Sleeping With the. . .

Nae and Audie Pajamas

Bet you’ve got a whole drawer full of sleepwear.

Bet you’ve never actually slept in any of it. Because most of that lacy g-string stuff isn’t designed for sleeping at all. (If you’re putting it on, it’s probably with the intent of getting it taken off.) And anyway, who can relax with a strip of frilly butt floss riding up there all night? Sheesh.

Nae and Audie feel your, uh, discomfort. They make pajamas you can really bed down in — butter-soft, chic, and sexy in a totally wearable way. Stuff you can wear if the boyfriend’s coming over, yet still appropriate to answer the door the next morning to greet the FedEx guy. Dreamed up by art-school dropout Renee Faia and film-industry veteran Audie England, the PJs are already earning most-favored status among the likes of Alanis, Nikka, and Britney.

And if Britney can get through eight hours without taking off her clothes, anyone can.
