I have a fussy fanjo and I get all irritated by lycra and elastene and all that business. I used to be able to go into M&S and buy 100% cotton knickers, which my fanjo likes. But oh no, they're all cotton rich and cotton mix now. The woman looked like this Hmm at me when I asked about 100% cotton.

I've looked online and it's the same story - I can only find mixed lycra etc, not 100% cotton.

Surely I can't be the only one needing a bit of cotton next to my privates. Sad

Any ideas - or any suggestions on what else I can look for that won't give me an itchy fanjo?

Egyptian cotton is longer fibres and knits better, it doesn't need lycra to help the garment hold it's shape. But obviously thats more expensive.
That's what the 100% cotton m&s pants used to be made from

So here we are now with pants with plastic in them.

I agree with a PP upthread, the secret is the cotton gusset. There are 100% cotton knix to be had out there, as others have said; but they have no stretch or give which is why many people choose something such as a microfibre/lycra blend with a lower cotton content.

if you wear tights which are not all cotton (very few pairs are) and you wear knickers under them, which most people do, you are creating the same non-cotton situation anyway.

Also, consider stretch lace with a cotton gusset, they move with you and because they are full of tiny holes, they breathe.

Primark definitely do cotton knickers. They also have a website now where you can check availability in your local store. And a version of Click and Collect that doesn’t seem to be all-encompassing.
