Product Details
Also searched for as a back open nighty or hospital nighty: a wrap-over gown for women who are bedridden, in hospital or recovering from surgery.
Dressing a woman who is bedridden, in hospital, or recovering from surgery usually means lifting her arms, pulling fabric over her head, or sitting her up. This back-open gown removes all three. It wraps around from the back, closes with snap buttons at the shoulders and ties at the sides, so it can be put on while she is lying down or half-sitting, one arm at a time.
How it works
- Slip her arms into the short sleeves from the front.
- Bring the gown up over the shoulders.
- Wrap the right panel across her back and secure it with the snap buttons on the left shoulder.
- Overlap the left panel and secure it with the snap buttons on the right shoulder.
- Tie the side strings for full closure.
Who it is for
- Bedridden women: can be put on by rolling her gently to one side, without sitting her up.
- Hospital stays and post-surgery recovery (spine, cardiac, abdominal, hip): the back opens fully, so the wound, back or ECG leads can be checked without undressing her.
- Shoulder surgery, frozen shoulder, arm fractures or a sling: the shoulder snaps open, so the arm slides in without being lifted.
- IV lines, chemo ports and dialysis: the shoulder opening gives access to lines without taking the gown off.
- Stroke or one-sided weakness: a carer can dress her one side at a time.
- Elderly, dementia and palliative care: quicker, calmer changes for carers, including pad and diaper changes.

Is there a version for men?

Mornings Before vs After Aasra
Pulling a nightgown over her head, lifting stiff arms, sitting her up. Painful for her, exhausting for the carer.
Arms slide in from the front, the back wraps closed, snaps press shut and side strings tie. Done while she stays lying down.
Made for Bedside Care
A back-opening gown lets carers and medical staff reach the back, shoulders and lines without fully undressing the patient, so care is quicker and she stays covered.

Is this suitable for wheelchair users?
Yes! Our adaptive clothing is designed with wheelchair users in mind, featuring easy-access openings and comfortable materials that work well while seated.
How do I wash this product?
All our products are machine washable. We recommend cold water wash on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low or hang to dry.

Yes. We accept returns within 2 days of delivery on unused, unwashed products in original packaging. A flat ₹300 per product is deducted to cover logistics.
Are the clothes suitable for all seasons?
Yes. We use lightweight, breathable fabric that is comfortable across seasons.
Are the clothes comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes. Our garments are made from soft, breathable fabric suitable for all-day comfort, whether at home, during recovery, or at a hospital.
Can it be put on while she is lying down?
Yes. Slip her arms into the sleeves from the front, roll her gently to one side to wrap the back panels across, press the shoulder snaps closed and tie the side strings. She does not need to sit up.
Will her back be exposed?
No. The two back panels overlap fully, and the side strings pull the gown snug so the panels stay closed while she moves or sleeps.
How do the snaps and side strings work?
The snap buttons at the shoulders hold the gown in place and open for line access or changes. The side strings tie at the waist to tighten the fit and keep the back panels overlapped.
What size should I order?
It is one free size, cut for L to XL. Because the back wraps and the side strings adjust the fit, it comfortably fits a bust of up to 44 inches (2XL). Length is 52 inches.
Can doctors check wounds, lines or ECG leads?
Yes. The back opens fully and the shoulders unsnap, so staff can reach the back, shoulders and IV or chemo lines without taking the gown off.
Will the snap buttons last through regular washing?
Yes. Close the snaps and loosely tie the side strings before washing so nothing catches, then wash cold on a gentle cycle and line dry in shade.
Can she wear it outside the house?
It is designed for home, bed and hospital use. Because the back is a wrap, we would not suggest it as outdoor day wear. For going out, our front-open nighty and kurti are better choices.
Is it good for summer?
Yes. It is 100% pure cotton, soft and breathable for Indian weather.
