Hello
I’m chucking out all my knickers and want to start again. Where do I start?? I’m 44 With 3 children and my thong days are long gone. I like cotton but want to move away from anything too plain. Don’t want full lace, have to change at work in front of people 😬 (that’s how I’ve seen that other people have nice knickers, not sexy nice, just nice)
Where do you all buy your knickers from?

I have multipack 'work knickers' from Marks and Spencer, Sloggi and Sainsburys as I too have to change at work. My nicer knickers are from places like Debenhams, Bravissimo, John Lewis etc.. Just whatever takes my fancy.

Tesco boy shorts, so comfortable.

Floralmoral · 17/11/2019 11:14

Shorts from Primark if knickers need to make an appearance in public in work (not bedroom!) environment

bakingcupcakes · 17/11/2019 11:21

All mine are Disney characters from asda. Blush Not the plastic covered ones though because they don't wash well!

Deathraystare · 17/11/2019 11:24

if knickers need to make an appearance in public in work

? Are you a stripper???

Floralmoral · 17/11/2019 11:27

No, but need to get changed in changing room at work... usually there are other people around, you know. Primark shorts wouldn’t take me very far as a stripper, I don’t think Grin

RhinoR · 17/11/2019 11:28

Giant full brief belly warmers from primark.

Sooo comfy

OhTheRoses · 17/11/2019 11:30

Full briefs from M&S but have discovered Tu are excellent and half the price.

toastandmarmiterocks · 17/11/2019 11:47

Stripper, ha ha!! People would be demanding money back and clothes on 😂😂

I don’t wear any

Even when I did they were thongs or something really tiny.

Don’t like big pairs of knickers

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 17/11/2019 11:53

I got some M&S big knickers (95% cotton 5% elastane) very nice under leggings as no muffin top.

If I bought thing again I'd go down a size though ( M&S vanity sizing at large here)

JaceLancs · 17/11/2019 12:22

Sainsbury’s or m n s no vpl big knickers
I often have to buy online though as they’ve stopped doing multipacks of nude which I wear more than black or white

BuggerOffAndGoodDayToYou · 17/11/2019 13:38

M&S Brazilians usually but I also have a couple of pairs that match my nice bras... I am of a size that means my bras are pricey and can’t come from M&S so those knickers are £20+ (😮).

The only person who ever sees my undies is DH though.

toastandmarmiterocks · 17/11/2019 15:26

My DH has just left me, so the knickers are just for me right now.

Superdry bikinis, thongs occasionally and nicer pairs for action!

PlasticPatty · 17/11/2019 15:31

Peacocks shape wear. Brilliant.

HermioneWeasley · 17/11/2019 15:32

Having seen the men reviewing women’s underwear on the M&S website, I would say ANYWHERE but there. They allow underwear returns too, bleurgh.

I buy from Victoria’s Secret. Which makes me sound dead glam and saucy, but I buy their 100% cotton large or extra large briefs😆

HermioneWeasley · 17/11/2019 15:32

Oh, and uniqlo seamfree large pants for under trousers

7Worfs · 17/11/2019 15:34

Plain black briefs from Victoria’s Secret

Muminabun · 17/11/2019 17:00

High leg briefs from m &s so comfy and wash well. Support of big knickers but not with all the material.

StarlightLady · 17/11/2019 18:16

In my early 40s. I buy 2 matching pairs of knix with every new bra, and I also go for M&S brazillians and also have a few thongs. I love bright colours, plus a few peaches and pale pinks for lighter coloured clothes. I don’t wear white or “cardboard look alike” (some call it “nude”); it reminds me of school.

I don’t like 100% cotton, they are always baggy in the wrong places on me, especially round the bum. I like stretch lace, it moves with you.

I like to think that if anyone sees me getting changed, l am proud of my underwear. If you start to get dressed with something tatty it doesn’t make you feel good about yourself in my view.

IHaveBrilloHair · 17/11/2019 18:23

No one sees me getting changed, but if they did, my underwear is in good condition and clean.

frostedviolets · 17/11/2019 19:56

I don't usually wear any! Grin
But when I do they are plain stretchy lace.

toastandmarmiterocks · 17/11/2019 20:40

So what is a Brazilian Knicker then? My god it’s a minefield...
