Pajama Jeans or Jeggings?

Have you seen the Pajama Jeans infomercial? The product they're selling is a pair of pants that look like jeans but feel like pajama pants!! O-M-G! This is the best thing in the whole wide world. I want one, I want 5, I want millions!


Juuuuust kidding. Maybe if they actually did look like jeans and not a pair of "jeans" my Barbie wore back in the 90's, then maybe I would buy them. But they look awful - especially the front where a zipper should be . Eesh, jeans need zippers, not fake stitchings that look like a zipper should be in that region. And they cost $40.00 + s/h!! I'm sorry, but that's way too expensive for a pair of pajama pants.

So what's the difference between Pajama Jeans and Jeggings?

Ummm, jeggings are just better.

Jeggings are leggings that look like jeans. They are leggings. They aren't sweatpants that look like jeans. Leggings and jeggings are fashionable. Plus, they are more cost friendly.

When you wear leggings or jeggings, more often than not, you wear a longer shirt. So even if there is a faux zipper, it's covered. And even if you don't, the outfit looks just fine because jeggings are in and Pajama Jeans are not. I know I don't have much of an argument here, but if you're ever confronted with a choice between Pajama Jeans and Jeggings, pick jeggings. My 2 1/2 year old niece even wears jeggings. She's got style.

But if you're not one to wear tight fitting pants like leggings and jeggings, then don't. I advise against the Pajama Jeans, though...I especially advise against wearing them in PUBLIC if you already own them. Remember, just say no to the PJ Jeans and yes to real jeans or jeggings.

I bought a Snug-a-Buggie and my life changed dramatically. Now the ants in my kitchen can move around more freely. I don’t ever have to worry about them being so cold all the time. And when they want to get into the sugar jar, their legs aren’t restricted – all the while I know they are staying warm. Snug-a-Buggie saved my life and theirs.

(New actor)
Ever since we bought the Snug-a-Buggie, we’ve been able to walk our household flies in the winter outside. All we do is bundle him up in his polka dot Snug-a-Buggie, and we’re set to travel anywhere. Just last week, we hiked up a mountain in twenty below weather, in a snowstorm! Mr. Fly stayed warm while cheering us on in our hike to the top. Without our Snug-a-Buggie, we wouldn’t have been able to share our experience with Mr. Fly.
