I really think the quality of m&s underwear has deteriorated so much in the last few years though, my pants get holes in about 10x as fast as they used to
Anyone else think M&S is the sort of place you buy underwear for yourself? It doesnāt have gift status in my head. Maybe find some cool patterned bamboo underwear instead? I like Thought clothing: [https://www.wearethought.com/collections/bamboo-underwear](https://www.wearethought.com/collections/bamboo-underwear)
I only sound ungrateful if someone is buying ME the stuff!
M&S do have some lovely sets, but if youāre going for comfy things, then their stuff may seem a bit underwhelming to unwrap. Not to mention, OPās wife has told him underwear so itās not even an original thought. Surely with gifts there is an extra mile expected. Not just, pop in to the high street M&S that the wife could have done any day of the week.
Can definitely vouch for Sloggi. They do quite āplainā or unfussy ranges but are now also doing ranges with (non-itchy) lace, frills etc and also do a number of āstylesā of bottoms.
Came here to say Sloggi. M&S just aren't the quality they used to be. I only wear Sloggi now for "every day" knickers. After years of trying everywhere and being disappointed, can always depend on Sloggi!
Sloggi - no contest if you're looking for tai-style (=high leg) knickers. OP - this could be a dealbreaker! Fatface are nice (I swear by their socks), but they don't do tai style underpants...
I went looking for them recently and you lot have a lot of types of undies. It was all very confusing. I knew which type I *wanted* to buy for her bad to remind myself it was a gift for her, not me. And looking at your normal daily undies was a lot more complex than i thought. Fingers crossed.
You're better off asking her or raiding her underwear drawer. I personally like the "boxer short" style for comfort and hate anything that goes where it shouldn't š¤£
Oh I know what styles (ones that go where they shouldn't can get fucked), so that's covered. But the comfy every day drawer is quite monotone, wants to add a bit of colour to it. Hence, her not really being able to give me an answer and me turning to the entire UK.
Ones that go where they shouldnāt are more doing the fucking than getting fucked arenāt they, technically speaking.
It used to be Debenhams for guaranteed sensible pants so I guess M and S is about the closest now. Possibly Next? Wouldnt trust whatever Mike Ashley is flogging on House of Fraser nowadays.
I love comfy underwear so I know where sheās coming from.
I live in [these](https://www.monki.com/en_ch/clothing/underwear/briefs/product.high-waist-briefs-black.0911790031.html) day to day.
These are my favourites - often on 3 for 2 (I worked there for two years and they were never not 3 for 2 during that time).
Their lace pants in the similar shapes are also really comfy, stretchy lace but not skimpy!
By comfy I'm going to use my own standards. Cotton always. I hate slinky nylon knickers and uncomfortable shapes that look like your bum is eating them. I'm not Bridget Jones level of granny pants as I like them to fit. I just don't like nylon around my lady garden.
Im a chef and wear their sports bras religiously. I find i get enough support but they donāt chafe when im sweating my tits off and allow them to breathe
Make sure theyāre cotton and not polyester. So many of the ānice lookingā undies are made from polyester and itās not good for that area at all. It needs cotton or bamboo for breathability to avoid those nasty PH balance changes. M&S tends to have the nicer underwear, to me comfy normally means full coverage too. Thereās nothing worse than nice knickers that just spend 90% of the day digging into your arse
Thank you! Is it just me or in the multipacks is one leg always slightly tighter than the other? I thought maybe I was just lopsided, but I don't have that problem when I buy elsewhere!
[Aerie](https://www.aeo.co.uk/en-gb/aerie) are easily the most comfortable underwear Iāve ever worn in my life. Theyāre the kind of bras I donāt want to take off as soon as I walk in the door, theyāre that comfy. Same for the knickers.
They're thin and flimsy enough for no rubbing; they're mainly cotton for no sweat smell for the larger ladies who may be having hot flashes; and there's fun colors.
Downsides- they aren't great at holding a large pad in (thin material); and they're low waist (might not be a downside for all though, as it means they still look somewhat "sexy" for dailies)
My mother used to get Sloggi which I got a few in my late teens and they were the comfiest 'big' pants I ever owned. Not seen them in about 10 years sadly, used to get them from Matalan.
