Sloggi knickers for me every time.

Same here. :tup
I always bought white keks from M&S, but now I think M&S knickers aren't a patch on the quality they used to be years ago, it might have summat to do with the fact that they used to be made in this country and the last few lots I bought were made in Sri Lanka, and after a few washes they went "baggy" and the elastic losing its elasticity and I washed them at the right temperature, but they looked fit for a dishcloth.
I don't buy new for a holiday and I don't take more than 4/5 pairs for 2 weeks because I wear my bikini as a bra and knickers throughout the day and they rinse through in minutes, then I wear my keks for a couple of hours in the evening and rinse them through in the sink with some travel wash and roll the excess water out in a towel.
I only wear the best if there's a chance I might end up at the hospital :rofl

M&S cotton ones for me too, usually white and a couple of pair of nude/skintone short type for wearing under my white crops. Usually 10 pair in total and always new.

I always buy new underwear and bras when I go away but most of the time if it's too hot never end up wearing them. :)

Some lovely nude ones in Debenhams, lovely and soft. Well I bought 2 matching sets in M& S today - had to have the nylon bottoms tho1 Called in La Senza but all their knickers seemed minute. I'm only a size 12, but they looked as though they'd only go round one leg :rofl

I go for a few nude coloured as well as I wear lots of white linen on hols and they don't show through. Debenhams have some knickers called Magic Knockers which I believe don't show through at all they are £4 a pair, think I will try a couple of pairs for my next holiday , they are completely seamless.

You made me laugh shirleyV " Magic Knockers " sorry

I never buy new, and 4 knickers and 2 bras are enough, no matter how long I am away.

Hi Lassigirl- where do you buy your second hand knickers? Jumble sales, E-bay or charity shops? :rofl

I knew what you meant Lassigirl ;)

I now always prefer to take stuff that has been tried and tested and that I know is going to be comfortable ever since the time I took a new set of underwear on holiday that turned out to be sooo uncomfortable because the lace trim was so scratchy! Wore bra and pants the once and then tossed them back in the case for the remainder of the holiday. And especially with knickers - so important to know that they won't ride up/slip down (yes, that's also happened too!) etc.

As for colour I now stick with flesh coloured and then it goes udner everything - especially white skirts and trousers. Doesn't seem to matter how thick the material is - white pants always seem to show through and I hate it!
