If you're looking for comfortable knickers with a proper width gusset...

[Westfacing]

I can recommend these by Chantelle, which are currently reduced on the John Lewis website.

I've just measured the gusset (7cm) similar ones I have from M&S are 5cm - makes a difference!

For a budget-friendly option, may I recommend the George at ASDA full briefs? They are frill-free, comfortable and extremely accommodating. I accidentally picked some up one day, as they were in the wrong packaging. They were so unexpectedly large that I laughed upon taking the first pair out of the packet. However, on wearing them, they were so comfortable that I felt like a changed person! They are the only briefs that I've bought since, and are gradually replacing my smaller pairs!

I just have to say I honestly cannot recommend thunderpants enough - gusset / stretch / cotton / comfy waistband. www.thunderpants.co.uk

I was slightly interested - until I saw they were nylon!!! I will stick with my Thunderpants and Bonds boyshorts.

Ha, ha, I hadn't read the full thread so hadn't seen your post before I posted mine.

They are insanely comfortable.

Is that £17 for one pair? Jeez, that’s expensive!

I’ll stick with my Asda and Sainsbury’s knickers.

I used to get the Sainsbury's knickers until they reduced the gusset to the width of a biro! It's a shame as Stripe and Stare are so expensive but there are three things I will pay extra for for comfort, knickers, bras and shoes.

All the gussets so inadequate these days.
I have Wirapa too but no denying they are really ugly.

I now flit between Sainsburys and John Lewis.but gusset shrinkage there too. Also I like to match my bras and knickers. But knickers always really skimpy. I cannot wear anything but cotton.

Save the skimpies for romance otherwise Bridget Jones.

Their own brand knickers in cotton are a fraction of the cost and just as good.

£17 for 1 pair of knickers? And synthetic?

Their own full briefs in 95% cotton and a cotton gusset are much better (I have the bikini style, same fabric.)

This discussion has put a smile on my face - inadequate gussets and romance crushers 😆love it, what Mumsnet does best...

some great recommendations too!

Sorry is that £17 for one pair, ONE PAIR of plastic knickers?

For that sort of dosh, I expect silk.

What I actually wear are these from Next and I can report that the gusset is all you would wish for

Huh?

I wear Wirapa knickers from Amazon, I have bladder problems so need some that will take a high absorbency pad. They are absolutely bomb proof, never move a millimeter, they hold my stomach in & don't make my bum look flat & boxy like other brands. I got 14 pairs for about £65.

My order arrived from Amazon. I too have bladder issues, was hoping they'd fix the pad issue. Thank you for this

Well am wearing my Wirapa this morning. Feels very comfortable and secure.

Plenty of other threads for you to bugger off too.
You can just scroll on past those you don't want to read eh?

😂😂😂

Ugh trolling in shopping. Honestly.

I can’t get past one pair of knickers for £17

Stripe and Stare are £18 each or 3 for £37.50. It's worth it for the fit and comfort which I can no longer get in cheaper brands

Paid £26 for five pairs of Wiparella . My only concern it says wash them at 30c. I don't wash anything at that temperature 🙈

Love my Wirapa pants. I bought them after a recommendation on here and they are the only pants I wear nowadays.

Do you wash them at 30c?

Sainsbury's knickers are my go to. I can't say I have measured the gusset but having tried many a pair of pants these are all encompassing and secure. And cheap.
