Well according to Mr Sparkles twitter the appointment is on Tuesday and there will be ‘photos aplenty’ 🤮

MissKomodoDragonsBrunch · 18/08/2025 03:38

I wonder if the M & S where the “bra fit” appointment is booked have time before said booking to set up, stock and MAN a “Male Lingerie” section? I really hope so! 🤣

Not sure that's new, at least when I worked there it was all women in the lingerie department.

Men can buy and wear bras idc just as long as they aren't in the women's changing room.

But the men's still say men's on them @SidewaysOtter

Quite, so we've got changing rooms for men and...changing rooms also open to men.

<slow hand clap for M&S>

Well, it's something. They still seem to have removed the word "women's" from the female changing rooms, implying they are gender neutral/open to all.

MissKomodoDragonsBrunch · 17/08/2025 23:12

Well, M & S, I’m sure we will find out after the booked session whether your definition of “female” aligns with biological reality…

Somehow I think everyone will hear all about the experience the above “woman” had at their “bra fit”. 🤮

He's not going to turn up, I don't think he ever was.

But if he does, I hope he's told where to go. Or if the policy hasn't quite sunk in, someone points him at the ugliest over the shoulder boulder holders they have. Even though he doesn't need it.

GargoylesofBeelzebub · 17/08/2025 22:56

I'd love for a man to do the bra fitting and tell him he doesn't need a bra as he just has moobs.

Hoardasurass · 17/08/2025 22:54

Has anyone got an archived link as I really don't want the sun putting cookies on my devices and I'd love to read Sophie's comment, hes still going to his appointment though so we'll get a real world test of the new policy.

I wonder if someone from M&S has looked at Sophie's twitter account and freaked out i mean hes so nutty even the Scottish greens didn't want him and they've got looney lorna and Maggie personperson

The rubber will hit the tarmac when Molly turns up for his fitting. I can't honestly imagine what the outcome will be.

beachwalkx · 17/08/2025 20:49

I mean they can’t fit bras to start so..

What’s Mr Sparkles had to say about it?

He hasn't had a meltdown yet, but a couple of days ago he said "Being a woman in the public eye, I hope I'll encourage other women and people with breasts to go more regularly to get fitted."

‘Developed for our female customers’ isn’t the same thing as ‘Is exclusively for our female customers’.

I’m not convinced they haven’t still left themselves a loophole.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 17/08/2025 20:39

Despite all the "what do they mean by female" reservations, this does suggest that the tsunami of criticism following their creepy male member of staff approaching a 14 year old in the lingerie department might have landed?

We know certain senior staff at M & S have been over excited at the idea of men being allowed into the women's lingerie changing rooms while women and girls have bras fitted? Is it possible that the negative publicity along with the amount of time their staff are having to deal with predatory men exploiting access to women's changing rooms are finally being noticed?

lcakethereforeIam · 17/08/2025 19:43

What about the female bra fitters having to participate in some bloke's fetish?

Toseland · 17/08/2025 18:14

What does female mean when blokes are claiming they are female too?
