Inflating knickers!

Wanted to buy some new knickers today. I’m a larger lady and like a certain brand. Todays price £63 for six pairs! I was astounded. Anybody else found clothes more expensive recently?

Spuddy Asda and similar shops all do different styles at sensibke prices from larger ‘sensible’ down to tiny cheese cutter style thongs …..which must be sooo uncomfortable 😣

Sorry, I was laughing at your headline! youtu.be/7QZ-5Rbu7zU It reminded me of this episode with the bra!

But £63.00 for 6? that's, urm... £10.50 each!

Please excuse me while I pass out!

I remember I used to have these lovely elasticated drawers that would come right up to my waist and they were so comfy and reasonably cheap, now I find it impossible to find them amongst all the microscopic bits with hideous prices!

I get 6 pairs for £7 in Asda. Cotton stretch fit well last ages, suits me.

I used to think a flat bum was desirable but fashions change and now pumped up buttocks are popular.
I saw a young woman wearing bright pink tights or tight trousers with what looked like a padded behind. Bustles are back!

maghiemaybe I still have a 1970s size 8 cocktail dress. 🤣

I think Joseanne is right though- they are to pump up your bum.

Whethertomorrow - I would love some new knickers and although £63 does sound a lot for 6 pairs the Sloggi high-leg sort are currently £17 each so at £10.50 they could be worse.

I hope you find some you like.
May your "preferred" brand have a Black Friday sale do you think?

I have had some of mine for a couple of years, if they last that long then it doesn’t seem so bad.

A couple of years? Some of mine are a lot older than that (though for some reason I do have rather a lot). grin

I have kept a teensy tiny pair from the 1970s, just to remind me of how teensy tiny I once was (sigh).

What a good idea 😁. I'm quite flat at the back.

Good evening gransnetters im claralou and new , im looking forward to joining in on your discussion, if you'll all have me smile

I don’t think I’d pay £63 for six pairs of knickers, although thinking about it, I like M+S knickers, and I like to buy the matching knickers when I buy a bra, and the matching knickers can be expensive. However everyday knickers from M+S come in packs and are much cheaper.

I don’t think any of them inflate grin

Joseann Sat 04-Nov-23 17:43:33

Probably rubber!

Grammaretto Sat 04-Nov-23 17:39:19

Maybe the knickers have special powers?
Are they pure silk?

PamelaJ1 Sat 04-Nov-23 17:35:56

My bottom is big enough, why would I want it to look bigger?🤦🏼‍♀️

I wondered the purpose of inflatable knickers!!

To make your derrière look peachy? 🍑
Like so.

Maggiemaybe Sat 04-Nov-23 17:32:27

That’s what brought me to the thread as well. grin

They sound a bit pricey, OP. What did they cost last time you bought them?
