If you can sew then have a try to make your own. It took me a few tries to get the perfect fit pattern but I did it and will not ever be looking back. Once you have a pattern, they can be as pretty, as high, as stretchy and with as much lace as you like.

I started by using old t shirts or an old cotton nightie with stretch. There are lots of knicker-sews on youtube

Another factor in the disappearing gusset is that for those of us who need to use pads for those “ oops moments” as the advert states, the gusset is so narrow the pad overlaps and is not comfortable or satisfactory.
I hope that isn’t TMI but very important for some of us.

I've always bought M&S knickers but lately am finding the gussets far too narrow. Can anyone recommend decent knickers that have decent coverage but don't look like "granny" knickers. I'm a size 8-10 but I don't want thongs. I want proper coverage to bend down gardening in without constantly pulling them from where they've ridden up.
