Wish they had elastic/stretch around leg opening

Medium are too small, and these large are too large around the leg. If they had stretch edge around the legs then perhaps would work but have to give them to charity

Disappointing

No, I don't recommend this

Good quality but disappointing that the waist ban didn’t open making it difficult for a frail man to put on

I am happy with them. They fit pretty well and seem fairly durable compared to some other brands I have tried. I am considering buying some more.

Not as expected

No, I don't recommend this

These briefs are not elasticated as I expected they would be where they wrap around at the bottom, on the legs. As far as remember all previous briefs bought from M&S had elastic where they fit around the legs/thigh

Wish They Came In A 10 Pack!

Yes, I recommend this

These exactly what I was looking for in a pair of classic tighty whitey y fronts. Supportive in the front, comfortable to wear, no riding up and they hug the body with a snug fit. My only two negative is that I can't find them in store and that they don't come in a 10 pack of all white which would be a little more convenient.

Awful cut but excellent fabric quality.

No, I don't recommend this

Fabric quality is top notch, however the cut is awful and allows you so much room in the front but it's so small in the back with leg opening that is not right. I would have returned it but I am not sure you can return underware. Avoid it.
