Soft comfortable pretty underpants/knickers

Can anyone recommend soft pretty comfortable pants in natural fibres - - cotton or bamboo. I have eczema and use to buy the M and S cotton bikini but they have added an edging that really irritates. I would love some very pretty ones. I did buy some from Luva Huva that were so soft and lovely but they don't have as many now.

Brora - but they are expensive! But they are the only lawn cotton I can find!

I always think these look cosy, they have seamless ones. I've not tried them personally but I like the brand.

Thank you - the bamboo clothing company looks very comfortable. I will look at the other links too.

Bamboo from Ellaandme.com. Really soft, wash well and made in uk

M&S sumptuously soft are super comfy

Look up Mardybum boutique. I think they sell through Facebook. They are soft, strong, no irritating edges or labels.

Thank you - really useful suggestions - its the edges that can rub even on cotton pants.

Try m&s flexifit

Depending what the issue was with m and s, I switched to their pure cotton high leg from their bikinis as I think they changed something about them and they were rubbing on the leg to the point where I nearly bled and the switch has solved the issue.

M and S high legs

M and S have include Lyra in many of the cotton underwear which I find really uncomfortable.
The others seem to have an edging which rubs.
I bought them for years and years and then they suddenly change
They had simple cotton pants with soft edges in packs of 5 - I can't think why they suddenly changed

I can only wear 100% cotton and was really disappointed when M&S started to include Lycra. Will definitely research the suggestions on here

Another vote for Mardy Bum. I heard about them on MN ages ago, and now I don't wear anything else.

I've had to come and do a Mumsnet search after having a flurry of people wanting to join our group and saying they heard of us from Mumsnet Shock

We are a tiny two-woman-band with limited production capacity, but everything we sell is handmade by us, and we love what we do ❤️

Thank you to those who recommended us!

These are incredibly soft and comfortable. They're from Costco.

Dilbertian · 09/09/2020 14:50

Oh, they've got Lycra, so not what you're after.