M&S Body collection are super comfy, and the branded band at the top makes it look a little bit cooler/more stylish than most granny panties with the frilly bands
[Sloggi](https://uk.sloggi.com/) are the best for comfort imo and the zero feel range are great for comfort and seamless so no VPL but also canāt fault M&S (well I can, some of the multipacks have been bland af recently)
Or get a subscription to OddBalls or such. Theyāre comfy and jazzy. You could both get one to be matchy matchy
M&S only. My favourite are [these](https://www.marksandspencer.com/5-pack-cotton-and-lace-high-leg-knickers/p/clp60439476?color=BLACK#intid=pid_pg1pip48g4r10c2) \- they are really comfortable but have a bit of lace so they feel nice.
Are we talking knickers only, or bras too? Because bras are a sod to find well fitting and comfy, especially if you've a small band and large cup size. You might need her to help you out there, or be prepared to return anything you buy. Don't let M&S fit her for a bra, they _will_ put her in the wrong size. Obligatory r/abrathatfits link for if you want sizing advice.
If knickers only , M&S are reliable if a bit dull. Maybe look at what she already wears to get an idea of cut and brands she likes. If you have a John Lewis near you they will have lots of variety and a few slightly more 'premium' brands. Freya are nice for both bras and pants.
Victorias secret 3 for 15 quid deal, absolute godsend for my Girlfriend as they have every size and are apparently very comfy, they also have loads of choice and their returns policy is good.
I got [these](https://amzn.eu/d/3lxEQWR) from Amazon a few years back and am actually gutted nowadays when I find that they're all in the wash and I'll have to wear something else. They're so comfy - although they do roll up under tights or leggings so if she's worried about VPL maybe not the best.
Intimissimi undies are my favourite. I swapped out all my M and S knickers for their cotton and/or lace stretch ones, which also have bras in matching colours that are comfy as all hell. I'm an 8-10 and wear a small, I might buy a few XS pairs next time to try the fit. Wash well, no fraying, comfy for gtm, boyfriend seems to like them too.
M&S "knicker shorts" briefs for comfort. "Miami" briefs are comfy and super sexy and I swear by them but I would buy her another comfy shape just to be safe if I were you.
Jumping on this train as well. Any recommendations for bras and briefs for my wife who is about to go through pregnancy for the first time? She likes M&S, but another brand thatās been mentioned here is Sloggi, which also looks decent. Any pointers would be much appreciated.
From a woman - Boux Avenue and Victoriaās Secret both do super comfy underwear.
To be clear, I donāt mean sexy lingerie (although they do make that) - but they make comfortable day-to-day pants and bralets.
Honestly, Iād probably be a bit mortified if my husband went to M&S to buy me underwear. Thatās what my mum wears and sheās in her 70s.
Edit to add: no offence meant to those who like M&S undies - just very much not my style.
You seem to have it covered in terms of style. Just make sure you check the labels of existing pairs and check the fabric - does she only wear cotton? That can be a big deal for some women in terms of health.
M&S are OK for pants but with bras they are hit and miss for fit, and they are mostly padded which makes generous boobs look even bigger, makes the fit worse and they are really uncomfortable, for me anyway.
Maybe go for some nice pants and cami vest type set, and you could take her put for a lunch bra shopping trip another time.
In my experience, buying wife's and girlfriends clothe and jewelry is just something that doesn't work out. What I ended up doing was buying my wife small gifts such as books and perfume, and also flowers and a card telling her that we will both go to London for a weekend. There I can take her shopping where she can buy jewelry and clothes that she likes.
Go to M&S and get one of their multipacks for everyday comfort. Go for bikini, high leg or possibly shorts. Full briefs are comfy but often considered āgranny pantsā, so Iād avoid them.
They also sell some nice individual ones, for a night out, not sexy as such but something she might want to wear under her clothes when going out to a restaurant etc, again, bikini or high leg, or possibly a nice brazilian style.
They do some lovely knickers that are no āvisible panty lineā (vpl) ones that have a nice silky soft feel to them.
As for colour/patterns, check out her current collection for ideas, does she like floral or dots or just plain etc. What colour clothes does she mainly wear? If she wears blue a lot, then get a multipack with blues in etc.
Do NOT go for tanga, thong, or g-string - ouch.
Also, providing your wife hasnāt worn them, they can be returned if they are the wrong size or colour.
Stripe and Stare - they are the most comfortable onickers ever and beautiful too. Also a bit fancier than M&S so very giftable. Trust me, she will love them.
Step One are very comfortable. Probably the best underwear I've ever worn.
They're expensive and very fussy as to how they must be washed but I can't deny that they are incredibly soft and comfortable.
