knickers (now that M&S's are shit)

[Flockameanie]

I thought I'd found the holy-grai of knickers with the M&S flexifit shorts (high and low waisted). But they have gone baggy after just over a year and at that price (£16 for 3 pairs) I'm not willing to shell out for more.

Can anyone recommend an alternative? I like the shape of the M&S 'shorts' style and I'm all about comfort over style. I'm willing to pay a bit more for pants that will actually last longer than 15 months...

I was really disappointed by Sainsbury's - too thin and they ride up like bastards.

I'm still wearing M&S knickers I bought 13 years ago. A five-pack and they're all still in good working order.

That's what I call value for money. Four months for a fiver? You're joking.

Intimissi

Fatface and white stuff both do very comfy undies

Uniqlo.

Seamless wonders

They have changed them. Used to last forever now fall apart at the seams. Sometimes in one wear

Depends on your arse. I need a size bigger at least! Ample butt

Seconded. Always sized up, even in the far-off days when I was fit and toned.

Surprising find for me was Bon Marche!

John Lewis knickers are good, too.

Another for Uniqlo, don’t have many but definitely my favourite

Sainsburys and sloggi here but the m
m s no vpl range still works for me

M&S used to last 10 years easily, now they get holes in within months. So annoying! I'd rather pay more for the old quality.

So I'm looking elsewhere too...

Sloggi or Amazon

Another vote for Bonmarche

mixed responses re sainsbury, but definitely worth a try imho

I buy Sainsbury's multi pack shorts. They seem to last quite well, but occasionally I've had a dodgy pack which have obviously been made elsewhere. But at around £1 a pair I can replace them when they go saggy

Sloggi, I track them on amazon for bargains.

Sainsbury’s no VPL are a game changer for me £9 for 3 pairs. So comfy.

I do NOT recommend Stripe and Stare...I bought maybe 10 or 12 pairs a year ago (which cost a small fortune). At first I really liked them, but within a few months the material started to degrade - the colours are extremely faded so that they look about 15 years old; some pairs seemed to shrink and now give me wedgies; others seemed to become baggy and start falling down as I wear them, so that I have to go after them and hoik them back up every 15 minutes all bleeping day.

I have just ordered some Innersy off the back of this thread, am keeping my fingers crossed that they are the answer to my prayers... and am sincerely looking forward to binning my Stripe and Stare knickers!!

Any recommendations for bikini or hi leg styles?

Calvin klein ate the comfiest ever. It's the rooks royce of kinickers. Back away from M&S x

Innersy are brilliant

Another vote for sloggi’s I got 3 pairs on Amazon for £11 (Black Friday deal). Really comfortable and very good fit.

Personally a huge fan of these from H&M - super comfortable, stretchy and seamless, almost like you’re not wearing anything - also cheap to replace when they go grey in the wash..
