This is pants!

As someone who my DS said should have a ‘Danger, Wide Load’ notice on my derrière mine are knickers that Bridget Jones would be proud of! I buy packs of 5 full knickers in plain colours from whatever supermarket I happen to be in. My DH says I’m a big disappointment as he likes lace and frilly bits and would rather I minced about in the bits of string and lace that Anne Summers sells. Hah! Fat chance, I prefer to be comfortable.

Sloggis all the way. The don’t ride up or down, give a little bit of support too. All shapes and styles as well.

I'm another Sloggi slave. They're like a second skin for me and I think their slightly higher price is worth every penny in terms of long lasting and comfort.

Another for M and S midi. I like to be comfortable and have something that will cover my tummy but am not quite ready for full briefs.

Miami knickers are rather nice...

I wear Marks flexi fit - like mini shorts no problems in them slipping - size

I would love to wear pretty lacy undies. Unfortunately I hate to wear sweaty synthetics, and lacy things make me itch and twitch. I can’t wear anything woolly next to my skin, for the same reason, and all garment labels have to be removed.
My pants are comfy cotton big knickers, and my bras are unadorned cotton too. Most of my outer clothing is also cotton, and I bless my cotton socks!

Does anyone really still say panty or panties? Creepy. Millie22 Totally agree. Hate it.

Putting on clean beautiful matching undies is such a great start to the day

I hate high leg briefs, my caesarian overhang looks so unattractive hanging out each side.

More often than not I find that skin coloured pants and therefore bra are required. They’re not very attractive but are suitable for wearing under every type of clothing. I do love a colourful lacy bra and knickers from M&S but can’t wear them very often due to them showing through my clothing. They do of course always have to match!

I like high leg and high waist and you can't seem to get both in the same pants. Will try M&S though. They also do great jeans btw.

Saw high leg cotton briefs in Tesco today. I was looking for the big girls’ pants! Always comfort these days.

Try sloggi's Tai briefs. I wear these and find them a great fit and they are high leg. They aren't cheap but worth investing in as they are great quality, wash great and last for years. I hope this helps you.

Can’t beat Sloggi midi briefs.

Marks & Spencer have knickers in loads of different styles.
There is surely something there that would suit.

Personally, I go for midi styles.
Not too big, but not too small either.
You really couldn’t find anywhere else with such a wide range of undies.

This is me lol

You can't beat Sloggi.

Sloggi all the way, comfortable, neat and a bit of support, love them.

You seem more than fussy, Quizzer. There are countless options for all types of 'pants'. knickers' etc. Have a look in John Lewis, and pants are just about the only item I now buy in M&S - they have a huge range.

Massive wardrobe malfunction every time I've tried boy shorts ,for all the reasons mentioned plus the crotch always seems to fold in on itself , feeling like I'm wearing a tape measure down there.
Agree, M and S for comfy high leg, low leg whatever takes your fancy. I like their microfibre ones as they don't feel synthetic.

Jealous of the lady who can wear no knickers! I'm only 60 but have had to use Tena lady pads for 10 yrs now, even after bladder op which didnt help.
You need a full strong gusset in your knickers to support Maxi pads unfortunately. Oh well

Bless you ladies you have given my day a bumper laugh. Need your help so keep it coming. I hate PJs, but love nightshirts long enough to tuck legs and feet in on a cold night, and with sleeves and grandfather neck. Hate heated bedrooms and closed windows even in winter. So pretty pale colours in brushed cotton ideal. And preferable without having to take out a mortgage to cover the cost.

Oh for the days of Bradley's, near Harvey Nichols at Knightsbridge and Kensington, such lovely things and so comfy. My last purchase from M&S in 1991 so getting quite desperate.

I find Sloggi Maxi ideal and buy one size larger to sit/pull well up onto the traditional waistline. Regardless of being preshrunk, I find there is still a tendency to shrink in the first wash or two.

No knickers not my style, a little too chilly whatever the season.

Nobody sees mine unless I'm transported to A&E and comfort is everything. Nice comfy full briefs for me, thank you!
