Pajama Party!

Anyone who suffers from hot flashes, night sweats and other temperature spikes due to menopause, chemotherapy, post-partum fluctuations, and other health conditions, or just wants a comfortable night’s sleep is invited!

Finally, someone understands something about the way women work! And of course, it's a woman. Helen Rockey founded Wildbleu, a Seattle-based firm which uses technical fabrics in everyday products as a solution to the conditions mentioned above. Designed specifically for women, the company's universally flattering sleepwear includes sleep shirts, pajama pants, and a night dress (our personal favorite). These casually stylish separates were created to provide a comfortable night’s sleep by keeping you cool and dry using fabrics that wick away sweat.

Sweat it out
These tech-savvy PJs are made with a patented yarn infused with “Heat Release Technology™” (HRT), which combines natural and synthetic fibers. The fabric was inspired by years of working with endurance athletes.
“We spent several years in development,” assures Rockey, who was also an executive with Nike and CEO of the “Just for Feet” chain of athletic shoe stores. “People who have bought products that I have brought to market in the sports shoe and apparel business know that only the highest quality, best performing products meet my standards. I wanted to create a product that I personally would love to wear, something that is soft, doesn’t absorb odor, and wears well. In Wildbleu we have it” (http://www.wildbleu.com/).
The fabric is said to outperform all other leading performance fabrics in drying time tests. The results of these tests and other related information can be found in the diagram below, and on the company’s website, linked above.
How it works & test results
 
Sleep like a sweet-smelling baby
Wildbleu garments have a soft, cotton-like feel, making them exquisitely comfortable to sleep in night after night. The company insists that no other performance fabric is as soft as theirs. While you sleep peacefully, the fabric works to pull moisture from the skin, allowing your body to be surrounded by a cool, dry feeling. A natural odor neutralizer also helps keep you and your PJs smelling sweet. Best of all, these moisture-wicking and odor-eliminating properties are permanently blended into each fiber, so they never wash out!    

This is sleepwear?! Could've fooled us!
 
So cool, they're hot!
These pajamas let you jump out of bed and hit the ground running! Our favorite style is a little-black-dress-like version that is versatile and attractive enough to take you directly from bed to a night out. Just add a few pretty accessories and you’re good to go (we’ve tried it—it really works). You can wake up and go…literally! Now, how cool is that?!
