Big soft pants with an actual gusset

I've watched the threads on here about pants for a few years now.

Like many of you I've had to abandon M&S due to the ever-shrinking gussets. My HG is the Sloggi Maxi in modal/elastane which they've now discontinued in favour of rigid/plasticky alternatives.

I've got the Wirarpa high waist knickers from Amazon and while they're definitely much better in the gusset and length, I find the material a bit too thick for the summer and sleeping in.

Has anyone found anything similar to the Wirarpas in a lighter material like modal? I think the elastane content is what actually makes pants feel lighter. I think the comfy Sloggi ones were 12% elastane 88% modal but I cut the labels out ages ago...

BTW I got these recently and the material is very soft, but they aren't high-waisted enough if you're tall. Even though I sized up when I saw they were made in China.

I bought some bamboo ones from Target recently. They are very soft and wash well. I'm not in the UK at the moment though.

Forgot to add that I second the recommendations here for Innersy on Amazon.

Are the Wirapa knickers any good for wearing incontinence pads? I wear the pullups at the moment & I'm fed up of looking like I wear a nappy, plus if I can use pads it means I don't have to completely undress my bottom half if I have an accident.

Thanks. The difference in product quality is startling isn't it.
