Anyone here wear a onesie? I have one of these on order (see link). Are they hard to get in and out of? A pain when pooping? Obviously, they look great, but are they practical?

Only a Mr. Universe (Sean Connery) could look good in that.

Does he look good though, really?

Can you be taken seriously in the spy world wearing a onesie? Certainly Goldfinger wasn’t intimidated.

I’ve got a big, baggy brown bear onesie I wear to bed in the winter. It came with a button-up front but I cut them off and sewed on a zipper. No butt flap either, so I had to make that, too. Otherwise, you basically have to take the thing all the way off to poop.

Is it tough to get in and out of? I don’t have the best shoulder mobility.

It’s a lot [like this](https://www.amazon.com/dressfan-Unisex-Cosplay-Costume-Pajamas/dp/B0716NY699/). You can see the front opening is from the neck all the way to the crotch so you can actually put it on arms first, then stick your legs in after, especially if you get a size big enough that it’s baggy like that.