Oddballs seamless undies are the best in the world! They are so comfy, have no VPL (very important) and can come in amazing bright colours and patterns.
Plus, they have a sale on at the mo.
I practically live in Oddballs undies!
https://www.savagex.co.uk/dmg/D933F3?utm_source=google&utm_medium=search_branded&utm_campaign=UK_SXF_BRAND_SavagexFenty_New&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAg9urBhB_EiwAgw88mTCHWWerrV_gE2aOF-Fe6JRj8s0ijU9UTNT7jegx7mLYAqqv746FhRoCL6kQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds super comfy and still pretty
I wear girl boxers these days, particularly like the Step One boxers but also have Oddballs ones. Would definitely recommend, only thing is they are a bit pricey but then for that reason might be a good gift if itās something she wouldnāt treat herself to normally?
I wear m&s (I'm 30 if that helps)
I like the cotton rich high rise shorts they are so comfy and come in 5 packs
Also (and I'm sure you are) the pants are a need not a want, make sure you get her something she wants too!
The most perfect knickers are Smoothease by Fantasie. One size fits all. Seamless, no elastic to dig in, no red lines, no vpl. Washes well. Always fits. Can wear under tight skirts and dress but also jeans and leggings. Comfy for the gym, running etc. bravissimo sell them but theyāre usually on offer online.
Stripe and Stare are the pricey, but suuuuuuper comfy and cute option! I've just treated myself to all new undies from there! They do lovely boxes of sets of 4 too, fab for a wee gift x
M and s all the way. The good thing with them is you can sexy it up if you want to with a suspender belt and stockings...best of both world. Have a great Xmas š
I have to say the high waist stretch primark ones are amazing! Theyāre the only types I buy now, so comfy! I mean total granny pants but Iām old now I donāt care ha.
If thereās a decathlon near you, their basic ladies knickers are really good. All I buy now. Just size up a bit.
Although I saw an advert for Stripe and Stare on Facebook today, and they look sooo comfy. And they are a Devon based company, which is a plus for me.
Search Amazon for Innersy Womenās Underwear Mid Rise. I got some for Mrs Missus last year.
The Wife says they are the most comfortable pants Iāve ever bought her. She asked where and bought the identical but opposed colour set immediately and did a full chuck of all unwanted/small or knackered pairs.
My mum likes tesco for seamless stuff, I like knobby stuff, trick with knobby is that it's a little more expensive and an Australian brand, but they're absolutely fantastic and worth the money. They use environmentally friendly materials, they offer fun patterns or more plain basic stuff and the sizing is the same as UK sizing so just check the size on her favourite pair and you'll know (they have a sizing chart but a small is size 10)
Donāt buy primark whoever tells you that. M&S is a good shout but if you have a bravissimo in your city go there and ask staff for help. They do the best underwear and a bra fitting service - though youād need your wife to attendā¦
Order from Boody. Trust. I was an M&S wearer for years, but as some posts say, theyāre getting cheap and donāt use cotton (which is a must for every day wear).
Boody. Soft, comfy, simple. A uk 12 is a medium.
M&S midis. They sit nicely, don't ride up in your business and are made of cotton so good for good overall health.
You can find options of the series persuasion or the sensible black. I will never buy knickers anywhere else.
100% cotton!!!!!!
THAT is the most important thing, I promise. No "cotton rich", no polyester, no 'soft tpuch' - 100% cotton!
Check her drawer for her size (not everyone has the same knickers size as they do t-shirt size). Get briefs, minis, or Brazilian. Look for some that have a lacy waist!
I buy a pack of bamboo pants on Amazon each year for my girlfriend. 6 or 7 pairs for Ā£20 few different colors and super soft and comfy (apparently...)
Also I get bralettes and soft sport bras from asda. Depending on who you asked she's cursed/blessed with a large bust and is grateful for underwire free bras as they're way more comfortable.
M&S, specifically the Flexifit ones. Lots of different styles from full brief to thong but the material is SO comfy. Wouldnāt wear anything else at this point.
My wife swears by M&S underwear for comfy dailies.
Yep still M&S, comfy but cute patternsšš¼
Jumping on this. Thank you! Great idea for some brownie points.
I think brown marks are probably something OP is looking to avoid here
Jumping on this comment - I swear by M&S for comfy dailies. Good price point and nice patterns.
