Those long night shirts look like a good option. I think there is also the possibility of severe static build up with poly and wool together in the former option.
A riddle.....
What have kilted men taken many off, but never put any on?

As amusing as you all might find this, there IS a reason to wear liners of any sort, especially of a "slip" pery material: it's to reduce the friction of garments and allow them to hang and move more freely. It's the same reason a suitcoat is lined. So although you may not like the aesthetics, in theory this product should do its job.

And that makes sense on my wife's light weight skirts. I think the design and weight of a proper kilt negates the need for it.

This topic has always gotten crazy because everyone comes at it from different perspectives.
Initially, the JDEZ product was perceived as very feminine because of the very feminine models on their web site and the LOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE interpretation of "kilt" used in their naming.
Functionally though, a slip is not the best solution becuase it does not offer the loose fit that we are looking for by wearing a kilt. The loose fit of the kilt is negated if you wear a snug fitting slip under it.
The better solution is a loin cloth type of garment that will not restric the legs movement.
as far as satin material goes, can you say constant static cling and shock by haivng wool and sating rubbing together all day. Stay away from door knobs in the winter time 
My other hold up on product for this function, is that it requires another waist strap to hold it on. I would prefer it to attach to the kilt rather than to me.

That I certainly agree with, which I think is why long shirts work best.

If I am honest, my reservations about the 'under kilt', or 'kilt liner', or whatever, are cultural baggage. I accept that liners make practical sense, particularly if going without underwear on a kilt that is hard to clean -- but I struggle with the 'under skirt' or 'slip' connotations.
But then I put on my Stillwater and look at the lining on it. Most quality kilts are lined, and this takes the form of a permanent 'kilt liner' going the full width of the kilt, usually down to the bottom of the fell. I'm guessing that the kilt lining became traditional to cover up the cut away pleats and steeking, and for comfort. I further notice that the kilt lining is only fixed at the top -- meaning the kilt lining is effectively a wrap skirt attached to the kilt only at the waistband.
This forces me to look at my cultural reservations again, and ask myself why a permanently installed kilt lining is OK, but a removable kilt liner is not OK.

Frankly speaking I haven't, so far, run into the need for anything like that.
