Gap Undewear changed. What next?

[Anonymous]

I've worn the cotton bikini underwear from the Gap for decades. It has changed. When I put the new medium pair against one of my older pairs, the cut is different (wider!) and it just does not stay in place. I can't go down a size. What next?? I need cotton, simple bikinis. No lace or other fussy things and definitely nothing too narrow in the bum.

Any ideas?

The Amazon essential ones are pretty good. Conceptually I hate buying underwear from Amazon, but I have found them comfortable, simple, and good quality for the price. I also wear gap but prefer the Amazon.

They don’t last as long as they used to either, but I’ve been wearing Jockey Elance string bikinis for 30+ years. Despite not being as durable, they still don’t ride up, fall down, etc., at least for me. They have many other styles as well. Might be worth a shot.

They also changed their wireless underwire bras. Shame. I pretty only bought from them. No longer. Why do they change a good thing?

Have you tried Old Navy? I wear theirs day-to-day (different cut though).

+1 Jockey is also one of few brands that sells 100% cotton styles.

I left Gap back when GAP Body was still a thing, and converted to Aerie. I really like theirs. Very simple, fits well, no wedgies.

I wear the Organic ones from Gap, those have not changed. Just got some a few weeks ago.

I have to size up in all underwear to get butt coverage now, since everything is "cheeky."

Agree, most underwear is terrible now. I miss the cotton Victoria Secret styles of my college days. Closest I can find is the in-house brand by Bare necessities. Like most underwear these days they are thin, so eventually to see through, but at least they are cotton and not too cheeky

I don't miss them because I still have them... (hides in shame).

But they still have those at pink. They have full bikini cotton underwear.
