Big black pants - where to buy?

50 replies

Wowzel · 05/08/2024 17:53

For years I have bought the big black pants from m&s, full cover and up to the belly button!

Until now. The ones I bought this week feel cheap, are see through and are frankly just not as nice as they used to be.

Can anyone recommend an alternative?

Sloggi do good full briefs

I like Boodie who also do really comfortable wireless bras too

AnotherNaCha · 05/08/2024 18:11

Oh no! I rely on those from m and s too so that’s disappointing! I actually ordered some from next so will feedback on those.

big black pants are the best.

Divebar2021 · 05/08/2024 18:13

Clearly I meant Boody. Boodie is a small rodent.

I used to get my big black pants from M&S, but the quality really fell off and now I buy boy shorts style from Wirarpa on Amazon, they're fab.

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 05/08/2024 18:39

Sloggi, often on multiby offers from the Sock Shop on line.

I use those too. So comfy

Wirapa knickers from Amazon. I binned all my other pants after buying these.

mybeautifulhorse · 05/08/2024 18:45

Oh good, I've just ordered some wirarpa ones so I'm glad they are getting good reviews. I've always liked the lace top full briefs from M&S but the last lot weren't as good - the lace has torn on half of them and they just feel cheap.

Lovelysummerdays · 05/08/2024 19:42

I’m another fan of wirapa. So comfy. They stay put and gently pull you in but not in a muffin top sort of way.

Fleur240 · 05/08/2024 20:05

I always used to get mine from M&S but never again! The last ones I got literally disintegrated after washing a few times! So I bought some John Lewis ANYDAY ones and I’m impressed.

Justmuddlingalong · 05/08/2024 20:21

I always bought sloggis. For years. But in all honesty, Sainsburys Tu multipack of big knickers are fab, wash well and are really comfy. I'm a convert.

LittleGreenDragons · 05/08/2024 20:24

Asda. The larger sizes are online only though so depending on your size you might find the full briefs instore.

je11ycats · 05/08/2024 20:40

What's happened to m&s? I bought the same ones I've worn for years and within a few washes all have ripped along the hems. So disappointing.

BrandNewBicep · 05/08/2024 20:55

I bought the Wirapa ones a few weeks ago after a recent thread recommending them. I can't stand them. They are so thick and hot and restrictive, I couldn't wait to get them off. I'm sticking with M&S.

PointyHairyLegHairs · 05/08/2024 20:56

Get mine from Next, proper full coverage!

Tulipvase · 05/08/2024 20:57

I’ve bought some sinophant ones from Amazon. Very similar to the wirapa ones, I think they are all the same and just sold under different names. Previously I bought sloggi but the waistband ripped on all of them.

Mykittensmittens · 05/08/2024 20:59

Another wirapa! Snug not tight, cool, wash brilliantly.

Cheeesus · 05/08/2024 21:01

I’ve gone Wirarpa too - these are big but not too high.

M&Co do really comfy ones, but I'm not sure it they currently have any black .

Wowzel · 05/08/2024 21:35

Loads of great suggestions! Thanks everyone!

Slightly off-piste, but I’m wondering what you wear your big black pants with? I use them as the bottoms to all my black lace bras as can’t bear tiny pants. I think it’s a good look but do wonder what men think about BBP

Wirarpa on Amazon are the bees knees!!
