I am looking for everyone's suggestions on women's sleeping bags.

I need to buy psycteacher (The trail talker formerly known as mrs. fenderbender) a new bag.

General Requirements:
1.) Mainly three season use. One winter camping per year.
2.) We live in the midwest, so rainy springs. Neither of us have had a down bag, but open to all possibilities.
3.) My wife becomes cold very easily and likes a nice warm bag. (For Deam Drunk Fest, she was fine in my cheap TNF 30 Deg synthetic bag with a homemade fleece bag liner. Temps that night approached 31 Deg.)
4.) I am trying to stay under $200.

Be sure to check the length!
Be sure to check the length. They do make bags for people 5'6" and under. I don't know how tall she is, but this is very important when buying a bag. I'm 5' and it was difficult to find a good bag to fit me and not have 2' too long. Cuts the weight too. I have a North Face Squall 30 degree, and I love it, but I don't think you can get it anymore. Also, they make bags for ladies, that fit a ladies shape. Okay! They make them wider about half way down to give ladies more room there if they need it. Hope this helps.

They also insulate women's bags differently. Not sure how.

Maybe they insulate them with sugar and spice as opposed to snips and snails and puppy dog tails.

I think they put more insulation at the feet because so often ours our cold. Check out Big Agnes, too. They have some good options, but you will need a pad to slide into the sleeve to make it work.

Labiaplasty and more by Dr. Alter!

"Labiaplasty is a procedure performed on women who dislike the large size of their labia minora, which may cause embarrassment with a sexual partner or discomfort in tight pants, with sports, or during sexual intercourse."

LOL @ Tilt!

So BM, is there a similar procedure for guys whose boys hang low?

Scrotumplexy? I dunno, but now I got that stupid song in my head...

Do your boys hang low,
do the waddle to and fro,
can you tie them in knot?
can you tie them in a bow?

Not to sidetrack this fascinating thread in any way, But...

What most people don't appreciate is that every possible combination of numbers, letters and symbols of all kinds representing all things known or unknown, real or imagined.... are just Band Names Waiting To Happen.

I myself am partial to Fartblossom.

BIG BALLS
(1976)
(Young, Young, Scott)
I'm ever upper class high society,
God's gift to ballroom notoriety,
I always fill my ballroom
(The event is never small)
The social pages say I've got
The biggest balls of all
Oh I've got big balls
I've got big balls
And they're such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he's got big balls
And she's got big balls
But we've got the biggest balls of them all
And my balls are always bouncing
My ballroom always full
And everybody cums and cums again
If your name is on the guest list
No-one can take you higher
Everybody says I've got
GREAT BALLS OF FIRE
Oh I've got big balls
repeat
Some balls are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
But when they're held for pleasure
They're the balls that I like best.
My balls are always bouncing
To the left and to the right
It's my belief that my big balls
Should be held every night
Oh I've got big balls
repeat
And I'm just itching to tell you about them
Oh we had such wonderful fun
Seafood cocktail, crabs, crayfish...
Ball sucker
