Creepy AGP reviews on M&S website

137 replies

I've noticed quite a few online reviews from men of M&S lingerie. These knickers are the latest I've seen. 3 reviews, 2 of which are by men.
I get the feeling that the review is part of the AGP fetish. It reminds me of flashing in that it's intended to make women/girls feel uncomfortable/shocked/embarrassed. I've seen men reviewing bras from the "Angel" first bra range too.

That makes me think of the theory of fetishes being formed in childhood. Wasn't women wearing slips to bed a thing in some older films? You could probably guess the age of the blokes buying them based on that.

Remember - M&S reviews are submitted then ‘passed’. So they are either hunky dory with this or too weasly feart of these groups.

Yes I'd noticed they had removed the gender bit

Shame, it was fun reading about how the reviewer and his wife liked to wear matching knickers and that they have them in all the colours and with the matching bra

Maybe the first reviewer thought his review would help others like him.

No there have been loads of them for ages. A lot of the more prolific ones have been taken off as the range has stopped being sold.

I first noticed it when I was trying to find a full length petticoat to go under a dress I had made, and a man was overgushing on the sexy slip stuff and wearing it in bed - thought it must be a OTT woman writing on her DH's account, but then realised there were loads.

They don't have 'gender' on them anymore, so the reviews have got more explicit.

I'm sure the article with the panty guy crying on his front steps while clutching a pair of knickers in his lonely hands is in the works!

Well, not right now, which is probably the first upside to lockdown I'm aware of

Shall we crowdfund for j** the panty guy at this trying time?

They do seem a bit nappy like. I guess men who like to wear knickers would shop in M&S. Maybe the first reviewer thought his review would help others like him. I don't really see a problem with it, but it would definitely put me off buying them!

And guess what they can try them on next to you as you get your bra fitted

Those look like an elasticated nappy, so maybe we're seeing some fetish crossover.

Also, they are nylon. Not woman friendly.

You can usually tell as they give each other loads of likes Wink [vom]
