AIBU to ask where your buy your underwear?

[aloneisnotlonely]

I just want to buy some sensible, comfy everyday pants. No impressing of anyone required. Just comfort. Ideally without a ridiculous VPL because even though there is a 2m rule and in theory, no one should be close enough to notice, I don't want to feel even more self-conscious going for a run than I already do.

M&S used to be my go-to for sensible knickers, but I've given up on them. The sensible-looking ones manage to be simultaneously baggy and dig in. I'm not even sure how that's possible.

Recommendations for online shopping, please? I'm not trying to impress anyone, so I feel like some new underwear with decent elastic shouldn't bankrupt me. Ideally something with enough fabric so a sanitary towel has something to stick to.

(I don't want to have special period pants, I just want some good quality everyday pants! Maybe I'm asking too much...?)

These are brilliant to wear under leggings OP. Really comfy and no VPL. I wouldn’t think they would be much good for wearing a towel though. I haven’t periods for years, since I had a hysterectomy. Maybe you’ll just have to wear ordinary, cheap knickers for period times?

I agree about M&S. I’ve given up on them too 😒

Do you know where these specific ones are from? I like how long the legs are

Agree with Morrisons for good, stretchy, plain pants with a decent width of crotch.

I'm waiting for @MarleyTheDog to come back - where are those shorts from!

Next. Can't recall the style off the top of my head (I check my order history before I buy new ones) but they fit and are comfy.

Tesco/Asda. Always comfortable, cheap, last a reasonable time & they have a wide range of styles.

Sorry. I thought the website name would have shown. Yes, I like the length of leg too. They are from Bon Prix. Super fast delivery too 😊

Tezenis seamless cotton!
So comfy and reasonably priced for seamless cotton underwear

Sloggis - uk.sloggi.com/

Decent fabric, decent elastic, comfortable and last for years.

Sloggi next and amazon sell them

I’ve had this problem. Primary was dire and m and s more expensive but not comforts. I buy the High leg ones from Sainsbury’s now better quality than Tesco and comfort is wonderful.

Victoria’s Secret! Their no show/ no VPL ones are amazing and last really well and don’t lose their elasticity. Evangelical about them and never get pants anywhere else.

Used to be solely the one particular cut of Primark pants but then even before lockdown the larger sizes became impossible to find - now a devotee to M&S midi cuts. Had a clearout the other day and ruthlessly binned all my ancient ones - v satisfying.

Thankyou x

Used to be m and s then switch to Next multipack.They are super comfy and have branding on the elastic waistband.i go for the boxer style. More like bigger knix than traditional boxers and true to size.

Primark hipsters with the lacy waistband. They've lasted for ages, I had in my mind that I would need to go knicker shopping when Lockdown One ended, but in fact I did a knicker audit one particularly boring weekend and discovered that actually I had twelve pairs in immaculate condition, fifteen in 'will last a bit longer yet' condition, and four in the 'will do in emergency' condition. And that's not including the huge numbers of odd pairs of fancy knickers that came attached to various bras! Or the pack of Trouser Knickers that I'd picked up by accident in Primark, which are the same shape as the hipsters but have an irritating string of elastic threaded through the waistband.

Asda, short knickers. Comfy and no vpl

I too found that M&S knickers were baggy, but the elastic at the top was very narrow and dug in, although the waist wasn’t tight. I got some from Next, which are bigger, although they’re the same size as the M&S ones.

Victoria’s Secret! Their no show/ no VPL ones are amazing and last really well and don’t lose their elasticity. Evangelical about them and never get pants anywhere else.

Exactly what I was going to suggest. In fact at VS underwear I've ever had has been brilliant. They often have offers on.

THANK YOU. I took you up on your recommendation!

My bottom is now comfy and covered. The old M&S knickers are going in the bin.

I had a look at Next, but I didn't fancy paying for delivery.

Asda, they're a firm favourite of mine for underwear. I've bought more expensive but when the underwires come out on 2nd/3rd wear I always end up back at Asda, their sizing is pretty good, usually pretty comfy in the knickers and bras

Also probably the cheapest I've bought aside from primark

Primark. They have a huge selection and are --good value cheap as chips

Asda short knickers. Best hands down

I love matalan for the massive comfy knickers

Sainsbury's. Such good quality.

I need some new underwear and saw a lot of good reviews on Sainsburys. I can't seem to see matching sets though?

Any recommendations for good quality places to buy matching sets? I have a phobia about wearing odd underwear!
