comfiest knickers/briefs

I find all my knickers slightly uncomfy, even having sized up. I like a full brief and super soft material. I used to love the John Lewis anyday microfibre briefs but they changed the material and they aren't so soft now.

Any suggestions? Happy to pay a bit.

Thanks!

British boxers full brief - they’re the softest bamboo.

Wirapa knickers from Amazon.
Bought on a recommendation from here and I am a total convert as are my best friend and mother in law.
They are the comfiest knickers I have ever known.

Flexifit ones from m and s are lovely - I have the bikinis and the shorter shorts but they do full briefs too if you prefer those

Sloggi

I second this - you can just forget about them all day.

I'm a Stripe and Stare fan. They're not cheap but if you're not terribly fussy about colours you can pick them up in the sale.

I like Victoria’s Secret big pants. Incredibly soft and comfy.

Innersey have been recommended on here a lot recently. I bought some; they’re good so far; they do various styles:

I have Innersey & wirapa after recommendations on here. The wirapa ones are very comfy but just remind me of my compulsory navy school knickers a bit too much. The high waisted ones are comfy but looks a bit odd & take a long time to dry.

Boody bamboo, I’ve replaced all my old underwear with this!

I agree they are comfy but I find pant liners don’t stick to them, they slide off. Surely I can’t be the only one to experience this? I’m tempted to try Innersey, but they look just like the Wirapa pants and it’s an expensive mistake if they are the same.

They sound good but one size fits all?

Second Boody

TheeNotoriousPIG · 20/03/2026 17:31

They are far from stylish, but the big "full brief" ones from supermarkets like Morrisons and ASDA (providing that they don't have a hard frill around the edges. I'm all for the plain elastic). The first time I ended up with some, it was because they were in the wrong packaging, and I fell about laughing at the size of them.

I am now converted, and buy them exclusively...

I have never tried as I am past menopause.

Hi Everyone,
Wow, thanks so much for all the replies - much appreciated! I definitely like the sound of 'forget about them all day' @SpiderSolitaire!
I'll have a look at all these tomorrow and most likely order a few different ones. I'll feedback but it will be in a couple weeks because I live overseas and stuff takes longer to get to me.
Thanks again!

Primark! Really comfy full briefs.

Surroundedbyfools · 20/03/2026 18:51

I’m the same I can’t find decent pants !! I’ve looked at some of these but I don’t want nylon knickers. I only want cotton with small percentage of elastic or whatever for the edging !

Same. They're the comfiest pants I've ever had.

Anotherlindor · 21/03/2026 15:28

Coskefy knickers on Amazon. They are amazingly comfortable and wash very well. They also do not slip down under the trousers😳

metalmutha · 21/03/2026 17:19

Same. Doesn't matter if I size up, size down, actual size, they all migrate up my bum! Cant stand it. Thank-you for the thread!

I don’t know about fitting all, but DM and I both have pairs and I’m a good few sizes larger than her …