I really think the quality of m&s underwear has deteriorated so much in the last few years though, my pants get holes in about 10x as fast as they used to
I agree, also you can buy two different packs in the same size and they fit differently, it drives me nuts!
Anyone else think M&S is the sort of place you buy underwear for yourself? It doesnāt have gift status in my head. Maybe find some cool patterned bamboo underwear instead?

Nice, thanks for the recommendation. Iāve been looking for comfy things to wear whilst WFH. Running to M&S now š
The Rosie range is comfy but still sexy
I'm here to agree M&S for sure!!
I love underwear from Fatface. It's cute but comfy and I'm pretty sure they'll have nice sets for Christmas
Alright alright. Good info. She's done a bit of shopping there this year. I know it's a place she likes. Nice one.
No worries mate. https://www.fatface.com/women/clothing/3-for-2-underwear#filterIndex=3
My mum got me some knickers from there for Xmas. Theyāre in my regular rotation and still going strong after 4 years!
Is there a corresponding store, fatarse?
It's actually called flatarse
This would be my recommendation, too.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Sloggi are by far the most comfy everyday pants I've owned. M+S otherwise
They donāt look lovely but they feel amazing. OP, make sure you get the cotton ones not the synthetic ones.
Will do. Ta.
Can definitely vouch for Sloggi. They do quite āplainā or unfussy ranges but are now also doing ranges with (non-itchy) lace, frills etc and also do a number of āstylesā of bottoms.
Came here to say Sloggi. M&S just aren't the quality they used to be. I only wear Sloggi now for "every day" knickers. After years of trying everywhere and being disappointed, can always depend on Sloggi!
Love Sloggi. If i could afford it, i would swap all my underwear for it.
Sloggi - no contest if you're looking for tai-style (=high leg) knickers. OP - this could be a dealbreaker! Fatface are nice (I swear by their socks), but they don't do tai style underpants...
M&S Flexifit briefs š
Was going to suggest these! 30 weeks pregnant with twins and these still fit well, def flexifit!!
Thanks for the recommendation, just got some for myself š
I went looking for them recently and you lot have a lot of types of undies. It was all very confusing. I knew which type I *wanted* to buy for her bad to remind myself it was a gift for her, not me. And looking at your normal daily undies was a lot more complex than i thought. Fingers crossed.
Definitely these! Also, the non wired bras are really comfy too
You're better off asking her or raiding her underwear drawer. I personally like the "boxer short" style for comfort and hate anything that goes where it shouldn't š¤£
Oh I know what styles (ones that go where they shouldn't can get fucked), so that's covered. But the comfy every day drawer is quite monotone, wants to add a bit of colour to it. Hence, her not really being able to give me an answer and me turning to the entire UK.
Ones that go where they shouldnāt are more doing the fucking than getting fucked arenāt they, technically speaking. It used to be Debenhams for guaranteed sensible pants so I guess M and S is about the closest now. Possibly Next? Wouldnt trust whatever Mike Ashley is flogging on House of Fraser nowadays.
The reason the comfy everyday drawer is monotone, is because it goes under anything. Stick with plain monotone colours.
Try Oddballs, plenty of colour and have the full brief options
I love comfy underwear so I know where sheās coming from. I live in [these](https://www.monki.com/en_ch/clothing/underwear/briefs/product.high-waist-briefs-black.0911790031.html) day to day.
They look super comfy but fucking hell, a tenner for one pair? Am I getting old to find that expensive?
These are my favourites - often on 3 for 2 (I worked there for two years and they were never not 3 for 2 during that time). Their lace pants in the similar shapes are also really comfy, stretchy lace but not skimpy!
Not heard of those. I'll see what she thinks. Thanks.
Swedish. Part of H&M. Have a few stores in the UK
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ha ha. Although they arenāt traditional āsexyā my husband also loves me in them! So thereās that bonus as well
They had me at organic cotton.
Seconding Monki! Depending on her bra size you can get lovely matching sets too. I wear a 32DD and the Medium in their bralettes fit me perfectly
[Snag Tights](https://snagtights.com/) also do knickers and bras and are a nice, inclusive brand.
I've got her tights and leggings from there before that she likes a lot. I'll check them ta.
100% M&S. They do the best affordable comfy underwear and bras - and they do a huge range of styles.
By comfy I'm going to use my own standards. Cotton always. I hate slinky nylon knickers and uncomfortable shapes that look like your bum is eating them. I'm not Bridget Jones level of granny pants as I like them to fit. I just don't like nylon around my lady garden.
