Where can I buy decent knickers?

[HomerRoberts]

Can anyone recommended somewhere I can get knickers that:

• are comfortable
• cotton
• regular bikini type design
• don’t ride up your arse
• don’t start looking really tatty after a few washes

I usually buy from M&S or Asda, but m&s no longer do the design I liked and don’t seem to have a great selection online.

@Franticbutterfly - l like those. The description made me laugh though “lined front for modesty”, if someone sees me in my knix, modesty has gone out of the window!

Soft stretch lace does breathe, it’s full of tiny holes.

For me, 100% cotton is overrated and has no give which is where discomfort starts and Sloggi feels like wearing a nappy. Discomfort can be caused by too much fabric and lack of stretch.

I like M&S Brazilians for day to day wear, they move with you and the soft lace is more comfy than thevelastic round the leg holes.

To conclude, shops are commercial ventures, they discontinue lines and stop selling things because of poor sales.

Wow... Ella & Me - £16 for one knicker is a hefty step up from £8 for a multipack. I bet they’re making an enormous profit on those.

Those fantasie ones are all nylon though... and £20!!

I like Victoria's secret.

Sloggi sounds like they would be up your street, OP?

I like gap knickers. I tend to wear big pants though - the boy short ones.

Ellesse or Tokyo Laundry ones from tkmaxx. 5 pairs for a tenner.

My current favourite are fat Face knickers.

I like these plain cotton ones from John Lewis: www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-partners-5-pack-bci-cotton-bikini-briefs/white/p4905644

Ok, I’ve ordered some of the John Lewis full briefs!

These are, without a shadow of a doubt, the most enormous knickers I’ve ever bought in my life.

DH is going to wonder whether our washing has been mixed with Mary’s next door but one. I better warn him I’m trying a new style

I have found that the knickers I am wearing brought from Sainsburys have a small crutch area and they have a very wide leg area. I am finding that they are cutting in at the groin and are making it very painful. I have read some of your comments from readers and feel that I may be changing to sloggi or something similar. I feel that paying a bit more for comfort is well worth it but it's usually trial and error (it's not like you can try on with undies, so it can prove an expensive mistake if they are not comfy, Off to buy some new undies.

Sloggi are quite expensive (if you’re used to M&S multipacks, as I was) but the quality is fantastic, and they last for ages.
