Cuddling with your SO's clothes

[TerriW312]

So last night I was on this website before bed (on my laptop). And eventually when I went to bed I went to snuggle with my SO's sweater (it doesn't smell like him anymore ) and it was warm on one sleeve because it had been underneath my laptop. It felt so much more real having something warm to cuddle with! Try it!

Does anyone else have any ways to make sleeping without your SO seem more real?

I always wear his clothes to sleep! And I like when I end up wearing them when we Skype because he always points out that they are HIS shirts :P
I also got one of the "Love knows no distance" bracelets and I wear it all the time, even when I sleep! It's nice knowing that he is wearing the exact same thing (just in a different color) at the same time also

I LOVE my SO's PT Navy hoodie!!!! He gave it to me after his first visit when we started dating. Even though it's summer, I sometimes wear it to bed. Also, a couple nights ago we had a "skype sleepover" basically we both left our web cam's on the whole night as we slept..which was nice because we had a conversation before bed and talked in the morning. It was a nice feeling that he was kind of there with me virtually :]

My SO gave me one of his hoodies before I left, and I sleep snuggled with it every night, and every morning I wake up all wrapped up in it
LOVE it!

Well we don't have any of each others clothes yet, but we each bought a teddy bear and are sleeping with it for a week and then mailing it to each other so this way it has our respective "scents" on it and we can sleep with it After we meet in November we will each take a piece of clothing to wear from the other.

I've slept with my SO's shirt every single day for 2 years now, I can't seem to sleep without it. I also like when we do cam sleepovers it's nice to be able to watch him sleep if I wake up early and then we can talk in the morning before our day starts. and he loves pointing out every time I wear his shirt when we cam together it always makes him smile.

I've asked my SO for a shirt of his for forever and for some reason he's never given me one. :P wahhh. but when he was here last time we went to build-a-bear together so I sleep with the bear I got from there every night. on nights when I'm missing him extra badly I have a small bottle of his spray deodorant stuff that he left here last time (can't bring aerosols on a plane) so I spray the bear with that so it smells like him. <3

I sleep in one of his shirts sometimes! It's so much nicer, to feel like something of his is with me all night~

I'm not one for sleeping in clothes plus my SO is about 5 times bigger than me, so all of his shirts end up looking like dresses on me haha. However, I love wearing his sweats (drawstrings tied to the tightest they can go!) in the winter time and around the house. I also still sleep with a stuffed animal that I've had forever and sometimes when I'm missing him particularly bad, I'll put his baseball hat (the only thing that still somewhat smells like him-boy sweat is a powerful thing!) on the animal's head and snuggle up like that so I can pretend he's there. He thinks it's cute seeing me sleep like that.

(the only thing that still somewhat smells like him-boy sweat is a powerful thing!)

I find it kind of humorous how us in LDRs are SO desperate to feel what it's like being with our SO, that we are willing to smell their sweat! xD
But I totally understand. One of the shirts my boyfriend left me, he wore for a day AND he slept with it on that night while he was here...I didn't want to wash it until I couldn't smell him at all anymore!

[Sanney4709]

I don't usually wear his clothes. He buys me a stuffed animal every time we see each other though. I have like six now. I cuddle with them when I go to sleep and it makes me feel better. I also have his little stick of deodorant that smells just like he does all the time. So I like to smell that sometimes. :P

Next time my SO comes to visit I need to ask him to leave me one of his shirts or something. I wanted to ask last time he was in the USA but totally forgot. Of course I miss him everyday but there are some nights that are worse than others where I'd love to have something of his to wear or cuddle up with. He was just here in late July through early August, so it will between 3-5 months before I see him in person again... *sigh*

I sleep in a tshirt most of the time since he left [about 3 weeks or so now] - it became a running joke that I hated the tshirt because it's for a political party from where he lives haha- and when I stayed in his halls I didn't always have a lot of sleepwear/couldn't walk around naked in his building so I'd plod around in it a lot. But it makes him smile when I wore his shirts/pj pants to sleep or walking around my house in now I sleep with that and the stuffed toy he got me for graduation too- it is wearing a little hoodie which has our uni's name on it , which is cute

I've got a scarf of Snowlillys that she sent me, she put her perfume on it at first . I sleep with it every night since I got it, I just loop it loosly around my neck, I bought a bottle of her perfume and give it a light spritz when the smell starts to fade. I love it , its nice and soft and whenever I wake up I'm thinking of her,

While we were still LD, my husband and I each wore t-shirts for a few days in a row to get our scents on them and then exchanged them when I came back to the US after visiting him. We did this for each visit. I took a stuffed animal and gave it to him, and he gave a stuffed animal to me and I slept with the one he gave me every night. I also slept with the shirt sometimes, but I mostly kept it in a plastic bag to preserve the scent. I don't know about y'all, but I have a very positive reaction to my love's pheromones, so I like smelling his scent a lot, and even his sweat. LOL! It really helped during the year and a half of long distance to have something to hold and sleep with overnight. We did the Skype sleepover every night too. Now that we're CD, the stuffed animals sit on a shelf since I can cuddle him instead.
