Poor quality & nothing like the original packs

I always buy these & they have been a great fit but these ones are nothing like the original ones & are very thin with see through fabric. Very poor quality.

I have been wearing these for years, and I really like the latest high-rise type. Some of them in the past have developed small holes in the fabric, but I hope this has been rectified in the latest iteration.

Very high rise

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

I have been buying high rise shorts for quite a while. I opened my latest purchase and found five pairs of old lady knickers! There was a sticker on the packet saying they had previously been called ‘midi’, whatever they are. Anyway I decided to keep the knickers hoping they would shrink in the wash and dryer. No they didn’t. They are definitely high rise. They nearly reach my arm pits. So, what happened to the original high rise shorts.

Poor replacement

Very disappointed in these pants. Having wore the midis for years this new rebrand falls short of the original. They are too deep at the sides and not as stretchy as the old midis. Unfortunately I will not be purchasing again .

More like full briefs now, not midis

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

No, I don't recommend this

I've bought knickers from M&S for donkeys years, but when they removed midis I was unimpressed. It turns out they'd just renamed them to hi-rise shorts. The first few packs I bought were fine, but these latest ones are not. The sides are now approx. 2 inches bigger than before even thought the sticker stating that they used to be midis is still stuck to the pack. They are now more like full briefs which are still available to buy anyway. Had to keep one pack as I'd already opened it, but will be returning the other.

comfortable, good value 'midi' style

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

Good value and comfortable. These are like the ones that used to be called 'midi' a long time ago. The only complaint I have is that there are never many designs/colours to choose from in this style. I had to settle for the pack of plain colours with mostly blue

Just the right amount of coverage. Very confusing that you have changed the style name from midi.

Not as described

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

Although the description says 'New name, still your favourite midi fit' they are not the same as the original midi knickers. Had previously purchased these with the new description so purchased two packs recently and the shape/fit is nothing like the midi knickers or the packs purchased last year.
