Poor quality

No, I don't recommend this

I have bought the same product, same size, for many years but the latest ones were of very poor quality. The trimming around the legs is non existent with no elasticity.

Poor quality and fit

No, I don't recommend this

Very disappointed with these knickers. They don’t fit well. Poor cut and no elastic now around legs. Have always bought my knickers from M&S but no more! They seem to have changed their knicker styles & shapes and these were just awful.

Quality dropped significantly

No, I don't recommend this

I buy these every year. This year they have been awful. All the colours are awful quality. The material is paper thin. And one of the pairs was ripped at the seam when opening . I've had to return all of them. I've submitted feedback directly to m&s. Others please do the same it's not good enough

Waste of money

No, I don't recommend this

Knickers with non-elasticated legs? Guaranteed wedgies, unwearable.

No grip around leg openings

No, I don't recommend this

There is no grip at all around the legs which makes the underwear slip during wear. I will definitely not be buying these again!

Don’t buy

No, I don't recommend this

These are the worst underwear I have ever bought. No elastic around the legs (why?) so they ride up all the time. I’ve had to put them in the bin.

Bad style

No, I don't recommend this

There seem to have been a change in the style of these pants. The back at the legs is higher and there is no elastic round the legs. I sometime feel I have them on back to front. Dreadful!!!

Disappointed

No, I don't recommend this

These are nothing like the low rise shorts I’ve bought before. Loose around the legs, inferior this fabric, poor quality. Having tried on one pair I cannot return the pack, so four pairs unworn have gone to the charity shop and one in the bin. Please rectify the problems with this item, the reviews say it all.

Very disappointed with the quality of these compared to having bought similar ones on several previous occasions. The cotton is thinner and the fit is not as good.

Uncomfortable

I wish I had read the reviews before buying these pants. The absence of elastic at the back of the leg holes means that they ride up and are really uncomfortable. Do not recommend.
