Knickers!!

Hi
Just wondering wheres the best place to buy some!
I used to be a M & S girl but recently their styles have changed and unless you have a flat stomach (which I don't) they roll down - tried a size bigger and worse! its driving me mad! Tried next, matalan no good.
I'm after some short style ones.
Opinions will be greatly received!

    I actually highly reccommend sainsbury's!! They're really good, extremely soft and comfortable for day to day wear while being pretty :) Asda are pretty good too!
  • Hi Christina,
    Like you, I think M&S knickers aren´t as good as they used to be. I find "Sloggi" knickers very good and well made, although they are quite expensive and they have some short styles, although they are everyday basics rather than for special occasions!

    I have yet to find comfy knickers in the UK. I am from South Africa and the most comfy ones were from Woolworths, an equivalent to M&S. The most amazing comfy ones, that keep everything neatly tucked! :D

    I like a broadish elastic at the top, with a high cut leg. if anyone has come across these please let me know where so that I can go view them! :o

    I agree that Sloggi's are comfy but expensive. I always buy mine in Debenhams when they have the 20% sale.

    I got some M&S shorts for Xmas and they stretch right over my tummy! :D
  • Thanks everyone glad its not just me that thinks M & S have gone poor! Also tried figleaves but they were cheap and nasty (material/finish wise)
    Nearest Primark is 1hr30mins away same with Sainsburys
    Not tried Asda - was thinking about trying Tesco...
    Yeh I know Sloggis are great, might try and find some on ebay!!

    I bought some black short type knickers from Tesco, and they have been fine, comfy and warm and have washed well

  • another one who's recently dissapointed with m&s, quality has really gone down hill.:mad:
    got a couple of pairs of lacy (but very silky) shorty type knickers from sainsbury's...so far so good.. they are so comfy yet very pretty:D
    Lead us not into temptation...

    just tell us where it is and we'll find it....
  • Might try Tesco - should I get a bigger size than normal or are they ok?
    Hope they return them if I don't like them!