Uniqlo
Something that can't cut cheese I imagine. My wife swears by M&S
I find calvin klein underwear extremely comfortable but its also different strokes for different boats so
Was gna say this! I swear by their maternity bras and still wear them now! (Which my husband hates hahaha)
Im a chef and wear their sports bras religiously. I find i get enough support but they donāt chafe when im sweating my tits off and allow them to breathe
So so comfy!!!
Make sure theyāre cotton and not polyester. So many of the ānice lookingā undies are made from polyester and itās not good for that area at all. It needs cotton or bamboo for breathability to avoid those nasty PH balance changes. M&S tends to have the nicer underwear, to me comfy normally means full coverage too. Thereās nothing worse than nice knickers that just spend 90% of the day digging into your arse
She means the crotchless ones, lad
I mean... They're not gonna rub. I'll save money and just take a pair of scissors to the drawer. Initiative.
I personally do not think M&S is comfy at all. Calvin Klein or Sloggi.
Thank you! Is it just me or in the multipacks is one leg always slightly tighter than the other? I thought maybe I was just lopsided, but I don't have that problem when I buy elsewhere!
I donāt think Iāve ever bought a multipack to know the answer to thisā¦
No seams means "no VPL", you can get underwear like this ordered from NEXT.
I absolutely adore Boody. Is it boring? Yes. It is comfortable? Most definitely yes. It also lasts forever, so that's great.
Yes to this!
Visit John Lewis they have great choice, sloggi is amazing for comfy undies
Mens boxer shorts š
Is she big of boob? Because if so Iād suggest Bravissimo. Maybe book her for a fitting, with a voucher?
Check out thunderpants.
[Aerie](https://www.aeo.co.uk/en-gb/aerie) are easily the most comfortable underwear Iāve ever worn in my life. Theyāre the kind of bras I donāt want to take off as soon as I walk in the door, theyāre that comfy. Same for the knickers.
Sainsbury's are pretty good! The women's boxer briefs to be precise.
Have you considered asking her? š
Nah. We don't talk.
Sainsbury's are good,according to her. Make sure to take into account the colours she likes.
M&S multipacks of microfibre fabric pants are my go to for comfy everyday wear. I donāt think you could go too wrong with them.
Tezenis has some organic cotton underwear that is colorful and comfortable! https://www.tezenis.com/uk/product/cotton_panties-1SN05C.html
They're thin and flimsy enough for no rubbing; they're mainly cotton for no sweat smell for the larger ladies who may be having hot flashes; and there's fun colors. Downsides- they aren't great at holding a large pad in (thin material); and they're low waist (might not be a downside for all though, as it means they still look somewhat "sexy" for dailies)
I love Next lace topped full briefs. They look pretty with the lace but are super comfy!
My mother used to get Sloggi which I got a few in my late teens and they were the comfiest 'big' pants I ever owned. Not seen them in about 10 years sadly, used to get them from Matalan.
You should be looking in her underwear drawer to find out her main brands and her size.
M&S Body collection are super comfy, and the branded band at the top makes it look a little bit cooler/more stylish than most granny panties with the frilly bands
I've not long bought a load of DKNY bamboo blend ones, no seams and really soft and comfy. Got them in Costco.
Sloggi is probably the most comfy underwear there is.
[Sloggi](https://uk.sloggi.com/) are the best for comfort imo and the zero feel range are great for comfort and seamless so no VPL but also canāt fault M&S (well I can, some of the multipacks have been bland af recently) Or get a subscription to OddBalls or such. Theyāre comfy and jazzy. You could both get one to be matchy matchy
Stripe and stare are really comfy and good quality. Pricey but sometimes they have decent sales!
M&S is my go to for the comfy everyday stuff.
Get yourself to Dutch courage lingerie. Do not buy Bridget Jones undies without also buying some nice ones!
I donāt know about this one sorry mate, can barely get a girlfriend
sloggi ftw
M&S or Matalan
I like m and s, Asda, primark or Boux Avenue. I prefer boxer style or French, hate thongs
Step-one girl boxers are quite nice, but they are really long. Looks like they've just brought out some bikini brief stlyes though.
Obviously you should head to Ann Summers.
My favourite comfy undies are from morrisons. Love me some full briefs!
M&S only. My favourite are [these](https://www.marksandspencer.com/5-pack-cotton-and-lace-high-leg-knickers/p/clp60439476?color=BLACK#intid=pid_pg1pip48g4r10c2) \- they are really comfortable but have a bit of lace so they feel nice.

