I need new pants and wondering if anyone had favourites? Anyone tried bamboo? Finding it hard to get unbleached products.... so bored of plain white apple catchers!!

    If your referring to underpants, I just get boycut all cotton. Doesnt really matter what brand or coloring. If your meaning like regular pants I just wear normal jeans as long as they aren't to tight.

      Ah yes- I forgot the confusion in terminology! I was referring to briefs, or undies! I was told to avoid coloured ones but not sure if it matters too much?

      I haven't noticed a difference in colored verses uncolored. I use detergent for sensitive skin and do a double rinse seems to do the trick for me.

      I read somewhere that the doctors recommend white ones. I just bought new ones today but went up a size as can't cope with tight knickers with this LS

    Hi   I buy all cotton.  Have white ones but also colored.   I just make sure I wash them in very gentle detergent and double rinse them.   Seems to work for me.

    A thought..... Skirts are back! I wear them with no underwear except cotton slips. Minimal chafing...

    I buy 100 % cotton underwear from Amazon. White and colored - doesn’t seem to matter. All free detergent and Seventh Generation paper drier sheets ( others hv fiberglass in them) or liquid fabric softener.

    Bamboo sounds good! I just replaced all mine lol went two sizes bigger than my usual size and it was a great idea! I avoid looking in my mirror though..

    Just stick to cotton and roomy, lol.  I buy full sized cotton briefs from M&S in colours and patterns as well as white and I use two cycles of washing machine, one with laundry detergent and one with nothing added, so that there is no residue at all of detergent and this really does the trick. Useful discussion, thank you!

    Yes, sizing up is a great idea! Why have I been struggling with my same size when they are obviously too tight now? I just noticed this when I wore a dress to a memorial service with just undies. By the time I got home I was sore, although sitting didn’t help. And is it just me or do others also notice awful staining in their undies when using Emuaid Max daily. Yuk!

      I use a 100% cotton pantyliner everyday and change it everytime I go to the bathroom. eumaid regular is not as bad, the Eumaid maxx has 10x the amt of tea tree oil in it- much stronger formula and smell than regular.
