Sexy fun at M&S?

Apparently M&S have collaborated with Anne Summers and are selling lacy crotchless thongs. Each to their own of course but I was surprised. 😳

Actually they’d be good for the actresses in dramas where her date for the night, coming into her home for a ‘coffee’ and immediately in a fit of passion placing her on a kitchen countertop and pulling up her dress then has his wicked way with her apparently through his trousers without unzipping anything , routinely shown on on tv.

Saves on the washing I suppose.

I can’t imagine anything more uncomfortable than a thong of any kind. A friend of mine calls them cheese cutters.
Big knickers for me every time.

IMore uncomfortable than a thong - i used to have something called a body? - body suit? in the 80's remember them? Like a basque but poppers underneath. Now they really were torture.

I gather I won’t meet with any of you ladies when queuing for my crotchless knickers!!

Bridey Sun 02-Aug-26 15:13:03

Wonder what the mens crotchless boxers look like?

Nah. We’ll all be down the pub, wearing our and waiting for you to join us. 😁

Cool in summer, possibly, but a little chilly in winter, I'd say .

I dont understand why anyone would want these. You will need to put a towel down on your furniture to catch drips. No one sees your underwear so just wear normal cotton ones.

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Sun 02-Aug-26 15:53:12

Somebody might see someone though kircubbin!
That’s the (hopeful) point. I’m told…

Eek! TMI.

Mind you, at least they’re self explanatory. The first time I saw a sign for period knickers at M&S I immediately thought of Jane Austen. 😳

Dunno……..but they will definitely have plenty of Mecca space.

What about if you have pelvic floor prolapse?

This thread is bonkers!

Thongs remind me of dental floss somehow.

Gracesnan Sun 02-Aug-26 17:09:21

Oh, greyfur, that was so funny! I can’t believe M&S are doing this. I think they’ve lost the plot 😂

Harris27 Sun 02-Aug-26 17:12:37

I’ve a big bum so need big knickers!

What about if you have pelvic floor prolapse? Spinthriftcoastal it ll fall out, but I don’t think they re compulsory to be honest

Thank God I've already consumed my plum duff ( early lunch)

Aveline. Never . When I retired I vowed never to play bingo or bowls, and to continue wearing what I love. Still keeping to my word 15 years on .

If you’re a slimline person that’s fine but what about the larger mature woman? I am now a 14/16 sizewise and very many are larger than that so comfort comes before style, plus nobody sees or cares anyway unless a person enjoys parading up and down in the bedroom for the benefit of a DH or DP😂 I like a bit of lace on a bra and think women’s boxers are heaven to wear.
