comfiest knickers/briefs

[chocolatesnaps]

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!

I like the John Lewis microfibre full briefs

Boody fan here too

I have tried some of these pants
Wirapa
JL microfiber
Sloggi
M&S microfiber
And didn't like them
I now have boody and stripe &stare on order and I am hopeful they work.

Stripe and Stare

To the Stripe & Stare fans, any comment on the size? Pretty true to size?

Meant to say, an important criteria is that they really are a proper full brief that covers the belly button - definitely need this after 3 kids! Some of the full briefs I've ordered have gone below, even though I always size up.

@chocolatesnaps Yes. definitely true to size. I'm an 8/10 and the small fits me perfectly except in the lace knickers, I size up for those as they're not very stretchy. I buy the original knickers but you'll want the high rise knickers if you want more coverage. I think it's free returns for your first order so you could order a couple of sizes and return if they're not right for you. Presumably you can't try them on first(!) but you could compare to some of your existing pairs that fit well (or not).

very helpful, thanks!

Boody knickers are great. DH got some boxers too and he approves.
Stripe and stare have also arrived and look great. Happy I stumbled on this thread. Some success in the pants dpt at last..

Another fan of M & S Flexfit.

I second this. They are so comfortable and have them in full brief, high leg and brief style.
The full brief has la bit of a flare around the leg so you don’t have a VPL with them under jeans or trousers.
They are also much more attractive than granny pants, sort of fitted French knicker appearance.
When I was young and able to maintain an extensive collection of matching underwear I loved French knickers. After DC and trying to keep up with the vast amounts of washing a household creates I just have 70million pairs of black knickers and a variety of matching bras. With a few pairs off nude coloured sets for under paler clothes.

I do miss my lingerie collection though, totally impractical since the rest of the household, now old enough to share laundry duties are clueless about the care of delicates.

It’s the same with white bed linen. I look back and laugh at the younger me who had white cotton duvet covers that I washed, ironed and starched every week. I don’t even iron sheets nowadays and they are all dark colours.

I only wear these pants, all day, every day, and I never ever think about my knickers.

Agree, Chantelle are fab. One size does fit all.
I’ve recently gone from size 16 to size 12 and they still fit perfectly! I’ve replaced
all my knickers with these.

Tesco full briefs are vey comfy.

YouShow cotton knickers on Amazon are my go to.

Calida has wonderfully comfortable cotton knickers.

I’ve never had a bad product from this brand.

Agreed!

These, comfy and a properly wide gusset plus come up to belly button height

Normally £17, now £13.60 for one pair!

Another vote for Wirapa from Amazon, also discovered them via MN recommends. Life changing - robust, comfortable, cotton, wash well, smooths lady lumps.

The best like for like match for the old JL microfibre briefs is Sloggi, imo.

Hey everyone,

So in the end I didn't order a whole heap, I just researched thoroughly and went for Stripe & Stare...I can confirm I am a convert!! They are exactly what I was looking for - silky, soft and I barely notice them once on, they also wash well. I'm a size 10 and medium fits really well.

The only down side (and no small thing 🙈) is that my sanitary pads didn't stick to them. However this may be down to the brand of sanitary pad so I will try next month with different ones 😅.

Thanks for all the help on here!! X

I had same problem with pads not sticking on the Wirapa pants, but after a few washes they stick better

Just looked at stripe and Stare -very expensive!
