Stripe & Stare knickers. Worth the money?

[Arraminta]

Just that really. I'm after some soft, microfibre feel, stretchy knickers that are comfy and last well. Also, do they come up big or small? I'm a size 10 in M&S knickers, so would a Small in S&S be okay?

Honestly I don’t think so. Comfy but don’t wash well. Go bobbly. Prefer my Tu ones 😂

Friend of mine rates them.

I’ve been impressed with Boody

Gosh microfibre pants sound ever so warm! Intriguing.

I bought some of the boxer short ones, they are massive on me and come up almost to my boobs despite me buying my normal size!
I just wanted them for comfy jogging bottoms/period days - I mean I guess they do the job but I wouldn’t rush back to rebuy. Think I’ll just stick with my M&S 5 pairs for a fiver knickers!

I was given a gift set of them. I would never have paid that much for some knickers. They didn't have enough bum coverage for me, and went bobbly after washing like a PP said.

M&S all the way for me.

Super comfy and no VPL or digging in … but the flip side is there’s no compression or shaping. Mine haven’t bobbled at all, but might have faded a bit.

I just can't justify the expense.

Agree with this, very comfy and no VPL are the main benefits. I have two different types and find one type (eco ones I think they were) extra flimsy.

Thank you everyone. My Holy Grail knickers were M&S 5 pack, low rise shorts in microfibre/tencel. They were slightly trimmed with lace on the waist band and super comfy and soft, with lots of stretch. So naturally M&S have now discontinued them.

I find microfibre much more comfy because they stretch and adhere to the body. For me, cotton leaves baggy bits.

I recently bought John Lewis microfibre full briefs. So comfortable!

Yes, exactly. Even cotton knickers with some lycra havd baggy bits.

I don’t own one pair of cotton knickers, l just can’t get on with them. They don’t move with you.

I got sent a free pair from Stripe & Stare and found them flimsy and they bobbled very quickly.

M&S discontinued my fave too, the sumptuously soft full briefs with a lace back

Thank you, I already have those but wanted similar but in other colours and patterns.

Where do you get yours from ?

Microfibre? Ick!

Sloggis aren't 100% cotton but they are like miracle knickers. Also expensive, but last a long, long time.

The flexifit microfibre from M&S are the best.

Never had bobbling on s&s knickers at all. If i were you i would go Medium for a size 10. Good knickers and nice fit.

Are microfibres the ones that feel like the stretchy shiny scuba material? Like sports leggings?

That's the sort I'm looking for, but whenever I order they turn out to be bog standard cotton ones. It's so hard to tell what they're made of in pictures!

If it's not microfibres, what am I looking for? Tencel?

I love mine!

I have replaced all my pants with them. I like the night waisted ones.

I have slowly replaced all of mine with Stripe and Stare. I love them. Great range of colours. I like the high waisted or high waisted thongs.

They often have discontinued M&S ranges on eBay I buy my high leg comfort lace nude on there
i also really rate Uniqlo high waisted, worth every penny and wash and last well
