Baati appreciation thread

[Atiya]

I just love it when I come home from a long day and have a hot shower and slip on my baati and head to bed. I don't know how people go to sleep with pyjama pants, they're so uncomfortable. I also don't know how people wear baati at home during the day, it feels awkward and uncomfortable.

Baati is the reason why Somalis are beyond fat. I only wear baati when it's blazing hot and I take a cold shower.

I don't wear baati at home coz I'm short and seem to trip on them. And it's very uncomfortable to sleep in baati as I end up strangling myself at night with it

I wear leggings to sleep. I feel like I'm going to choke if I sleep with one on.

Girls this sounds dodgy but when you sleep with pyjama pants or leggings you have to put kastumo on and I ain't ready to put kastumo on when I've been wearing them all day and just had a shower.

I sleep with shorts and pajama top. Comfortable.


How do you ladies sleep? I always wake up my legs either on the wall or the floor while my upper body is on the bed. I fight in my sleep lol. I feel sorry for hubby, he will have bruises and aching body lol

lol

I heard about the wrinkle part. So is it true or is it just an old saying?

Lucky you. I sleep on one side the after 15 minutes I see myself almost falling off the bed.

Lucky you.

@Idol it's true you'll stretch your face so eventually you'll get looser skin esp around the eyes. That's the real science behind it not that nonsense about the pillow leaving impressions on you.

I don't like baati but I have to wear it out of respect for my mum. I'm all over the place when I sleep and it strangles me and makes me feel uncomfortable.

I sleep with oversized shirts and pants only and chill in the house with baati.

Take this to the extreme section.

Do you put on night cream? I've dry skin during winter, I heard applying night creams prevents the skin from stretching since we sleep on the side of our faces.
