I hate to admit it, but the feeling of fleece makes my skin crawl. It makes my skin feel dirty and ticklish when I touch it, and it grosses me out in the way nails on a chalkboard do.
Please tell me I'm not the only one... I feel like a freak, and I'm worried that I'm going to get a bunch of fleece baby presents that I can't even enjoy!
Re: Anyone else hate fleece?
I like the feel of it, but hate that when I wear it, I get shocked by EVERYTHING I TOUCH.
I think the only fleecy thing that Aidan will wear is his bear suit, which, to be honest, I'm not sure is actually even fleece. It's just made of, um, softness?

I wanted to buy one of the bear suits so very much, but I can't get over the grossness of the fabric! I thought that maybe I could buy it and deal with it, but then I was worried that I wouldn't want to hold my baby. If you see a non-fleece bear suit please let me know!
(I'm so sorry to anyone who likes the feeling of fleece, it's nothing against you or the cuteness of the items)
I'm fine with fleece but I can't touch velvet and there's another fabric similar to velvet that I can't touch. My parents used to have blankets made out of this material that they would put on our beds at winter time and I HATED it. Making the bed was painful because I just couldn't stand touching the texture of the blanket.
You are not the only one! I'm not a fan either!
I don't like the texture of it. I also get shocked by everything metal within a few seconds of just touching it. Thankfully, living in Florida, I'm not too concerned about lots of fleece baby gifts.
I have to agree, I love living in NE so I can get all I can out of my fleece! One winter I ordered fleece directly from Malden Mills where it's made and made cute blankets for me and my sister (I just finished the edges with yarn) and it was 1/4 the price that you can get it in the stores.
We couldn't be further from opposite in this regard. In the winter months, I live in fleece when I'm lounging around the house.
I it!
So I have to admit, I love fleece, only thing that bothers me about it is all of the dog hair mine seem to attract from my fur baby. But my Mom & I have all kinds of weird "nails to the chalkboard" things, for me I can't stand metal touching metal (like cooking utensils, etc) and my mom can't even look at anything made from frosted glass.
ANYWAY, you'd asked if anyone's seen any non-fleece bear suits. I did see a few nylon ones at Gap, but they all seem to have the fleece lining.

I have a problem with anyone touching my belly button Totally weird sensation. DH has to be very careful to avoid it.
OMG, me too! Everyone thinks I'm crazy -- "you're not eating it"! But they totally make my teeth itch.
Ooh, thank you for the suggestion! That's really cute, and I guess if the fleece is on the inside it won't be so bad. Maybe I'll wait for it to go on sale.
