A boring thread about multi packs of knickers

Anyone know where I can buy some bog standard, decent cotton, multi-pack knickers that are in pretty, fresh, colours and not horrible sludgy ones? On-line pls.

Sainsbury's TU?

AuntieStella · 30/08/2020 20:07

Try Sainsbury's (I think they're the nicest of the supermarket brands)

Or if you shop with Ocado, you can put M&S knickers in with your groceries from Tuesday (but only some of the range, mainly plain colours)

AnotherEmma · 30/08/2020 20:07

M&S surely!

Sandytoes86 · 30/08/2020 20:10

I got some really nice cotton plain ones from John Lewis , lovely pastel colours nice amount of stretch

BikeTyson · 30/08/2020 20:10

I’ve had some good Tu ones that are still going strong after a shamefully long time! Their sizing is on the large side, not a bad thing for knickers though.

StyleandBeautyfail · 30/08/2020 20:10

John Lewis Pima cotton are lovely.
Head and shoulders the best knickers ever.
There was a big pants thread last winter Grin

Chewbecca · 30/08/2020 20:15

Another vote for JL Pima cotton.

WhoWouldHaveThoughtThat · 30/08/2020 20:16

'bog standard' ?
An unfortunate choice of phrase or have I missed something?
Is there a Government category for knickers now?

cherrypiepie · 30/08/2020 21:37

I got the lace top from Asda - high recommend lovely and soft.

twolittleboysonetiredmum · 30/08/2020 21:41

Can I jump on this and ask if anyone knows it nicely coloured multipack knickers that don’t go up your bum all day?

Bargebill19 · 30/08/2020 21:49

Amazon.

mocktail · 30/08/2020 22:31

I agree with John Lewis

Oldbagface · 30/08/2020 22:56

You need Matalan in your life or George at Asda. Cheap and cheerful but do the job.

Juicyfrooty · 30/08/2020 22:58

Asda lace top cotton ones are my favourite

PickAChew · 30/08/2020 22:59

Definitely markses.

I bought some Tu ones on the recommendations I got on a thread of my own and ended up binning them because the elastic felt like razor wire.

SapphireSeptember · 30/08/2020 23:39

I get all my knickers from TU, they're my favourite type.

(And I'll always remember the blogger I used to read getting sniffy about multi packs of knickers from the supermarket. I love wearing something bright and cheery under my Goth ensembles. Grin )

slightchill · 31/08/2020 07:36

Grin WhoWouldHaveThoughtThat sorry, unfortunate turn of phrase! Grin

Thank you everyone for all the suggestions.
I started the thread because nothing in Marks took my fancy as all the designs and colours seemed a bit meh.

Off to track down your leads ...thanks again.

Definitely going to try and avoid the razor wire elastic

Always Thunder Pants. No elastic. VERY well made. Will not ride or shift and I find if I have the right size I have no vpl because they go right round the whole of my bottom rather than cutting mid way across the cheek. They are expensive, but they last for years.

dudsville · 31/08/2020 11:52

Correction, I meant to write "I always mention Thunder Pants", they are not an always brand of pants!!!!!

viccat · 31/08/2020 12:02

I like M&S ones, they seem to hold their shape well and they usually do nice colours. Sainsbury's ones have been surprisingly good too.

uncomfortablydumb53 · 31/08/2020 14:11

I was recently surprised at the fit and quality of a Matalan multipack

MenaiMna · 31/08/2020 14:36

Matalan five pack of cotton shorts about £8

emwithme · 31/08/2020 14:58

Another vote for Asda lace top full briefs. Gorgeous bright colours (or black/white multipacks), wash really well, don't make me feel like I'm wearing my granny's knickers

DioneTheDiabolist · 31/08/2020 15:03

I came to recommend Matalan, but @uncomfortablydumb53 has beaten me to it.Smile

WanderingTrolley1 · 31/08/2020 15:17

Peacocks are pretty good for pants.
