5 Pack Cotton Stretch Hipsters

I bought these in size medium for my husband. They are good quality, but the sizing is all wrong. I had to return them and get the small size. Measured against his old, medium size, pants, they are a good couple of inches larger. Why do M&S do this with the sizing?

This product lacked proper elasticity in the legs so were/are very uncomfortable

I bought these for my son and he says that these shorts are comfortable to wear. If only there were comfortable shorts for woman I would be very happy.

This is a repeat purchase as I find these men’s underwear very comfortable

Comfortable to wear but a bit expensive. Sizing good.

Support is a big part of life. Friends, family, your employer, colleagues (when not sharpening the knife for your back), your football team (even though they let you down every single week) and underwear. Here lies the problem. The elastane content has dropped, plummeted, from 10% to 5%. Now I know not what elastane is or does (though Google can advise). However, using the approach from The Chase that the clue lies in the question it adds some sort of elasticity to the garment. To lose 50% is a little careless. I bought the same (but elastane 10%) about 2 years ago and they have been perfect. The garment now no longer retains the shape for the full day. The legs, it is called the trunk part in fashion circles (of which I am not part), become quite baggy. Get the feeling someone, somewhere has saved some costs to keep the price the same. The quality has dropped. Add to that the machining seems a little uneven. Having said that it is still an excellent item for the price. I am missing my elastane, will stick with M&S (obvs) but will check the recipe before purchasing.
