Undies, smalls, panties. For something as universally worn as knickers, buying them is a strangely confusing experience. The main issue is sizing: you can’t try them on and, given there is no industry standardisation, it’s essentially pot luck.
But it’s also about what we need from them at any given time. Maybe you’ve just given birth, maybe you’ve got your period, or maybe you’ve finally got back into those jeans but don’t have anything to wear underneath. The idea of having a wardrobe of knicker styles for every occasion seems ludicrous but, equally, there is no one size fits all. Our experts answer your most pressing pant questions.
