RIP my lovely upto the boob Debenhams and marks and Spencer knickers

I used to have a wonderful collection of wonderfully high upto the boob cotton knickers with plenty of stretch came in a pack of 5(6?) and cost less than a tenner.

I have ordered what I thought to be the same product from marks and sparks and there is no stretch hardly cover the mum tum and just aren't as comfortable and are pretty much see through in the light.

Any recommendations for equivalent of my old faithfuls please?

Try Primark or bon marche. They do knickers for the fuller coverage. They last well too

Yeah I know m and s pants are now pants! I tried three different styles earlier in the year, none of them have lasted or are comfy. Really disappointing.

Asda full briefs are just as good as M&S

Matalan full briefs in packs of three.

I came to recommend Bon Marche but I’m questioning what you are asking now after reading previous replies. Do you mean literally up to the boob (as I thought) or just normal full briefs as pp’s are suggesting?

Nah not literally to the boob just really high waisted.
Never even thought of bon marche!
