turned backwards!

Ha! My SO is the same way. He went into overdrive with it right before Xmas! I told him that if he DARED bought it for me it would be the source of a bonfire in the front yard!!

I spotted one at Mama's house on Christmas day, it was still in its original package...

I pointed in horror and said:

"Where did you get that?"

Mama: "At Ross."

Me: "Seriously?" [smirks]

Mama: [in highly offended tone] I bought it for your Granny! It was only $5.99!"

and scene

[serene]

I was watching that ad on the right side and it looked like star wars were happened

Mom and I were at Bed Bath & Beyond last week and they had Snuggie and Shamwow right next to eachother....easily the hardest decision of the day. We ended up getting Shamwow...

[sinniebunnie]

They just look like robes put on backwards..

Please let us know what your friend says....because I'm ready to buy one too!

I also find it odd that my cats love that guy in the commercial. As soon as it comes on, they start watching the TV!!!!

OK, tmc, give us a report on the Shamwow, because I am seriously intrigued! I love the idea of rolling up my handwashed garments in it and having them emerge totally dry. And Denimshopaholic, that it hilarious that your cats love the guy in the commercial. Maybe they are wondering the same thing I am: why is he wearing that headset?

I don't have a Snuggie, but I do have a Slanket. www.slanket.com

My husband bought it for me last year. It's awesome. It's good quality and warm. They also support different charity organizations. I have the pink one, which supports breast cancer research.

They also offer kid's size versions, if I remember correctly.

We haven't had any extreme situations to use it to that extent YET. I'm trying to convince my mom to dump a liter of Coke on the carpet, no luck yet. So far we've used it for little spills and drying dishes, and so far so good! The one we got came with 4 little ones and 4 big ones, and the big ones are huge!! I'll have to try soaking a shirt and seeing how dry it gets with the Shamwow, updates will be given

[Kiss Me Deadly]

Yes!! I have one, I just got it actually since they were all on backorder, haha... mine is the red one and its huge so I look like a cardinal, its soooo soft and warm.. I like pass out everytime I have it on... its great!

[ShimmaPuff]

I have been thinking about this subject, and you will be dismayed to learn that this has occurred just as The Pills were kicking in good.

First of all, I really prefer the term Slanket.

It has more edge, kind of like a cross between slut and skank, so even if you didn't feel glamorous in your Slanket, you could at least feel like you were sort of snuggling on the wild side.

However, I do have some reservations.

I should have specified - I meant like if they had them in at Wal-Mart, somewhere around that $5.99 price point, where I could examine it, and make sure it was the Wamsuttaclone supersquish microplush OR as a reluctantly accepted second choice, I might go for a cotton-spandex velouroid IF it was velouroid on both sides, or at least had stitching that could pass for reversible, because come on, who could snuggle up with some slick satiny synthetic toxicloth touching one's skin?

Not to mention that the idea of needing customer service for a Slanket just seems wrong on so many levels.

Exactly. Nothing pertaining to Slanket purchase should take 90 minutes. Those 90 minutes should be spent either napping enrobed in one's Slanket, or in one's traditional sleeveless bedding.

Another reason to wait till I can buy one in a store. None of the ads I have seen offered any color choices acceptable to me.

Well, yes, there's that. And we all know that the Slank-hoodie is the obvious next product enhancement feature.

Speaking of drama, because it is touted as one-size-fits-several, I can't tell from the commercials what happens when one decides to avail oneself of all that freedom of movement afforded by the Salnket in the sense of getting up and walking around.

If you are tall, is it ankle length?

That would significantly reduce snuggle capabilities, since the feet are important extremities, and the idea of reclining on a couch or chaise lounge, icy shivering toes protruding sassily from one's Slanket does not sound very cozy.

And if you are short, does it just puddle around one's feet getting dirty and causing dangerous falls?

Or is it designed to be shorter in front, with a graceful train in the back?

That might make a graceful silhouette, if the train is not too long. Short ladies must be ever-mindful of train length.

But once one has obtained one's book or beverage, is the idea to return to the couch and bring the now floor-soiled train forward to snuggle the feet?

Or do they zip or close up somehow on the bottom like one of those whole-baby containment garments, with the bottom made of useful and sturdy ShamWoW material, empowering us to revel in freedom of movement that also cleans floors as we hop?

Mine too. I laugh everytime I see that commercial.
