M & S knickers why can’t they leave well alone?

M&S, along with lots of other things nowadays, just isn’t what it was.

It’s their bras that I find they keep changing, you find a style that you like, next time you try to buy the same, it’s disappeared.

Shopping for most things is no pleasure.

I think they stretch a little with wear - so if compared with older midi ones, maybe they're not 'considerably smaller'?

I'd complain by phone or online, anyway, as you were reassured by the assistant that the sizing was the same. They should offer to post replacements to you.

For me it’s their bra’s, each bra appears to be sized differently, can’t just go and get different styles same size 🤬 I also have to buy bra extenders as they are all too short across the back..

I’m thinking of buying/trying those one size bra’s that fasten at the front, anyone tried them?

Do Playtext or Triumph still exist? 😂

I dont think you can return knickers

I no longer buy my knickers at M&S, John Lewis’ are infinitely better both quality-wise and style.
Their ‘Everyday’ range beats M&S any day.

Oops! ‘ Anyday’

We ordered a pair of shoes for DH from M and S.They are the same style and size he has had several times before.They arrived yesterday and don’t fit🤦🏼‍♀️

Although more expensive I buy Sloggi a size larger and Triumph Doreen Bras. They last for years and are really comfortable and good quality. I agree with you about Marks and that is why I left them.

I dont doubt what everyone is saying. I feel for you.

But for me, I found their bra change better. No wire now.
I end up keeping buying prodominately the same sort no matter how many years pass, and how many styles I try on, with and without a bra fitting person.
But this last time, it has no wire. And is better than it was. The bra fitting person said the style I choose is always their best seller. Which is why I can keep buying it. And she said that they have redesigned it now, with a lot of thought and expertise.

Just thought I ought to mention it.

Which bra fancythat?

Thanks fancythat.

I'm with LR on this. Even though Sloggis are initially more expensive (less so buy 3 get one free) they last ad infinitum. Ditto Triumph Doreen.

Totally agree. I stopped buying underwear in M&S many many years ago. The quality of the cotton packs of high leg knickers deteriorated very quickly. The went grey in the wash. As for their bras, I used to always buy them then could not get a single bra to fit me. This was over 20 years ago.
I buy knickers in Sainsbury’s. I buy my bras from Triumph.
Hardly ever buy any clothing either also for many years.

Bought a pack of M&S knickers in April, they said the were all the same size, but they weren't. Some pairs were clearly bigger than others, some smaller. Some went in the bin.

I always buy knickers and bras from M & S and have no complaints.
I get measured at M & S for my bra (as I'm on a fairly strict diet so my bra size keeps changing) and I use the same lady to measure me who's measured me for over 20 years now.

I believe the 'problem' with M&S is that it's attempting to attract shoppers from all demographics and age groups. There's not enough money to be made from focusing on its previous core demographic.

I used to shop there regularly in the late 60s early 70s - the quality and durability of their clothing was exemplary.

Then I moved abroad. On one of my return visits to the UK I bought some sweaters and trousers. They didn't stand up to the (gentle) wash programme. They were just poor quality (made cheaply in Asia).

I've never set foot in their clothing department since.

I'm surprised Dickens about trying to appeal to a younger clientele.
We are getting older but will always need underwear.

My gripe is the trousers with tiny pockets and a bit short in the leg.
I'm average height so don't go for long leg but perhaps I should!

Seems to me the styles change for the sake of change and the say so of a young designer straight out of college who needs to make an impression. Why listen to us?

Totally wonderful bra from M n S....not to everyones taste but most comfy ever....just enter in search engine
Flexifit™ Non Wired Crop Top

An yet another so frustrated by non midi's, as the shorts style do not fit the same. I have gone to Amazon and was delighted to find the ideal midi comfy and pretty - lots of choice if you search in there.
Sloggi do a good midi knicker but just white.

Hope M n S see sense and return to a midi range.

When M&S end a line EBay sellers buy up this stock. There are some real bargains.
I always look there first.

Here’s an idea of what’s on eBay.

I've gradually replaced all my M&S knickers with Sloggi which are so much better. Expensive, but I did it gradually. I have Sloggi in various colours too.

I must have a dozen pairs of M & S Jeans, different styles, different colours along with their denim shorts. Really good fit, wash well and have kept their colours

Have lots of their T shirts and some linen shirts for every day wear, again they wash, iron and wear well.

M & S gym wear (including sports bras) are reasonably priced and so comfy.

Cannot comment on their underwear as I buy elsewhere.

Thanks MerylStreep
