Ideal for hot sleepers, the separates are the perfect PJ replacements for when it’s simply too hot to wear much of anything to bed. Each piece is made with organic cotton that feels soft, lightweight, and breathable. Note: The underwear does include the slightest bit of compression along the bottom of the tummy.
