2pk Boys' Adaptive School Shorts

These shorts are perfect for my son who is currently potty training and has difficulty undoing zips or fiddly hook n eye fastenings in time! The elasticated waist band means those little accidents are reduced without compromising on the style or functionality.

Great for children that need a fully pull up school shorts. Just one thing why is the fitting on the thighs so wide?

Good quality and nice fit

My third purchase of these shorts and happy with them, although I was disappointed to see you no longer do them in plus fit, so I’ve gone up a size to accommodate my little boy who is a bit chunky in the middle. The label says new improved, I personally think the fabric feels a bit rougher than the previous ones, but will see how they wash. Please reconsider the plus fit ones and do not discontinue these ones.

When I first heard M&S was doing this range I was very excited. I waited nearly 6 weeks to get what I thought would be the right size but I ordered the size above to just to incase. The fit is the worst we’ve tried they have very wide and long legs. But the biggest issue is the elasticated back gives hardly any in fact less then an inch stretch which will make them hard to pull up independently or with support. My son normally wears age 12 pull up shorts (not school shorts) but your age 13-14 would not go up over his thighs. M&S please rethink your sizes and cut of the clothes.

I bought these for our older son who can find some clothing uncomfortable. These shorts have a soft waistband without buttons or internal gathering to irritate, no buttons/elastic to adjust to press against skin, labels positioned in such a way as to not cause sensory issues. However, usually shorts will do our older son over two academic years, as long as he doesn't grow to much, but on both pairs he's worn through some of the seams and I've had to repair them! Some people may also not like the fact these don't have an adjustable waist, but in my experience you can't have an adjustable waist that also suits those who don't like the feel of the buttons and extra elastic around the waistband.

I bought a pack of boys school shorts for my son. I ordered one size bigger hopefully they will still fit next year. I expected there are hidden buttons within the waist to shorten the waist band. But there isn't any. I bought similar skirts for my daughter but the skirts have a pair of buttons on each side on the waiSt that you could use to adjust the waist size.

Great price however, the overall fit of the shorts is definitely much bigger than standard sizing.

Fantastic to get shorts with an elasticated waist in bigger sizes! Son is 7 but wears 10-11. Did buy him normal fastening shorts but he forever just pulled them up and down without undoing the zip...problem solved with these shorts! Well done M&S!

Bought these in age 3-4 for my just-turned 4-yr-old starting school. It wasn’t until I had named them that I realised that the waist isn’t adjustable and, of course, they just fall down on my little one. So I made a trip to M&S to buy some standard shorts only to find that these don’t have buttons or zips anyway (or certainly not in the smaller sizes) so the only difference I can see is that the easy dressing version doesn’t have the adjustable waist. My attemp to be organised and take advantage of the early summer 20% off school uniform has ended up costing me double! Lesson learnt.
