Knickers.

Mmm - might try Sainsbury’s. Always wear M&S high leg but the quality isn’t as good as it used to be. They seem to be a bit flimsy nowadays.

Love Sainsbury’s hi leg lace knickers

Years ago I bought a pack of Sloggi knickers. They seemed expensive at the time but they are as good as new. I recently bought some Playtex ones, nice but the quality is not what I expected.
I wear trousers a lot and like my rear to be tightly controlled so like the boxer short type, but M&S ones ride up. Again, the Sloggi ones do the job.

Bon Marche well priced, pretty cotton fabrics and comfy

I've bought M&S high-leg knickers for years, for my everyday wear, but sadly the quality is no longer what it used to be. Poor quality, flimsy cotton, and the lace bit around the top frays after 2 or 3 washes (by hand!). I also tried ASDAs similar version, but found that quality even worse. Maybe I need to try Sainsbury's next time I can get back to the UK!

Thanks to you all for your interesting suggestions to my OP.

Although some are favourable, it seems a shame that so many are variations on the same theme. No matter who the supplier, the quality is so often lacking- flimsier, thinner material, the quality just not what it was.

I would happily pay more if I knew I could rely on the product.

Looks like the supermarkets are well worth a try anyhow.

the sloggi I bought last are not as good, they wear out and become thin. I wonder if they use a thickening agent to make the cotton appear to be better quality when new. My home sewn knickers are wearing much better than sloggi and they fit very well. Easy peasy

I found ideal knickers from Bon Marche, well priced, and then they were discontinued. So it’s back to M&S.
They start off a suitable shape, but after many washes they seem to go out of kilter - but perhaps it’s the shape of my derrière that is the cause ! ?

They look professional, with stretch satin binding around the edges, can also be made in stretch lace with a cotton gusset. A good use for tired t shirts

Further to the post about white knickers showing through white trousers. A while ago I met up with someone I know in the supermarket. She is rather a boastful woman and our conversation consisted of her telling me all the wonderful things her family have done. Eventually she ran out of steam and after we said goodbye I watched her walk away with her white with a blue floral design knickers clearly showing through her white trousers. Ashamed to say that it amused me no end - especially as she is fond of tight trousers - not a good look when you have a huge backside!!

Danni at least she was wearing them!

Nude pants hard to find now, but vital for under white trousers, will use some of the places mentioned to track down!!!

BlueSky -

Sloggi for me . Comfortable and supportive. And they do them in colours now as well as black and white.

This is what I miss buying. Each time I went to Asda food shopping I used to throw a couple of £4.50 packs in the trolley so I'd built up quite a collection. Just ordinary cotton 12/14 size as providing they're new/clean, who cares ?

I wash them in a 60 degree wash so their lifespan is shorter than would normally be in a cooler wash---hence the many packs that I used to buy. I've probably got 4 or 5 packs of 5 left in my drawer.
I've definitely got a thing about new knickers If I was ever taken into hospital ? This is what I think about.

Same here EV I have 2 x new packs of knicks in my hospital bag all ready if ever needed .
My mum used to always buy Ethel Austin all cotton double gusset they resembled wind socks.

Another vote here for Sloggi maxi knickers. I've had mine for years and I find they wash/wear well. They're 95% cotton with 5% "Lycra Elastane" - for stretch. So comfy!

M&S for me.I used to buy Sloggi but prefer the M&S ones.
True, not the thicker cotton they used to be ( no cotton is as thick as it was) but still pretty and reasonable quality after many machine washes.I only buy in three colours, white, black and nude to match my bras ( I have to wear matching!)

Sloggi cotton ones everytime for me with some higher waisted M&S silky nylon ones occasionally. I like the smooth feeling my silky nylon ones allow when pulling on a pair of fitted trousers!

M & S for me always. I have plain black midi ones and silky and lacy, black, midi ones depending which ones I grab out of the drawer. I also have white ones for when I am feeling in a white underwear mood - don't ask!!

Me too lemongrove black, white and nude (for under white trousers) for me too. Like you, they all have to match.

I like high leg and high waist but you can't seem to get both in one knickers. Anyone know where they can be found?

Knicker if you can have it singularly!

I used to buy high leg but now find full briefs more comfortable and also look better if wearing something tight or stretchy. I use either M&S or Sainsburys, Sainsburys being sized a bit larger.
