Did I say how comfy these pants are?

Yes, I recommend this

I never imagined that I would be buying this style underwear, but I’m so glad I did! These undies are really comfortable underneath trousers and skirts. I bought one packet to try them and immediately bought a second because they were so comfortable.

Good for sleep

Yes, I recommend this

Bought to be sleep knickers. They are fine but for the waist elastic which ai found akin to cheese wire. Remedied by the old trick of steam pressing. Ight try a size up next time.

Disappointing

I hoped I’d found an alternative to the Sloggi briefs I love but these are much shorter on the rise and the waist band is thin and rolls. I’m 5’9” so they’d probably suit shorter women.

Badly made and even worse fit.

No, I don't recommend this

I am so disappointed in these shorts. I have been buying cotton knickers for years from m&s but never again. I tried a pair on the fit was useless from tummy to leg they were loose then as i was walking around getting dressed they fell down. I'm sorry m&s i will not be buying these again and shall return them. I used to buy the cotton midi which were lovely.

Uncomfortable

No, I don't recommend this

I bought these as they are all cotton and this is what a want for lounge/sleeping but the shape fits odd on me and the leg edges cut into my legs when I sit. They are also very thin which being for home use it’s a minor issue if only they were comfortable. I won’t be buying them again

Not fit for purpose

No, I don't recommend this

Awful. Parked up at supermarket, by the time i got to the door these knickers were round my bim cheeks! Thank goodness i was wearing a trousers not a skirt. The cotton is inflexible with little elasticity. Returning the other 4

Purchased for a friend and they are perfect.

Great fit, comfortable and well priced. Great to match with the Rosie Bra as they are in black.

Soft, naturally breathable, comfortable..

Yes, I recommend this

Very soft , and comfortable , great for those who have sensitive skin or don’t want to wear made man fabrics . But as 100% cotton , they don’t hold hold shape as well as those with a mixed fabric blend .

Thin waistband

No, I don't recommend this

I dont like the thin waistband and also no label at back so have to really look to decide front or back. There were loose threads too.

Dont buy.

No, I don't recommend this

Ive worn this style for years, but these are a significantly different style. They are really long at the sides and the crotch ends up gaping. Utterly awful knickers.

Not a good shape for me

No, I don't recommend this

Nothing wrong with the quality but the design was not what I had expected. I was looking for something more like proper shorts.

Awful Fit

No, I don't recommend this

Like many others, I used to buy M&S Midi Knickers, which were a great fit. High Rise Shorts were suggested as alternative, so I bought two five packs (at a cost of £16.00) and, being optimistic, washed all ten before trying them. Bad move. They were awful - they didn’t even fit where they touched. I had another search online and found that High Leg Knickers were also suggested. I bought two packs of five (another £16.00!) and, being stupid, again washed all ten before trying them. They were even worse and lasted six hours before I had to revert to the shorts whilst undertaking another online search resulting in a trip to Sainsbury’s where I bought two packs of seven (£17.00). Bliss.

Good cotton briefs but not comfy

No, I don't recommend this

These are good quality cotton briefs but not the most attractive or comfy to wear. They’re an awkward fit with not much elastic around waist or thighs. Maybe they’ll be better after washing but atm I’m not very impressed.

Okay, but didn't love them

Feels like there is no elastic on the lower part. Almost like the elastic is gone, but perhaps that's the style which I am not used to. other than that, the fit is good.
