Good knickers for larger middles!

[britespark1]

Everyday knickers help needed please - I usually wear these beauties www.marksandspencer.com/5-pack-cotton-rich-lace-trim-full-briefs/p/clp60437456 but could really do with something similar but “stronger” to hold in my ever-increasing tum. Any suggestions please?

I know what you mean but I swear it must give you a tummy ache to wear restrictive holdy-in knickers all day. Big m&s multipack fan here!

I find the M&S freecut shorts are brilliant for this. The high waisted ones. But if you truly want holding in, it has to be control pants!

Wirapa on Amazon. Not control but quite supportive

Primark 3 for a fiver pack! Bit more stretch than just a full brief. Also do no vpl ones!

Carol Hochman does some large pants , they are not control knickers but they seem to have more hold .

Asda. Love em

Most comfortable I've found

Hi, I have those Marks ones too (must admit I find the lace panel a bit scratchy and annoying), found a waaay more comfy cotton set from John Lewis and they are my everyday staple now - have a zillion of them! www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-anyday-cotton-full-briefs-pack-of-5/black/p4907648

These one from Marks are a good mix of comfy and supportive around the tummy. I wear when I want more support around the middle and flatter tummmy look with leggings/jeans/ dresses, comfy enough to be worn all day and don’t cut in like other shapewear pants often do:

Primark

M&S flexifit full briefs. They work for me.

For a little support it depends on what you are wearing. If you are wearing a skirt or a dress the M&S control slip here

www.marksandspencer.com/firm-control-sheer-shaping-full-slip/p/clp60285048

is far more comfy than any pair of control knickers. You can wear your regular knix with it. You also look less bridget like when getting undressed. Don't expect a flattering choice of colours though.

Marks Flexifit knickers (whichever shape you prefer, I like the low-rise shorts) are incredibly comfy. They don't suck you in though, you'd need shapewear for that and I couldn't wear that every day.

Oh yes, I really like the bodysuit version of what @StarlightLady posted, for wearing under jeans and a clingy top. The poppers are a bit of a hassle but it does give you a nice smooth shape.

Thank you all so much! I’ve got some shopping to do!

Snags now do knickers and they are amazingly comfortable!!

@Numbat2022 - Last time I wore a body suit, I was deflowered all over again when I went for a wee (poppers). I finished up taking it off in the ladies and wearing nothing underneath, for the rest of the day.

These look really good and comfy, thank you.

Apropos of this thread, anyone have a million knickers? I don't have that many clothes but I seem to be addicted to buying bras and knickers. So few of them are comfy so I keep buying more. Not sexy ones either.

I second Wirapa. Lovely and high waisted, smoothing but not restrictive. I wear them mainly with dresses.

@JanisMoplin - Yes I probably have almost a million pairs of knickers. I always buy 2 pairs of matching knix when I but a new bra, and supplement with others. I like a touch of lace and they represent how I live my life; in full colour. There is no white (reminds me of school) or beige (makes me look as if I have a cardboard crotch! 😂) in the drawer.

My bras and knix absolutely have to match otherwise I feel itchy. I was thinking if I am ever run over by a bus I will have immaculate underwear:) At the first hint of sagging or loose elastic I throw them out. Not very green I know...

If I get run over by a bus today, the ambulance crew will be very afraid! No underwear.

@StarlightLady :) Always an option.

Only in warm weather 😂

I’d recommend these too
