Fit well, do what they should. Front opening design is much more practical than the labyrinthine version on more expensive alternatives

Plain white y fronts. The only pants my husband will wear. Nicely made although the material gets thinner with every pack I purchase

At the end of the day it’s only underpants, but they are nicely made and fit well.

Poor elastic

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

I Recently bought and returned 2 packs of gents slips because the elastic was weak. The above items, (5 Pack Essential Cotton Briefs) have the same fault, but I feel can't keep on returning, so they'll go in the bin! You've heard it before - the quality of so many M&S items just keeps on declining.

These are the No 6. bestseller for a reason

Great price, 100% cotton, good fit. I went down a size as I wanted a closer fit while lifting at the gym, The rise is perfect for me. I tried the high rise items on the website but they were way too high. Would welcome some more variation in colours maybe cherry red or bright green. Ideally M&S would also do some fun retro colours in this range e.g. baby blue with navy contrasting trim or vice versa. I appreciate this would make them more expensive to produce but personally I would settle for a four pack for a bit more colour choice.

Perfect fit - a bit thin material but considering the price represents excellent value. Would buy again.

To be honest, a bit large and shapeless but did shrink a bit when tumble dried!

I have purchased these briefs for my husband for many years as they are his favourite style. I can't get him to change to boxers at all. It's an age thing! They are fantastic quality and last for ever Would never buy any other make
