Chubrub big knickers

6 replies

WashAsDelicates · 27/04/2023 17:26

I have some leggings-style cotton shorts from Decathlon which I wear as biiiig knickers with dresses. What makes them particularly comfortable is that they've got a diamond-shaped gusset, unlike any other cotton leggings I've had. So I can wear them without actual knickers and not get a wedgie.

Can anyone recommend something similar?

I need them to have a high cotton content, mid-rise to high waist, 4-6" leg, size 16-20 (I'm usually an 18, but can vary).

I’m not sure of the gusset shape on these ones but Sloggi do long leg knickers which I’ve worn without pants underneath: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00DQOLK74/ref=cm_cr_othr_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8#immersive-view_1682613065618

They are cotton and very comfy to wear, and don’t seem to ride up like some cycling short type pants.

I second the Sloggi ones too

It never occurred to me to look on Amazon! Thanks, I've ordered a pair of the Sloggi, and also some Wirarpa ones - because they're half the price and I hate lace. I've had Wirarpa undies in the past, and the fabric is nice.

I got mine in Sainsburys! They have the diamond gusset you've mentioned. (Missing the point but I didn't know I was supposed to wear pants under chub rub shorts Blush)

I don't think you are, JustGoTo, but try going knickerless while wearing leggings without a gusset.

A bit of feedback.

The Sloggi are going into the Bag to School. Nice and thin, but so thin that the fabric stretched and bagged, while the lace dug in. But the worst part was the seams. I can feel every seam - I can only wear them inside-out.

The Wirarpa are almost perfect. Flat, non-irritating seams. I would like them to be just a little thinner for the hottest weather.

I don't normally shop in Sainsbury (most of the other supermarkets are closer) but I might make a special trip to look for big knickers.
