Question for the Ladies - Magic Knickers!

Loobeylou

What make are the ones which are promoted by Trinny and Susannah, as I have put "Trinny and Susannah Magic Knickers" into the search engine and it is coming up with all makes/shapes/sizes etc.

And ... are they any good? I want some which start just below the bust down to somewhere above the knees.

Advice please.

Debenhams have Maidenform ones which have to coverage you're after - no idea how good they are though. Have a look and see if they're the ones.

Searching for "High waisted long leg briefs" should find them - though 25 quid!

Also - found this on the beeb:

'Magic Knickers'
Most lingerie and hosiery companies produce slimming underwear. 'Magic Knickers' are an item sold as the 'Magic Slimshort', often shown on What Not To Wear. The 'Slimshort' can be obtained from Bodie & Gibbs, 6 Motcomb Street, London SW1. Tel: 020 7259 6620. The brand, and others like it, is also available at most department stores and through online retailers, including: https://www.johnlewis.com, https://www.figleaves.com, and https://www.bareessentials.co.uk, among others.

Now, you may laugh, but I have beige and black ones from primark! They're great!! a few inches under the bust line to the thigh. They got snapped up quick the two times I've seen them there. They also do one for dresses which is longer. They are very snug though - be warned! However, that's the whole thing, they're not meant to be pleasant as such I suppose....

What I wonder though is this - do they have a quick release hatch?

If they are a few inches under the bustline, do they not roll down towards your waist if you sit down or are you meant to stand up all the time?

I got some today from Matalan at £8. Haven't tried them yet but I'm hoping they work!!

Not all the time, they are high enough up to stay there, definitely do their job, but if you're doing something strenous then you might find it irritating.

Welcome Claire18:hello:

Thanks for that, I am going to Matalan tomorrow, I'll look out for them.

When I tried them on they rolled down a bit at the top. I'd just worry about going to the loo while wearing them!
I got them for a ball I'm going to tonight so will try them on with the full outfit when getting ready. I have some HUGE knickers from Debenhams as an alternative :T
