Does anyone know if it's possible to buy high leg knickers which are also high waisted? I can't seem to find any which are both. If anyone knows of any please let me know the names of the brand(s). Thank you ladies smile

Sloggi does a high leg high waist, very comfy.

Have you tried Amazon?

i buy mine from studio, high leg and waist up to my belly button...lol, they would probably sit better if i did not have a wobbly belly...lol, have a look if you shop in tesco or asda.

I like Sloggi Maxi. Get them in packs of 3 from J Lewis.

One word - Sloggi.

I love Sloggi knickers but am amazed at how expensive they are. Anyone know who has them on offer at the mo.
Amazon do them, but after reading reviews which some stated they didnt think they were original I feel i dont want to chance buying from there.

marks and Spencer?

They do seem to be as rare as hens teeth grannyrebel

None on Sloggi or M&S .

If you google ‘High leg high waist brief’ a few come up including these .

I agree, but they do last for ever through countless washing and wearing.

Thanks girls smile

Just a warning in case anyone thinks of buying Sloggi Chic maxi briefs. I just bought a pack as they have lacy bits and looked pretty. They are not in any way as comfortable as the normal maxi briefs and tighter round the thighs.
£30 down the drain.

I don't agree that Sloggis last forever. They used to , but the ones I've bought recently have all gone the same way with the elastic tearing away from the cloth at the waistline. I shan't buy them anymore because at £10 per pair I expect better quality. I've bought another variety online at less thank half the price, not glamorous but really comfortable and so far they show no sign of wearing out.

nadateturbe Fri 11-Feb-22 16:41:17

Perhaps you wouldn't mind telling me the brand chicken. I'm very disappointed wirh these. No wonder they were on offer.

saltnshake Fri 11-Feb-22 16:44:26

Try Unibu, British made and very comfortable.

nadateturbe Fri 11-Feb-22 19:09:38

Thanks saltnshake

rubysong Fri 11-Feb-22 19:20:26

I think I must be a funny shape as Sloggis just don't fit comfortably. I buy knickers from tesco. They are not wonderful quality but they are comfortable. I think I also have some from Waitrose which are a bit better quality.

SachaMac Fri 11-Feb-22 19:27:54

M&S and Next

Maggiemaybe Fri 11-Feb-22 19:30:18

I’d second M & S. All my comfiest and longest-lived knickers are from there, and they’ve lots of choice. They’re easy to find online as you can set a filter for high leg and high rise.

I used to wear high waist Sloggies, but totally agree about the elastic coming away from the waistband. Now buy a cheaper brand, Arista from the Original Factory Shop, but they seldom have my size, always plenty of the really large sizes. Much cheaper, don’t feel as substantial as some brands, but comfy and good ish value.

I would second the jockeys. I don't wear that style, but I have always bought jockey underwear and they are good quality.

nadateturbe Fri 11-Feb-22 20:29:21

thanks for all the suggestions

I buy John Lewis own brand knickers. Cotton, high waisted and comfy. I prefer them just a smidgen to M&S.
