Recommend me some comfy knickers please!

Since baby number three made an arrival I have discovered the joy that and comfort is high waisted knickers - I am never going back!

I can't believe how much warmer I am now I have high waisted knickers and higher waisted jeans, years of always being slightly chilly in lower fitting ones. What a revelation!
However, I previously bought the cheapest ones I could find as I only planned on wearing them a few weeks post birth, and sadly they are now falling to pieces.

So now I am on the hunt for high waisted, cotton knickers that are both pretty and will not break the bank, seeing as I need to replace my entire knicker drawer! But also pairs that will stand up to life and not fall to pieces after a couple of months. Does anyone have any recommendations? When I say high waisted, I mean ones that finish about belly button height. Would they be called maxi pants?

While we're on the subject I have also become a convert to period pants. High waisted ones in particular. Absolutely bloody brilliant, no pun intended. How I wish they'd been around in my teenage years, would have made life so much easier.

Thanks in advance

I bought wirarpa from amazon after seeing them recommended on another thread. I wouldn't say they are pretty but super comfy and made of thick cotton, they gently hold in your tummy too.

I have some like these from M&S, although I could have sworn I bought mine as single pairs.
Anyway, these are very similar and mine are sooo comfy.
I wore nothing but thongs for years throughout the 90s and early 00s. Now I just can’t be arsed!

My friend recommended these and they are the most comfortable knickers I have ever worn and I've searched for years!
I don't like the new colours tbh, they usually do them in plain black and white. Very affordable too.
