This is pants!

I always buy mine from M and S lots of choice whatever your preference. Does anyone really still say panty or panties? Creepy.

Can't bear most words for woman's underwear. Knickers & panties are toe curling. - Underpants 'cos that's exactly what they are. ?

Forgot to mention that Sloggi do cotton 'shorts' which are very comfortable. That's all I buy now.

I also buy my knickers from M+S mostly. I often buy the matching knickers to a bra, but am becoming less impressed with those as sometimes they’re not so comfortable. I wear high legs or midi knickers, never thongs, Brazilian, or any other types. Comfort is the most important factor for me, but I do like pretty as well, so long as they’re comfortable.

I wear M&S full knickers and bought some of their microfibre ones to try fairly recently. They are so stretchy and comfortable that I bought some more even although I didn’t need them! ?

M&S midis brilliant. Just wish they had a bit more choice of colours apart from black and white.

M&S and Next still offer high leg - the only ones that suit me. Can't bear the boy shorts. M&S also do some smooth no VPL brazillian style which are great under trousers. Don't wear them with a dress because they ride up.

Try men's cotton boxers.

I am nearly 80.
I wear white cotton bikini briefs from M and S
Better than anything.
(A size smaller than I am because M and S sizes are generous.)

M&S still do high leg, and several other versions.
Sold in packs, or singles, if you don't like the packs.

M&S still sell high leg knickers. I stopped wearing those as they rode up and gave me a 'wedgie' and I now prefer their midi style - not granny pants but more comfortable.

Not sure about lace pattern on your bum - I have several pairs like that but quite honestly, who's going to see it!!!

Just on the subject of ‘grey’ undies....I don’t have any at all, I only use Tesco own bio washing powder and whites stay white, even older items.

I've found granny pants - or more precisely high leg and on the waist pants - so much better when wearing trousers. The side seams of trousers irritate me around the hips, and the delightfully comfortable silky fabric lingerie from M and S has stopped me squirming about as I did when wearing my usual high leg bikini briefs. I tried French knickers once - absolute hell. They rode up and I could hardly walk!

Amazon or similar will have them. I buy mine online as I know what I want to be comfortable and avoid VPL

Kate 1949 Thank you. Good to know M&S are selling high leg. That style always makes me feel my stubby legs are longer.

And to all those out there asking who sees them - no one but they make me smile.

Another vote for sloggi I like the weekend one which have lovely colours and a lace edge

I threw all my pants away when lockdown ended! I bought new hi leg one in M&S also some higher waisted ones with lace panels at the front. I agree about the shorts, luckily I had jeans on when mine fell down!

Sloggis for me...a bit Bridget Jones, but I'm not going to show anyone!

Sloggis for me. A bit Bridget Jones, but I'm not going to show them to anyone!

Has anyone thought this could have been written by someone with a fetish in ladies underwear?
I notice Quizzer hasn’t responded.

I'm tall but not as slim these days but these M+S ones sit higher up - closer to waist on me. www.marksandspencer.com/5-pack-cotton-and-lace-high-leg-knickers/p/clp60374267?extid=ps_ps-gpla_ggl_lg_ch__-_UK_-_-_-&&ds_a_cid=65970745&gclid=CjwKCAjwyo36BRAXEiwA24CwGQtsTbMsZcG9orGXn43J2fhAR-NExv4U8dC1fLk__MqqmcVHBTDaRBoCzd0QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

So good you named them twice Issipy.

None for me since the idiot doctor did severe damage when treating vulva cancer with a laser. He didn’t even leave clear margins!

I used to try and wear different types of knickers when attending parties or special events (addled brain cells) and would end up having to bin them in the ladies lavatories as I only had a clutch bag and didn’t want to have any mishaps if I opened the bag.

I did have a bright idea twenty years ago and googled silk French knickers thinking they might work. It was certainly an education!

In my world men and Americans wear underpants so knickers is fine with me. Each to their own.

I’ve resigned myself to mid calf skirts and dresses and hoping not to take a tumble and bare my all.

There's lots of nice high legs in M & S. I buy the pack of 7 cotton ones for every day work wear and then pretty ones for going out. No idea why as it's only my husband & myself that see them lol

The problem with the shorts is the lack of elastic on the top. An awful lit have a lacy edging. The lace on the rear of knickers is obviously meant for folk who never sit down. I am not a huge fan of M & S underwear but they do high, mid waist and shorts. Mid waist may be worth a try though high waist sometimes can be quite low almost like a short.
