Well I have officially joined the big knicker brigade. I never thought I would but needs must, and I got fed up of constantly putting my hands down my trousers to haul up my briefs blush.
Anyway I did a bit of research, and found some on Amazon with great reviews...and I'm converted ladies. These are made from a good quality cotton (quite thick) with a little lycra for comfort, also with a very deep 2 inch waistband.
They were £18.99 plus postage for a 4 pack. I love them, so just wanted to share with you ?. Now everyone knows what underwear I will have on...oops blush

I like comfy bras and knickers. My main problem is with colours - we all like nude undies for wearing under white or sheer clothing, but I wish the nude shades were delicate peachy or lilac shades, or shades of coffee for darker skins.
Instead there are a range of sludgey or jaundiced beiges, and mud browns. Very depressing, and enough to make you go back to black or virgin white!

Bottle Green must have been the trend at the time. I also had them and also with a pocket. What would the girls think of them thesedays. It's all tracksuit bottoms or possibly pleated skirts which I wore in secondary school.

We also had dark green knickers. Longish legs with elastic in but no pocket.
Wore them with a top for hockey etc. I used to wonder why a man leaning on our fence would be interested in girls playing a game!!!
