I have worn M&S bikini multipack knickers for donkeys years and they were brilliant. Comfy, no riding up, covered your bum properly, great value

Well of course they've had to piss about with them and now they have stupid lacy edging which literally falls to bits after one wash. Maddening. I bought some Next low rise shorts today (no bikinis in my size) and have tried them on at home. They are utter shit, and will be right up my bum after 5 mins. It's enough to make you scream

Can anyone recommend decent, bikini style, comfy knickers that stay put and don't ride up or fall down or otherwise drive you mad? Willing to pay what it takes at this stage. Ta!

@IntermittentParps

I like Gap, the plain bikini kind with no lace, made of cotton. I wait until they go sale or on multi buy.
Seconded

The sloggi ones are good but pricey!

Another vote for Asda high leg multipack. With or without the lacey top. Comfortable, wash well, no ride up or roll down.

@LookdeepintotheParka

Where did I go wrong with Sainsbury's? I found them so uncomfortable I had to throw the pack away!

Primark multipacks of 3 pairs are amazingly comfortable but I've been back several times for some more this year and they never have my size in stock!!

Which 3 pack do you mean? The ones in plastic packets or ones on hangers?

I bought Innersey from Amazon a couple of weeks ago after seeing them on here. V comfy, feel like good quality. Can’t say how long they last as haven’t had them long enough.
Only thing I thought strange about them is a grey gusset (inside only) in plain black pants but I suppose nobody sees that bit normally

@HermioneGrunger

I'd rather go commando than wear anything other than Sainsburys full pants.
They should put that on the packet !

I must try them, can one get them delivered? No Sainsburys here.

M & S 5-pack bikini no VPL microfibre. Bought some yesterday, no lace. I size up for bum coverage.

CatherineCawood · 04/09/2021 19:10

I got some DKNY branded from Costco. They are fantastic. Bought a few more packs next time I went. Wash well, dry well have had them 2 years at least. No threads, no falling apart, going up bum or anything.

sofakingcool · 04/09/2021 19:12

Granny knickers all the way here

SirVixofVixHall · 04/09/2021 19:13

I really, really like the simple high waist sloggi ones, but they always dig in at the top of my thigh as though the leg holes are too small.
I don’t like the tai ones as much , the high waist are smoother, but even sizing up two sizes doesn’t help.

wombforanotherone · 04/09/2021 19:21

Out of interest, which Sloggi pants do you like? I've only had their basic cotton ones so far - I like them but sometimes the waistband digs in. However I am scared to spend on the other styles as they're so expensive and I am worried the material will mean they ride up

LolaRoses · 04/09/2021 20:02

I wear Primark 'Brazilian' multipack knickers and love them. I've tried all kinds of knickers of various prices and these are the best I've ever found.

Ozanj · 04/09/2021 20:06

Amazon’s own brand bikini knickers are amazing

TooWicked · 04/09/2021 20:06

Boody knickers - sign up to the mailing list for 10% off your first order. They’re expensive but worth every penny.

TrobadoraBeatrice · 04/09/2021 20:07

H&M multipack cotton shorts are my go-to now, very plain, just as I like them, washing well so far and no sign of elastic detaching.

LookdeepintotheParka · 04/09/2021 20:21

@sofakingcool the ones on the hanger. I think everyone else has discovered they are the holy grail of comfy knickers now as always out of stock!

RhinestoneCowgirl · 04/09/2021 20:25

This is the thread I need in my life today! I too was an M&S devotee but they are thin and rubbishy now.

Considering cycling to Sainsbury's tomorrow just to buy some pants.

Jemimapuddleduk · 04/09/2021 20:27

Ella and me

Jumbojem · 04/09/2021 20:32

Decathlon running pants! I see someone's already said runderwear and I believe these are similar but cheaper. I think they are also similar to the sloggi microfibre soft ones. They also dry super quick if you need to wash undies whilst on holiday I discovered last week.

Three0fivepointfour · 04/09/2021 20:41

An anyone link to the exact Sainsbury’s ones please? There are so many and it’s confusing.

I’m having the same issue. The elastic came out of my M&S pants.

Girls knickers are no better. Boden 100% cotton ones only got up to age 12 which I’d an adult 6 I’d guess. Worth trying if you’re slight. No wedgies and lovely gusset. They are utterly the bis and I don’t know what I’ll do when my daughter outgrows them. We’ve tried their teen range but they’re not as good, neither are Next, M&S or Petit Bateau.

Same. The elastic was like razor wire.
stupiduser · 04/09/2021 21:00

Oddballs. They are expensive but super comfy

Thisismynewname123 · 04/09/2021 21:04

I always get Gap cotton knickers. Much better coverage than M&S.

fangtiger · 04/09/2021 21:09

Another vote for John Lewis - there own brand cotton bikini knickers

Puffalicious · 04/09/2021 21:12

Trying a linky thing. Swear by Sainsbury's . These are my holy grail for everyday and lacey, stretchy, sheer ones for best.

Black, White & Grey Lace Full Knickers 5 Pack

Puffalicious · 04/09/2021 21:13

Didn't work! I'll try again.
