Everyday knickers

35 replies

Where do you get your everyday knickers from? I’m sick of the boring ones from supermarket but they’re comfortable and so I put them on day after day (not same pair obviously).
Any suggestions on alternatives?

Primark. The wide waistband, all lace thongs that you get in three-packs. Comfy and really flattering too.

I used to love Sloggi but they have horrible zig zags elastic on the legs

Currently wearing John Lewis shorts

...or roll on summer. The best knickers are no knickers with a long summer dress Wink. But it’s not a winter sport!

I bought a pack of plain white 'shorts' from J Lewis for the gym so I could just chuck them in the hotter whites wash.
They're really good and I've since bought a pack in the nude colour, which have also worn/washed very well.

I like the m and s flexifit too. I would say they’re true to size in that they’re the same size as the other m and s pants in that size.

Now I'm older with bladder issues, the ones with a secret lining are a godsend! Also handy for annoying breakthrough bleeding also due to age.

John Lewis - packs of 5 - varying colours. Comfy and good value.

Primark lace thongs. I feel like I'm wearing a nappy in anything other than a thong.

I'll second FatFace, but just the ones with smooth inside edges rather than lace.

I wear tu cotton shorts but recently notice they wash a bit baggy and then my fat lower belly makes them roll down. I would to buy some cotton stretch or lace stretch midis in a range of colours

JL do some lovely seamfree knickers, that I find slightly better than M&S as they last longer without bobbling.

All I want in life is a semi attractive seam free light control full brief - can I find it?! No

Uniqlo high waist are pretty good. Nice colours and no VPL.

I actually like new look ones. Usually get a mix and match when mine are starting to look a bit done. I don't like boring ones though, although I do prefer a decent covering. But usually go for lace etc. They do 3 for 2. Like these ones www.newlook.com/uk/womens/clothing/lingerie/white-lace-brazilian-briefs/p/536396610?comp=Browse

H&M Brazilian boy style. So comfortable and no VPN due to lace leg hole not elastic

@ChicChicChicChiclana - Of course, which is why l made sugestions earlier in the thread. I didn’t want to come over as all negative though, so sorry if it came over that way, ‘just saying why Sloggi were not for me. Smile. For starters, I don’t do white or beige.

Having failed to find all-overstretch lace ones (which seem to have gone out of fashion), I buy those boring supermarket ones, but there's a comfy range which is cotton with a deep lace across the top of the front & come in a variety of colours. I get them from Tu or Matalan.

RIP BHS, who did a fabulous cotton back/symmetrically-seamed lace front knicker in gorgeous colours, which always drew compliments at medical appointments!
