Sexy fun at M&S?

Iam64

I go commando plus no bra every evening. I have a long washed out pink linen frock bought on a street market in Spain for thirty euros 8 years ago. I’ve always loved the frock but even I think it’s a tad scruffy for out of the house these days. It’s perfect for on the sofa, glass of dry white watching Rivals. I wonder what kind of knickers Jillie Cooper wore? I imagine she was a matching colours lace girl

Oh you hussy Iam! 😁
Actually no - it sounds very sensible!

I have often gone commando when wearing long posh frocks underwear can and does spoil the fall of the fabric.

Well well…. 😮
it’s always the posh girls who have that kind of confidence I think!

I’ve never gone commando in my life.
“You can take the girl out of Old Trafford , etc!” 😁

Missed opportunities obviously! That said, probably my skirts were too short …

Oh for goodness sake. Just because we are grans we need not be prudes. Give the younger women a chance. Good luck to them . I am 81 and would never wear big knickers.

Won't Tenalady fall through the gap?

The new FGT line...have yourself a Flaming Great Time 😜

😁

I like my big bloomers!!

I imagine big crotchless knickers would be handy for long car trips and a wee on the roadside. Must tell M&S there's a gap in the market.

Good for you JenniRen
Hang onto them though 🤣

Franski as Butterandjam said the gap is in the knickers with Tenalady.

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.

Perhaps the actors wear crotchless trousers.

What’s all this about nobody sees your lacey underwear. Do it for yourself.

If I wore tiny skimpy knickers like that I probably couldn't even see them.

This thread is a hoot! thank you all for a load of laughs.

I don't see why not. But I can tell you as in viewing large numbers of bottoms at my gym..... please some ladies ^look at your back view before wearing thongs anywhere but home. Wobbly bottoms in thongs are not a good look and the wobbles are notable under many clothes.

I've never worn them so maybe I am wrong about discomfort. I like "midi's" these days in pretty colours cheer one up.

Lace can itch. But of course good ones dont. A band of elastic lace around the top of midis is nice.

What about if you have pelvic floor prolapse?

Always carry an umbrella to catch it in

I also prefer comfort to so-called fashion. Can M&S sink any lower? Who is going to buy them?

I don't buy big knickers, but mine are comfortable and cover the relevant parts.

I want really big knickers that come right up to my armpits so |I don't need to wear a bra.

That is actually SO unfunny

utbb I agree, this is how GN used to be, wicked humour at its best. It may not appeal to all but I have found most of it funny.

Apparently witches wear them to help give a better grip.

Do M&S really understand who makes up their customer base?
I often wonder that.

As yours is an opinion, based I would guess, on no real research I would imagine they know their customer - and who they want as their cusomer - better than we do.

If you mean the typical Marks & Spencer (M&S) customer, there isn't a single "M&S customer". The retailer serves millions of people across clothing, home, beauty, and food. However, M&S has traditionally been associated with:

*Adults aged roughly 35–65+, particularly families and professionals.
*Customers who value quality, reliability, and good value over the lowest price.
*Shoppers with middle to upper-middle incomes.
*People buying everyday clothing, premium groceries, and home products from one trusted retailer.

In recent years, M&S has deliberately broadened its appeal. Through updated fashion ranges, collaborations (such as Jaeger), stronger social media marketing, and third-party brands, it has attracted significantly more younger shoppers, especially those under 35. The company has stated that expanding its appeal to younger customers is a key part of its growth strategy.

(This information was from M & S via ChatGBT.)

They're not stocked on the racks in store.

I like the adverb used, Crotchless knickers are purely available online on the Mark and Spencer website! Nothing pure or vestal about it!

Ah Daisy you can always be relied on to….😂
I was only talking about women’s clothes not the rest of their goods.The M&S I frequent is full of women aged 60+ pottering round and looking dismayed.I haven’t bought anything from them except groceries for a while now, their bras are ok but for me that’s about it.I used to buy many clothes items there but no more.
It sounds as if M&S in ‘broadening its appeal’ is trying to be all things to all women as an experiment.
It isn’t quality any more anyway no matter what their PR put out, a lot of is is of inferior material, hardly any seams and made in Pakistan or the Philippines or somewhere and just the same as the really cheap stores.

Maybe M&S are missing a trick for their mens dept 😁

I like that you can buy many different brands through M & S, pick them up from a local Food Hall, have a proper try on at home. Anything you do not like or doesn’t fit dropped off at same Food Hall, no charge.

I think the variety of styles of jeans really good, their sportswear is reasonably priced and washes and wears well.

Their school uniform basics are excellent value.

I seem to have purchased a lot from M & S so far this year branded goods and M & S own label.

(Haven’t purchased any crotchless thongs, yet…)

Useful in this hot weather for airing the undercarriage 😂

Probably be charged more for less material I would have thought!
