Oh my Boody knickers, how comfy you are

Bought some Boody knickers as away doing lots of walking and wanted knickers that didn't ride up my bum etc...

Oh my comfy bum. I may never wear my frilly little things again ever again.

I'm telling you because I'm in a caravan full of men/boys who don't want to listento tales of my favourite knickers.

I don't think I've ever worn little knickers in my life, frilly or otherwise Grin but will have to check these out if they're that comfy!

ThankYouVeryMuchGerry · 25/08/2021 14:34

Thanks for the heads up - been looking for some "proper" pants so I've just put in an order. They seem to be doing a special offer and I got 20% off!

ImitationofBeing · 25/08/2021 14:46

These are 'proper pants'. So comfy you'll be caressing your own bum.

Oh dear god, I just googled Boody Knickers and the predictive text put in Bloody knickers.... My eyes my eyes I can't unsee those pictures.

Now I'll try again, carefully.

Thanks for the warning! Surely someone in their marketing department should have thought about that!

£13 for one pair of knickers is a bit steep though, I'll stick with M&S

PhoenixFreesias · 25/08/2021 15:22

I love their hipster bikinis. Haven’t worn anything else since.

StarlightLady · 25/08/2021 18:05

I’ve just looked at the website. No matter what style you choose, ranging from thongs to shorts, they don’t seem to cater for those who like to live their life in colour.

I’ll stick with my M&S Brazilians.

Slub · 25/08/2021 18:33

Never heard of them.
Do you work as their PR OP?

ImitationofBeing · 25/08/2021 18:43

I want colourful ones too @Starlightlady.

@slub. no I do not work in the knicker industry and have no connection with the company. I am not using MN as a method to get free marketing. Like yourself never heard of them either until recently.

I did require comfy knickers and was ecstatic. Little things make me happy as I smash through through life's big crappy walls. And thought someone else's rear may appreciate them.

I switched to these a while ago now and could not go back to anything else again. They are perfect!

M&S hav done something awful to the Brazilians, I am devastated.
Threewheeler1 · 25/08/2021 18:54

I am off to check these out.
I always appreciate a good comfort knicker.
Many thanks for the tip OP.
Enjoy your bottom! Grin

sandybeaches74 · 25/08/2021 19:24

I also spelt this wrong when searching and put in Boodu Knockers - oh my at the results Grin

StarlightLady · 25/08/2021 20:17

@idontlikealdi - What have they done (apart from put their prices up)? Thank goodness it's still warm enough to go commando most days! :-)

Wombleofwimbledon1984 · 25/08/2021 20:31

The homepage includes the word ‘bra’s’. My grammatical pedantry won’t allow me to buy underwear from this company. Confused

StarlightLady · 25/08/2021 20:47

@Wombleofwimbledon1984 - Maybe they came from a family of greengrocer’s! 😂😂😂

Changed the sizing so they are 10-12, 14-16, 18-20 etc but 10, 12, 14...

Skimped on the fabric - I now get fanny wedgies.

They're just not nice anymore 😩

I did ask in our local store and they said it was a temporary adjust because of covid?? Bloody hope so!

Bertiebiscuit · 26/08/2021 22:34

The older I get the more impossible it seems to be to get good knickers that are made of proper materials, cotton, silk etc that don't go up my bum crack, unless I spend huge amounts of money - EXCEPT I scored a bargain of 8 pairs of plain black cotton knickers with no frills or stupid bows for a tenner in a Matalan clearance sale which wash OK so I'm good to go for a year or more fingers crossed - then the search begins again 🙏🙏🧐

GiveUsACoffee · 27/08/2021 01:00

Just bought a pair in LARGE! But will skimp on a few posh coffees this month as they're so expensive!

AnnieSnap · 27/08/2021 01:12

I swear by Wirapa from Amazon. Available in lots of styles, including full brief. Made of 99% Cotton 1% Elastane. Appear to last forever (I’ve had some for 4 years and they still look new) and not expensive!

holidaynearlyover · 27/08/2021 07:15

These don't seem overly expensive.

@ImitationofBeing which style do you go for? I love a comfy knicker 🤣

Oh my Boody knickers, how comfy you are
StarlightLady · 27/08/2021 07:19

@holidaynearlyover - I’d get lost in those! Are you supposed to get in them with a friend 😂 ?

Billandben444 · 27/08/2021 07:24

I buy big girl pants from m&s in 100% cotton. My bum has never been happier.

Coniferhedge · 27/08/2021 07:38

I love full briefs. They were recommended to me by my midwife after I had a caesarean and I’ve never looked back. I’m at the age now where I couldn’t care less about appearance and I’m all about comfort. I call them my harvesters - all is safely gathered in. Grin

lazylinguist · 27/08/2021 07:51

The Wirarpa ones from Amazon are brilliant. They feel much better quality than any I've ever bought from M&S. The cotton is thicker and they hold their shape better and last well. Less expensive than the brands I keep seeing advertised on Instagram too.
