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

Good Fit

Yes, I recommend this

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.

Not the same material as those I bought before

I purposely bought this product as i have had them before and they have been very comfortable to wear, and of descent quality. However I don’t feel I can say the same this time. I don’t feel the quality is the same. I feel the material seems to be thinner. Slightly disappointed!

Poor Quality, No bottom coverage.

No, I don't recommend this

I have always bought these knickers from M&S. I think that the quality has gone down and as they always used to have full bottCoom coverage, this is no longer the case. Compared with previous purchases, the quality of cotton has gone down and now I find that they do not cover the bottom and the elastic is a lot looser. Please M&S, take notice of this review and return to original designs. I will be purchasing underwear elsewhere in future.

Do the job

Yes, I recommend this

These are good, keep everthing in. However they seem to be not as good quality as the ones I bought last year. My new ones are not as soft.

Disappointing.

I have been buying said titled pants for a few years but this time around they were like big pants rising up to my waist and not mid rise like the previous 5 sets of knickers I have ordered over the last few years, so I had to return them. I tried the low rise shorts but they were too loose round my bottom. Disappointing. I have been buying knickers from m and s all my life and so I am stuck as to what to buy now!

Great fit & quality

Yes, I recommend this

Dont let them being called shorts put you off. They are just really comfy pants ( not high leg but not shorts as we know them;) they come to just on the navel. I buy these all the time. True to size

Fit has changed

No, I don't recommend this

These are my normal go to underwear, which I’ve been buying for years. They have now changed. The fit is different (tight on the legs) and they are not even the same as the online photo. Why change a great product?!

Fit has changed.

No, I don't recommend this

I’ve been buying these for years, but the fit of the new incarnation has changed. They are now not like the old midi’s at all, the gusset is narrower and they are belly warmers. The leg width of the size 10 and 12 are the same, so there was no point in me buying the 12 as they are still too tight.
