Disappointing

Usual good quality cotton but much higher sides than midis used to have - more like ‘big knickers’. They look quite frumpy.

She is thrilled with them and now has plenty!!

Yes, I recommend this

Bought as a silly gift for my friend Sarah. We had been to one of your outlets a few days earlier and she had bought a 5 pack but was horrified when we got home and she looked at them as they weren’t the high rise shorts as it said on the pack - but granny pants! We had a right hoot about them. It was hilarious!!!

Disappointing shorts not shorts

No, I don't recommend this

These knickers are a very odd fit and the cut is nothing like the earlier versions. They are not shorts as the leg elastic grips too tight and the sides are much deeper than before. They are more like a full brief. Also the fabric colour is bright white with a blue cast which I really dislike. All in all just a bit cheap and nasty, sorry ☹️

Poor quality this time around

No, I don't recommend this

Have been buying these knickers for years!... I've noticed the last two packs have changed in quality, this pack in particular!... They are stiff fabric & at least a size smaller, also the depth is shorter & the leg elastic is tight, I've put my finger nails through a few when putting them on as the fabric is soo thin!... Really disappointed tbh.

Bring back the 'MIDI'!

No, I don't recommend this

The packet says, 'NEW NAME, STILL YOUR FAVOURITE MIDI FIT'. Side seam measurements: this new packet - 16.5 cm; all previous knickers - 12.5 cm. If it's a MIDI. call it a MIDI, but make it a MIDI.

Not like it used to be

Have bought these before - however on this new set, where the leg edge and the side seam meet there is a lumpy knot which is very unconfortable and chafes.

Design has changed.

No, I don't recommend this

Completely different cut to my previous pairs. I purchased based on the style number and they are not the same, much lower leg.

Disappointing Knickers

No, I don't recommend this

Disappointing. Not as good as I expected and the rise is too high. I’ve had to cut sharp bits of elastic off the side seams. No bow on the front so nothing to make me feel ‘fancy’.

Good basic underwear

Yes, I recommend this

The panties are good basic underwear and I have purchased the same ones now for well over 12 years. They are hard wearing and give good coverage. However, for a period I thought M&S had stopped making them due to the change of name from Midi pants. Other stores still use Midi in their descriptions - so I am at a loss as ti why M&S use the description of ‘shorts’ when they do not look like shorts’

This underwear fits well and is made of a good quality material. Also reasonable price for the set of 5. Delivery to the local shop for collection was very fast. Good service all round.

Definitely not Midi style

No, I don't recommend this

Bought these expecting Midi sizing and when I picked them up they were right up to my waist - proper granny pants! It had said on the website these were replacing midi's but think the sizing off somewhere