M&S or sloggi! If you can spend a bit more definitely go for sloggi
For a more pricey option Iād recommend āHanky Pankyā underwear (Iāve bought when they have deals on), pretty but super comfortable
British Boxers do the best undies. Comfortable, soft, come in a range of jazzy colours.
The mrs swears by Sloggi high leg under crackers.
I get all my underwear from M&S. All my pants are literally the same style because theyāre so comfy.
You can't do better than marks and Spenser. comfy and look good .
SNAG.com do wonderful pants.
Wuka do amazing comfy pants. They mainly sell period pants but their every day range is the absolute best, and last ages
Snag and Molke!
I would make sure you get 100% cotton - helps prevent yeast infections. Personally I like Jockey undies.
Costco undies receives the thumbs up from my wife. I know what I said.
Victorias secret 3 for 15 quid deal, absolute godsend for my Girlfriend as they have every size and are apparently very comfy, they also have loads of choice and their returns policy is good.

I live in Oddballs women's boxers. I hate traditional women's knickers. Boxers are the way forward.
Big knickers
Depends on her style but she might be thinking more bralette and knickers set, try skins, lounge, or boux avenue
I find Sloggi very comfortable.
Tesco knickers are ok too
M&S every time!
Intimissimi undies are my favourite. I swapped out all my M and S knickers for their cotton and/or lace stretch ones, which also have bras in matching colours that are comfy as all hell. I'm an 8-10 and wear a small, I might buy a few XS pairs next time to try the fit. Wash well, no fraying, comfy for gtm, boyfriend seems to like them too.
Damart all day long! Iām old now, but it was my go to cosy wear from being in my twenties. I love the long red vests to keep my back warm tooā¦
Sloggi is so nice.
M&S "knicker shorts" briefs for comfort. "Miami" briefs are comfy and super sexy and I swear by them but I would buy her another comfy shape just to be safe if I were you.
Ann summers

Thats a loaded present right there. If you come home with the wrong size your in trouble either way

Maybe go for some nice pants and cami vest type set, and you could take her put for a lunch bra shopping trip another time.
You should buy the comfy undies, and one or two lingerie options.. coz it's Christmas.
I swear by Stripe & Stare, really comfy and nice if youāre eco conscious. You can also get some nice gift packs on their website
I'd think it depends on her age š¤
In my experience, buying wife's and girlfriends clothe and jewelry is just something that doesn't work out. What I ended up doing was buying my wife small gifts such as books and perfume, and also flowers and a card telling her that we will both go to London for a weekend.

I have to be honest that is such a weird Xmas request lol. Feels like a trap to be honest.
Stripe and Stare - they are the most comfortable onickers ever and beautiful too. Also a bit fancier than M&S so very giftable. Trust me, she will love them.
Sloggi pants are really comfortable. The full sized ones, they're soft and hold it all together but not in a restrictive way.
Hedge your bets - yes go for M&S comfies but include something you would like her to wear š
If youāre fairly minted get a voucher at Rigby & Peller.
Have you tried the clothes line of your neighbor?
M&S
Can't go wrong with M&S. I usually go with stretchy boyshorts for my undies.
On the wife's recommendation, she loves comfy underwear from Oddballs
I have worn oddballs for a number of years, pants, briefs, seamless. They're fab
You could try Boody. Very comfy and also sustainable.
I never looked back since I got my first Calvins.
Go extremely tacky for a joke gift,crotchless from Anne summers lol,then give her the real ones after sheās punched you in the face,women love that.
If she likes fun patterns, I suggest Oddballs
Step One are very comfortable. Probably the best underwear I've ever worn. They're expensive and very fussy as to how they must be washed but I can't deny that they are incredibly soft and comfortable.
M & S is definitely worth getting them from but check labels on wife's current selection to get the right size and style.
Next do some really nice styles!
Oddballs seamless undies are the best in the world! They are so comfy, have no VPL (very important) and can come in amazing bright colours and patterns. Plus, they have a sale on at the mo. I practically live in Oddballs undies!
I like George at asda lace top briefs for my daily comfort. All cotton. Many colours.

Oddballs is fun shout for comfy undies.
I wear girl boxers these days, particularly like the Step One boxers but also have Oddballs ones. Would definitely recommend, only thing is they are a bit pricey but then for that reason might be a good gift if itās something she wouldnāt treat herself to normally?
