Make fetishists reviewing M&S knickers hits the Sun

Likewise the ‘stunning’ home makeovers using some tile stickers and a pot plant from B&M

It always puzzles me how anyone could be ‘furious’, ‘raging’ or ‘fuming’ about any of the minor, first-world problems, easily resolved by customer services, that the daily mail routinely writes about

Some people have asked how well returned items are checked, the answer seems to be not very well

because trying things on to see if they fit doesn't include wanking into them and then putting them back. I don't want pants that have been 'borrowed' by some fetishist. Other than that, tho, I don't care who buys what pants.

I thought “gender critical” people wanted everyone to be able to wear whatever clothes they wanted, regardless of sex? Why shouldn’t men wear things marketed as ‘women’s underwear’ - and if they’re wearing it, why shouldn’t they review it?

It seems like this isn't a risk restricted to M&S but rather to any retailer that permits underwear returns (and resells returns, can anyone please confirm this part?). Personally, I'd rather take the financial impact of not being able to return in exchange for the guarantee that they're fresh from anyone else having worn them.

@Lamahaha the original AIBU thread led to a Daily Mail article.

...complete with comments like 'you put your dipstick in it's...

*Lamahaha,
Thanks for the heads up, I've gone and added my twopenn'th to the AIBU thread.

@pinkarsedfly 😃

Time to launch the Pervy Pigs.

I've never been so pleased that I only ever wear boring white knickers!
(Though, obviously, that does mark me out as a sub-standard woman)

A number of our knickers have this grown on ‘floating’ gusset due to design aesthetic.

Normally "aesthetic" means pastel unicorn hair, not a cock pocket in your pants.

I've just killed a thread about gussets in AIBU, because I revealed the big secret. Only silence since yesterday. Did everyone's jaw drop to the floor, or what? I almost never post in AIBU but I couldn't resist this one...

Do they not realise, that by pandering to such a tiny minority of the population and ignoring the wishes and needs of approximately half of the same population, they are going to definitely meet financial ruin?

Hmmm. I tried to review an M&S jumper once and said that I thought the quality was shoddy for the price. They refused my review as they said it didn’t meet the required standards. But they let perverts do this.

Yuk!
There is a thread running about Primark and mixed sex changing areas. One poster in particular is pushing for penises to have unrestricted access to women's spaces:

I've never felt so glad to already have a boycott in place.

Sadly the key demographic for M & S (besides the wanking man community) are the Daily Mail reading over 60s - less likely to be on MN and less likely to also read the Sun. Maybe we should start postering these articles to the outside of their shops so they don't miss them?

Please tell me the Primark knickers don't have an open gusset too.

Wasn't there a minor outcry a few years ago when there was a documentary that showed that M&S destroy all the items that are returned to them rather than re sell them? If I've remembered that correctly nobody is going to be buying returned pants.

I'm mortified to report that, for the first time in decades, I have bought bras from Simply Be and knickers from Primark.

Sad days M&S. Sad days.

I'm shocked that M&S accept worn knickers as returns when I had to be grilled by 3 managers at a busy check out because the shoes I had bought 3 months previously were falling apart. They all tried to blame me and told me I must be wearing them wrong! They are shoes! How can you wear them wrong?!

This really puts me off M&S. Just gross. Can't believe they condone this.

Yuck.

FFS. the pervy fuckers. I don't use M&S so have never seen these.

Seems like M&S are happy to be propped up by so many men buying women's clothes as fetish wear, no wonder John Lewis wants in on the act.

Wonder whether this man had been welcomed into an M & S changing room when he filmed the young woman in her underwear? I'll bet whichever store it is has tried very hard to keep their name out of the press:

I just had a look at reviews,mist of the men and non of the women mark them down for true to size.
