Very high rise

No, I don't recommend this

I have been buying high rise shorts for quite a while. I opened my latest purchase and found five pairs of old lady knickers! There was a sticker on the packet saying they had previously been called ‘midi’, whatever they are. Anyway I decided to keep the knickers hoping they would shrink in the wash and dryer. No they didn’t. They are definitely high rise. They nearly reach my arm pits. So, what happened to the original high rise shorts.

Poor replacement

No, I don't recommend this

Very disappointed in these pants. Having wore the midis for years this new rebrand falls short of the original. They are too deep at the sides and not as stretchy as the old midis. Unfortunately I will not be purchasing again .

More like full briefs now, not midis

No, I don't recommend this

I've bought knickers from M&S for donkeys years, but when they removed midis I was unimpressed. It turns out they'd just renamed them to hi-rise shorts. The first few packs I bought were fine, but these latest ones are not. The sides are now approx. 2 inches bigger than before even thought the sticker stating that they used to be midis is still stuck to the pack. They are now more like full briefs which are still available to buy anyway. Had to keep one pack as I'd already opened it, but will be returning the other.

comfortable, good value 'midi' style

Good value and comfortable. These are like the ones that used to be called 'midi' a long time ago. The only complaint I have is that there are never many designs/colours to choose from in this style. I had to settle for the pack of plain colours with mostly blue

Great basic

Just the right amount of coverage. Very confusing that you have changed the style name from midi.

Not as described

No, I don't recommend this

Although the description says 'New name, still your favourite midi fit' they are not the same as the original midi knickers. Had previously purchased these with the new description so purchased two packs recently and the shape/fit is nothing like the midi knickers or the packs purchased last year.

What happened to the old style?

No, I don't recommend this

I used to like wearing the 'midi' style of underwear M&S sold. Thought these were the same but my goodness, they now seem made for a granny (I am not a granny) about 3 times my size. Absurdly high. Very disappointed.

Not high leg

No, I don't recommend this

Did not like these at all. Needed white knickers to wear under thin white trousers. These are not high leg and can only be described as frumpy. Returned

Like the style. Bought the blue mix and liked the 3 blues in the pack but would have preferred another 2 blue coloured pairs instead of the cream and beige pair.

Not the same as Midi

No, I don't recommend this

I ordered these pants as I have for years. It says it's the same style, just a different name for the Midi style, but these were definitely not the same. They came up to my waist, not half way between hip and waist like before. The elastic was very loose, so they wouldn't stay up. I washed them to see if that would make them fit any better, but, it made no difference, so I've put them in the to be used as dusters pile. Very disappointing.
