My sister in law missed UK cotton undies when she moved to Australia as well. I had to bring my friend a batch of M & S tights though when I moved out here.

when i began this thread i had no idea it would rattle some people the way it has it was purely a question about a simple subject. i spent a year in both australia and new zealand and in that time i found the quality of the undies to be really poor and sizing was difficult to match. thankyou to those of you have made positive remarks all it did was clarify something that i already suspected from my previous experience of travelling around the world.
im not going to defend my preference for marks undies its no worse than the people who begin threads about what food they will miss and what should they take out. once we go out there will be nothing i will miss about this country which is why we want to make such a life changing move .....except good quality comfy pants................the end

I also don't think you need to defend your knicker preference, it is entirely your choice.

Re: knickers!
I think I should point out that if you use the word "crutchless" in Canada - it will mean that you don't have a pair of crutches.
The word is "crotchless"!!

Incase you want to know what a flame is like:
You are an absolute idiot, do you think that people in Canada are in some way inferior because they don't have M&S and have to therefore wear third world underwear. If you think that M&S is the be all and end all in the world of underwear suppliers, then you should stay in the UK where you can continue to live your high and mighty superior empire visioned life!!!!

I don't much care for M & S (as previously stated in this thread) so I may go bra-less and free if I can't get what I want in Canada (I'll save some money too)
I haven't flamed anyone either but I do feel when in rome do what the romans do)

M&S used to be in Canada. They packed up went home in the late 90s.
