Underwear recommendations

[Snipples]

Ok I promise in advance I am not a weird knicker pervert... I need advice of where to get nice stylish everyday pants.

I am currently still rocking the giant granny knickers I packed for my hospital bag (they're sooooo comfy but make me feel about a hundred). I prefer 100% cotton if poss which seems to rule out lots of the nicer styles.

Help a girl out please! 🩲

Marks and Spencers. I'm sure I own most of the Brazilian styles they've done in the last few years 😂😂

Ha that's where my big belly huggers are from (ah I do love them!)

Have seen nice ones on next website too but the amount of nylon puts me off 😬

Another vote for M&S Brazilians. Perfect fit on the bum.

A lot is made of the fabric issue, but if you wear tights and wear knickers with them, you are not encased in cotton anyway. Secondly 100% cotton goes baggy because it has no stretch.

Finally, there is a large variety available in viscose. Viscose is a natural fabric, it is made from bamboo and ever so soft.

Oh thanks for this info about viscose - I didn't know that so will have a look as that def gives me more options.

I agree on the baggy front. It's not a good look!! I don't wear tights tbh as I live in quite a hot country, but I take your point on the fabric.

There seem to be a lot of styles in the seamless type synthetic fabrics. I could always grab a few to try. Brazilian seem to be the shape to aim for and well def be an improvement on the granny pants!

To add that, I find the Brazillian cut so comfy because of the soft lace as opposed to elastic on the legs. I don’t think you would be sacrificing comfort for style.

And yes, seamless are nice because they are made like a tube.

Pop back and let us know how you get on.

I’m a huge fan of Calvin Klein ! They are so damn expensive though 😔

These are my favourite!

They usually do deals though like 3 pairs for £30 or something . To be fair , mine lasted a good 4 years before I needed to replace them and even then they weren’t falling apart but just got too period stained 🙈

Went to m&s today and bought some of the Brazilian ones. I've sized up as no doubt wearing my actual size will feel like cheese wire after 2 years plus (😳😯) in the preggo pants! I will report back!

I love the muji pants v comfy can buy online

Stripe & Stare do the best knickers. I have been a granny pants wearer for the last few years & thought it was time to try something different. They’re sustainable & ethical too.

Well I've had a little trying on session. Quite happy with the pants from the back, nice shape on the bum etc.

A bit depressing at the front but I suppose that's to be expected since my knickers are no longer hiding my belly! I need to shift my csection overhang pronto!

I guess as I can see it now thats a good incentive to eat better and it'll go quicker. I've lost about a stone and a half recently but got about 2 more to shift.

Anyway - I bought one multipack of 5 Brazilian briefs in plain cotton and then 4 diff style of Brazilian in nicer materials with lace etc. They are nice and comfy so will get a few more of those (once I've worn a pair all day to properly check I like the material). The big knickers are going! Hurrah.

Thanks for the tips.

Good plain ones from Sloggi. Cotton, and they're excellent quality so don't stretch or go baggy.

Sloggi weekend pants and Sainsbury's do some good big ones. I've not got a huge bum but seem to find a lot of pants the gusset is to narrow and constantly cuts into my bum 😂 these ones are wider and more comfy... nothing worse than a wedgee😉

A friend of mine has raved to me about Victoria’s secrets underwear, I think I’ll try them next. She said it’s really comfy but also a really nice buying experience. Lots of different styles.

OP, thanks for popping back and I’m pleased you liked the Brazilians. I actually like the fact that you can avoid the multi packs and choose the colours you want as opposed to colours someone thinks you should have; l don’t do beige or white.

With regard to the Sloggis mentioned here, it’s all shape related. For me they feel like wearing a nappy.

And congrats on your weight loss. Enjoy the granny pants bonfire.
