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

I have visions of the crotchless wearers forgetting and ending up doing a Sharon Stone

When I was still shopping for my mother in law I went into M&S and asked an assistant if they had any old lady's knickers. She looked very offended and said "Do you mean like the ones I wear?" I don't know what she would have thought of crotchless ones.

Of course crotchless was good enough for Queen Victoria, but she might have drawn the line when it came to thongs.

You should have said ‘ I don’t know, show me the ones that you’re wearing’ 🤔
No wonder Queen Vic had so many kids, she was ever ready like the batteries.

I own up to liking matching colours where possible.

*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.

GrannyGravy you will be shocked to hear I have never worn matching underwear in my life. My bra must be white but I prefer colourful knickers.

I m with you Charliegirl don’t think I ve ever had a set
I wear all colours
What about if you have pelvic floor prolapse? Spinthriftcoastal it ll fall out, but I don’t think they re compulsory to be honest
Wonder what the mens crotchless boxers look like? Swing high swing low Bridey

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

I’ve a big bum so need big knickers!

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 😂

greyfur Sun 02-Aug-26 17:02:19

Thongs remind me of dental floss somehow.

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

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.

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. 😳

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

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

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

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

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