Any suggestions for the best dupes please? Ideally the same length or slightly shorter. Loose and cooling.

M&S have been out of my size for aaaaages 😭

Uniqlo?

Oh sorry didn't realise the m.and s were undergarments

I love these but really want them in white.

Oh these are fab. So much more comfortable than those tight bike shorts/snag things.

Slightly different but Primark often sell very thin cotton sleep shorts in summer. I bought some a few years ago and they’re still going strong under skirts and dresses. This sort of thing:

I don’t think anyone else does anything as good. The cooling silky layer is so inspired. All I can say is that M&S had better not discontinue them!

I’ve got a few of these and never bought them from the actual shop - have a look on eBay l, I got mine (new) from there.

I'm slightly confused. Are these instead of under wear? Instead of knickers?

bananaapplepears · 02/07/2026 15:25

What are these for? What do you wear them with?

I wear small knickers under mine then these make a nice cooling layer under a dress and they are ant-static.

I also have that from M and S but do like the longer length under midi dresses.

CMOTDibbler · 02/07/2026 17:38

I’ve always been able to find them on eBay

SoScarletItWas · 02/07/2026 17:41

@bananaapplepears @msmolli yes you wear knickers. They are basically a slip stitched in the shape of culottes. They can feel cooler than a skirt-shaped slip because of the cooling fabric between your legs. I’ve been known to wear mine under actual wide leg trousers as I have one particular pair which insists on trying to electrocute me and the culottes slip stop that static.

I've just sold mine on ebay. They got snapped up as M&S is always out of stock, check ebay and vinted.

I’ve got these from the online catalog JD Williams

I wear these in bed. They’re fabulous.

JulySheWillFlyAndGiveNoWarningToHerFlight · 03/07/2026 00:28

I didn’t realise these were so desirable. I bought some in the sale in March but haven’t worn them yet as they are so long. It looks as if the current ones are a more sensible length.

Time to shorten mine.

Thank you for your comment, @ClaudiaWrinklemum . I’ll try wearing mine tonight.
