What are your most comfortable knickers?

I've just bought 5 pairs of knickers in the La Senza sale and wore one pair today. I spent the day hoiking them out of my bum, then put them in the bin as soon as I got home. Hmm

I'm sick of wasting money on knickers that I never wear because they are too uncomfortable. So, tell me, what are your most comfortable pants? I don't do thongs. I don't care what they look like, comfort is paramount!

Can you put them in the recycling bag or a charity bag in their packaging (the unworn ones) rather than in the bin?

Watching with interest, as all my most comfy pants are getting old.

MrsCampbellBlack · 15/01/2013 20:21

I always size up in knickers - that makes the biggest difference

pepperrabbit · 15/01/2013 20:21

Cotton, bikini style, as a minimum M&S quality (not their really cheap packs - just their nearly cheap packs Grin).
Had some Asda ones trying to save money - had exactly the same problem as you!

GAP are very comfortable and not granny style. Got a couple pairs in a sale once and love them!

BornToFolk · 15/01/2013 20:23

I'm not going to chuck them out without wearing Mintyy, as they are all slightly different styles so I'm hoping a couple will be good. I just had to get rid of the ones I was wearing today as they were like instruments of torture!

I wear big knickers from Asda I can't be doing with frilly flimsy lacy pants.

uggmum · 15/01/2013 20:24

I buy m&s midi style. They are a bit 'granny pant' but so comfortable. They do them in a multi pack in various colours.

Sleepwhenidie · 15/01/2013 20:25

Hanky panky thongs, they only come in one size, soft stretchy lace. They cling without digging in hanky panky

SoYo · 15/01/2013 20:25

M&S bikini style with lace top. Ridiculously comfy & look fairly good too (plus still comfy while preggers when nothing else is). Very rarely wear anything else now.

CuttedUpPear · 15/01/2013 20:25

I thought La Senza had gone bust! At least that's what they told me last year when I spent money online with them and the goods never appeared - I didn't get a refund either! Angry

usualsuspect · 15/01/2013 20:25

Granny pants are the most comfy though.

Monty27 · 15/01/2013 20:28

I've got little boxer shorts from Primark, I love them. They're almost like a lycra, although that sounds gross, I'm not sure what they are (will look later) but they are comfy

KerryKetosis · 15/01/2013 20:28

oh man y'all need SEAMLESS knickers!

I originally bought them post section, but they are amazing!

Primark, tesco, m&s etc have them and they last really well. Very soft, plain black or white, bikini shape. Kind of like er, I can't explain the material it's some kind of magic fibre, soft and stretchy.

I bet my bum is the comfiest here Grin

MrsSalvoMontalbano · 15/01/2013 20:28

agree about the sizing up. most comfy ever are primarni thongs in 16-18 (my dress size is 10-12) Grin i have a bad appendix scar, so anything with a low waist band - eg shorts style digs in uncomfortably

Mintyy · 15/01/2013 20:29

I think the only thing is to go big! Its not glamorous, its not sexy, but it is comfy!

KerryKetosis · 15/01/2013 20:29

monty I bet they're the same material that I'm trying to describe! I nearly said like lycra, but didn't because it sounded gross!

AKissIsNotAContract · 15/01/2013 20:31

I like the naughty shortie types. I used to spend a fortune on Agent Provocateur but now I'm all about comfort.

neontetra · 15/01/2013 20:31

Mine are massive.

whatyoulookinat · 15/01/2013 20:32

M&s three pairs for £10 black shorts with lace detail & invisible pl.

starfleet · 15/01/2013 20:33

Primark boy shorts. I buy them a size bigger than I would usually wear. No seams, no chafing and no riding up anywhere Wink and no VPL. They are the best knickers I've worn and so very comfortable.

WildThong · 15/01/2013 20:34

these in a size up for everyday/at work. Vair comfy and don't look too 'big pants'

ChablisLover · 15/01/2013 20:34

I'll whisper my pants recommendation - sloggi

Only way to go - so comfy

Or Asda boy shorts

BeaLola · 15/01/2013 20:35

M&S big knickers - full brief they call them - very very comfy .

Slogi pants

M&S Short style if I size up

BornToFolk · 15/01/2013 20:37

I don't usually get on with short style (lots of riding up!) but maybe I'm just not going big enough.
