Knickers!

Ana...Yep, my sloggis are "well out" of the closet

Gally Can't wait! Shall I deliver the Charlie portrait at the same time, or would you like it through the post when you return home?

soop I would suggest that you exaggerate. If you are in size 16 Sloggis then I should, in all verite, be in size 20 ..However, they would be doon tae ma knees and wrinkled in the bum crease department. I am a size 16 in everything below the waist except Sloggis where I take a 14 - they fit neat as a glove. We will have to compare notes knickers, in October

Oh, soop! Sorry to have 'outed' you!

Ana Truth is, I think that I'm size 12...fact is, I order two sizes larger [just in case] and yes, they fit like a glove, not at all wrinkly or baggy. Conclusion...I tell myself fibs...

Matalan have knickers very similar to sloggies.but they have a thicker waistband and very comfy round the leg.they are I think £2...come in nude/lemon/white/black/and a sort or deep coral..I find them very comfy and don't cut into the legs.. they are normaly on them little hangers..

Usually M & S multi pack high leg. Sloggie sports bra though.

soop, I thought the whole point of Sloggis was that they 'hold you in'? Two sizes larger would leave me with visible knicker wrinkles!

Ugh! I hate the feel of baggy pants. I buy stretchy ones from Sainsbury's - medium size fits me perfectly and I hardly know they're there - I just hope they are .

I buy everything several sizes larger, does that mean I'm not really a size zero anymore?

grannieannie ...that sounds right up my street [as my Nana used to say.] With Sloggies, I buy two sizes larger. Nothing worse than having your nether bits and bobs nipped and tucked!

Sainsbury's knickers are very good value for money but absolutely HUGE compared with Sloggies - you need to get at least one size smaller!

Just a little addition, the secret to a comfortable thong style knicker, is to go one size up. Also, look at the depth of the sort of waist section, the deeper, the more comfortable.

Just been back to the local M&S outlet for second pack of their no vpl, 5 pairs for £6 thongs!

Thanks granknit I will pay a visit to Matalan when I am over in August. Will also check out M&S again although I haven't been too pleased with knickers from there in the past but will be fitted for bras in August because I adore M&S bras the only ones that fit properly.

M&S - no other choice.

Sloggis for me too, but i think quality has declined recently and have discovered something similar in Matalan.

I also find that Sloggis are too tight around the top of my legs. I did try the high cut ones, but found they needed frequent adjustment for comfort. Went back to good old M&S full briefs.

nanaej I love my sloggies! I cannot find any knickers anywhere that fit like sloggies, high cut so I don't feel my blood is being cut off at the top of my legs!

I can get them here in France but they tend to be the cutting the blood off type so when in the UK I stock up.

I can't believe this has reached over 100 posts- its enough to make you wet your.............knickers

petallus Yes

I often wondered what had happened to those disposable pants. Had no idea that donkeys had contributed to their disappearance!

Cast your mind back to the 60s, when the combination of cheap package holidays, disposable paper knickers and mini skirts lead to the undoing of a gormless young colleague of mine. In Spain for the first time, in the broiling heat of August, she signed up with her friends for a donkey trek into the mountains, dressed in a micro mini over paper knickers. By the time of the descent, a lethal combination of heat and friction caused the pants to completely disintegrate and her skirt was too short to tug down to cover her embarrassment - not to mention the donkey's! No wonder those things never caught on.

I certainly appreciated it, phoenix!
At least you weren't walking down the road in your hastily-put-on jeans when suddenly yesterday's knickers emerged from the bottom of one leg....

Well done Annobel - worth sharing with newer members that one!

Oh, that one, I'd somehow managed to erase it from my memory!
