Looking for knickers that don't cut into the thigh!

I am having a problem getting comfortable knickers. I have large thighs and all the ones I can find have seem to be the sort with elastic round the leg that cuts in. I have three wonderful pairs where the leg end is just as stretchy as the rest of the garment but they are wearing out. Any recommendations? The ones I have are from a little old lady shop with dusty window displays but even they now only have the ones with tight legs. Help!

Another vote for M&S Flexifit. No elastic around the legs.
Very soft and comfortable, lots of different styles and colours.

Remember when knickers used to actually cradle your butt cheeks instead of cut across them?
Fed up with having to continually pull them out of the crack!

Another fan of Amazon Wirarpa knickers. Even better than Sloggi in my opinion. I never buy anything else now.

For cheap and cheerful try primark ladies boxer shorts. Really comfortable and a fantastic price

I really like Cotton Traders no VPL shorts or no vpl briefs, but I guess they won’t sell them for much longer as they’re reduced at the moment.

Tesco do Lycra shorts which are very comfortable. They are seamless too so no VPL

who'd have thought there would be so many different types of knickers!
way back in time they were called 'linings' to keep your clothes clean.

I'm another one looking for the perfect knickers. In my case, I want them tight around my legs, I hate that feeling of them riding up and getting stuck in the crack!

I buy no M&S (and other brand eg Temu) vpl pants for my legs and buy a size one above my usual hip size, but don’t tumble dry them as they’ll go saggy.
