Sexy big pants?!

16 replies

Day to day I wear the very ugly but very functional black high waist pants from Amazon (Wirarpa?). Dh and I are having a short break for our anniversary and I would desperately love suggestions for some sexier (but still high waist, hold your tum in) knickers. Any ideas please?

What sort of budget are you talking?

Hmmm! I feel you may have to compromise here. French knickers will come up to your waist but they won't hold your tum in.

Uniqlo high waisted. They are cotton with lace trims and come in a variety of colours and patterns.

I also have the Amazon ones you mentioned!! The Uniqlo ones aren't quite as firm but not far off and don't show under clothes much. Both of them seem to be far better quality than my Gap and M&S knickers that just wear out so quick.

@AutumnalLeaves38 sadly not a high budget! As cheap as possible……

@StarlightLady as long as they covered everything then strong support wouldn’t matter.

@InColour thanks very much, I have a look at Uniqlo now.

Not sure Uniqlo is the go-to brand for sexy knickers...

Try Playful Promises, they do lovely lingerie for relatively good prices. If you filter the by 'high-waisted' there's laods of options.

Or you could go retro (though these options are higher price-wise):

@rbe78 thank you so much! Lots to choose from there.

Yeah apols, the Uniqlo are def not sexy sexy. I think I was going for a step-up-from-the-Wiripa vibe. They're nice on though.

came on here to look for an alternative to Wirarpa (but didn't search for that). Am so heartened to know that everyone else is wearing terrible granny pants from Amazon too.

Savage x Fenty! Lots of shapes, cuts, sizes and colours and they are really good quality. www.savagex.co.uk/products/panties?nav=undies-all-secondary