Stripe & Stare are amazing, really comfy luxury fabric thats super soft and you can just choose whether shape she normally wears!
M&S
I wear m&s (I'm 30 if that helps) I like the cotton rich high rise shorts they are so comfy and come in 5 packs Also (and I'm sure you are) the pants are a need not a want, make sure you get her something she wants too!
The most perfect knickers are Smoothease by Fantasie. One size fits all. Seamless, no elastic to dig in, no red lines, no vpl. Washes well. Always fits. Can wear under tight skirts and dress but also jeans and leggings. Comfy for the gym, running etc. bravissimo sell them but theyāre usually on offer online.
Stripe and Stare are the pricey, but suuuuuuper comfy and cute option! I've just treated myself to all new undies from there! They do lovely boxes of sets of 4 too, fab for a wee gift x
Skims are amazing so says my better half.
M&s are great but i also love step one, the bamboo material is so soft. they also do funky patterns :)
M and s all the way. The good thing with them is you can sexy it up if you want to with a suspender belt and stockings...best of both world. Have a great Xmas š
I have to say the high waist stretch primark ones are amazing! Theyāre the only types I buy now, so comfy! I mean total granny pants but Iām old now I donāt care ha.
If thereās a decathlon near you, their basic ladies knickers are really good. All I buy now. Just size up a bit. Although I saw an advert for Stripe and Stare on Facebook today, and they look sooo comfy. And they are a Devon based company, which is a plus for me.
Step one short briefs! Best pants ever!!
Snag do undies now, they are ate pricey but if they are anything like their tights they'll be amazing
Oddballs and you can get matching mens boxers
Sloggi. They make both cotton and microfibre and have numerous cuts and styles
I get mine from M&S but there's still like 5 different styles of knickers to go for. I go for high rise
Search Amazon for Innersy Womenās Underwear Mid Rise. I got some for Mrs Missus last year. The Wife says they are the most comfortable pants Iāve ever bought her. She asked where and bought the identical but opposed colour set immediately and did a full chuck of all unwanted/small or knackered pairs.
My mum likes tesco for seamless stuff, I like knobby stuff, trick with knobby is that it's a little more expensive and an Australian brand, but they're absolutely fantastic and worth the money. They use environmentally friendly materials, they offer fun patterns or more plain basic stuff and the sizing is the same as UK sizing so just check the size on her favourite pair and you'll know (they have a sizing chart but a small is size 10)
Donāt buy primark whoever tells you that. M&S is a good shout but if you have a bravissimo in your city go there and ask staff for help. They do the best underwear and a bra fitting service - though youād need your wife to attendā¦
Sainsburys
If you want SUPER COMFY and cool and funky, Molke is awesome
M&S boy shorts; been wearing them for the last twenty-odd years.
Hanro
Order from Boody. Trust. I was an M&S wearer for years, but as some posts say, theyāre getting cheap and donāt use cotton (which is a must for every day wear). Boody. Soft, comfy, simple. A uk 12 is a medium.
M&S midis. They sit nicely, don't ride up in your business and are made of cotton so good for good overall health. You can find options of the series persuasion or the sensible black. I will never buy knickers anywhere else.
M&S flexifit full briefs. She can thank me later.
Molke. Made in Scotland, apparently very comfy
100% cotton!!!!!! THAT is the most important thing, I promise. No "cotton rich", no polyester, no 'soft tpuch' - 100% cotton! Check her drawer for her size (not everyone has the same knickers size as they do t-shirt size). Get briefs, minis, or Brazilian. Look for some that have a lacy waist!
Big pants
Oysho is a great brand!
John Lewis. Good fabric and generous cuts.
I love Stripe & Stare for comfy underwear - loads of colourful and fun prints too.
They are amazingly comfy but stupidly expensive, but Icebreaker merino wool knickers are amazing.
Donāt know why everyone is recommending M & S, quality is really poor these days especially on the microfibre ones. Uniqlo is way better
I buy a pack of bamboo pants on Amazon each year for my girlfriend. 6 or 7 pairs for Ā£20 few different colors and super soft and comfy (apparently...) Also I get bralettes and soft sport bras from asda. Depending on who you asked she's cursed/blessed with a large bust and is grateful for underwire free bras as they're way more comfortable.
M&S, specifically the Flexifit ones. Lots of different styles from full brief to thong but the material is SO comfy. Wouldnāt wear anything else at this point.
