Knickers!

Seriously, what am I getting so wrong to be unable to find basic, every day knickers that fit me nicely? Granted I am currently heavily pregnant but no matter what undies I buy, they either feel too uncomfortable, feel like I'm wearing granny pants (and you can see them through my dresses) or they just roll down which is so bloody irritating. The rolling down is a problem I had in my pre-preg body too so must just be my shape.

I am spending a small fortune on packs of knickers that look like they'll be ok, I try one pair and realise they're awful and am left with 3/4 pairs I'll never wear. What can I do with those? Do organisations want unworn knickers?

I do of course try and stock up on the same knickers if I find some I like but that's been such a long time that they're literally falling apart and the store I got those in (Next) doesn't do them any longer.

Is it just me that finds finding comfy, non parachute like undies so challenging??

I’m with you! I’m fed up. All uncomfortable and now it’s that cotton/mix it’s just too thin material to actually hold my belly in a little bit so rolls down. And I don’t want tags digging in me either. Anyone suggest any decent ones 🤷🏽‍♀️😂

I've struggled with knickers for years, I have a belly so roll down is a problem and I'm also sensitive to elastic ant the knicker line. Especially the horrid zigzag elastic. Whoever thought that a good idea

I recently found Oddballs boy shorts. No elastic at the legs, cotton and comfy. But pretty they ain't

I sent mine to Smalls for All
www.smallsforall.org/

It's impossible to buy well made, cotton, comfortable knickers any more. Narrow gussets, ratty elastic round the legs, they start off fitting and by the time I have left the room they have ridden up. The ones with lace tops roll over or just slide down.

I used to get decent ones from Asda, they are rubbish now. All the stores sell the same ones in different patterns. Even John Lewis ones were useless.

Sloggi? Look em up.
Probably a bit too Mumsy for young-uns but soo comfortable.

I also bought some that people were recommending on here, full briefs from Amazon, can't remember the name. They had extra control apparently. However I never got to find out because the control was so extra that I couldn't get them on, I checked reviews and ordered the size I should have but they were never going to fit me.

Snag tights do fantastic comfy knickers nice thick cotton fabric, high rise ones that gently hold you in. Not the cheapest but great quality.

What about getting high waisted ones? I've got a small waist and huge arse, and have found the Tesco high waisted ones stay put so much better, although I have to buy a size 6/8 to fit the upper part, this meaning the lower part ends up travelling up and becomes like a thong... They are surprisingly comfortable 🥴😂

Boody make lovely underwear, bit pricey but very comfortable.
