Help me find knickers that stay up.

I've been buying these M&S knickers for years. Last set got a bit baggy and kept slipping down. Have bought new set which are smaller so proves the previous set had lost their elastic but have slipped down immediately anyway.

Can anyone help me find suitable knickers?

I want good coverage but not really ugly. I'm a size 16 with saggy tummy.

Sloggi high waisted. Never found anything that compares for comfort and support.

John Lewis or Sloggi.
However size up in the Sloggi as they come up small.
If I'm wearing a dress I wear some shorts knickers I got off amazon as normal ones work their way down plus it gives a bit of tummy pull in !

Buy bigger ones. Ones that are too small won’t stay up.

I wear the next ones (in a pack with the logo) and have had two c sections - they never budge and wash perfectly. I buy three packs of four at a time I love them

Wirapa, Amazon.

I have these from Amazon, the second link is to the higher waisted ones for when I need more support for my three kids post menopause tum under clothing, but the ones in the first link are pretty full too. Very comfortable and well made, thick cotton, I've had the higher waisted ones for three years now and they're still like new. I've lost nearly two stone since then, but they still stay up fine without sagging. Lots of options on colours, too.

Another vote for Wirarpa. I also have women's boxers from them and they're lovely. Boxers buy the next size up, but the normal pants are fine.

I mean the first link is to the high waisted ones.

Reporting back.

I've ordered 2 packs of Wirarpa, one of which arrived yesterday. I've been wearing them (not the same pair!) since.

I can report that they are of 'substantial' size, are a bit 'old lady' but amazingly comfortable and I've not had to hoik them up once.

So it's a win for me!
