Her terminology not mine. I need some that hug her bum cheeks. Any ideas?

A bigger size? My dd has 6-7 despite being 5 (and 'average weight') for this very reason.

She takes after her dm Blush

Most places, just buy shorts style. I actually need to make sure I get a smallish size to make sure they sit tight and don't ride up rather than go bigger. I got decent ones in Asda last week.

Traditional style. Sainsburys are good for this.

DD had the same problem. We've tried loads$$ a few and she likes these H&M ones best. Size up, they shrink a bit in the wash.

My daughter has these from m&s they don't have the tight elastic round the legs iyswim, so sit further down her bum cheeks. She is an excellent complainer, but hasn't moaned once about these Smile

My dd is a very slim 9yr old and we got her the shorts style from H&M and she LOVES them! I tried one pack to see how she got on and we have now over a period of a couple of months have replaced all her knickers to this style. She is very slight so I get a size smaller than her age and even these were roomy till they were tumble dried a few times. They are nice cotton too

Watching this thread with interest as DD has the same issue. After trying larger size pants we also went for shorts style ones in lycra in a larger size but to no avail! She still hates pants!

Mini Boden. Best possible girls pants. Nothing else as good.

I can't do links as I'm on my phone but my dd is 10 and has always loved a big pantGrin

These are your saviour - M&S seamfree cotton Lycra knickers. I recently got very similar from Debenhams as M&S were very low on stock.

So briefs rather than bikinis and short styles?

She refuses to even wear knickers at the weekend Shock

My 5 year old dd is like this.! Refuses to wear knicker shaped pants.
He and m do nice short type ones, Gap too.
Funnily - her 13 y o cousin is the same -my SIL mentioned getting some nice ones from Victoria's Secret for her. (Do they do a teen range maybe ?)

Mine is 3. Complete wasting of time getting anything other than those HM ones. However she wants peppa pig etc so will sometimes tolerate them!

Another Mini Boden endorsement here. Their pants are unsurpassable imo. Both my girls wear them and they've been washed and washed and are still going strong....

I get all our undies from Gap (actually, I've started getting mine from V Secret, but before that I was v happy with the Gap ones). Both my 9YO daughter and 7YO son have always been happy with them, they generally wash and wear well, and you can often get them dirt cheap in the sale.
