IABU: It is fine

What would happen if M&S just put these knickers in the menswear section and called them men's pants or whatever? I wonder if they'd continue to get all the 'sexy panties' comments and eagerness to try them on in the (men's) changing room, or if that's only naughty and fun when actual women and girls are involved.

Idgaf if you want to wear knickers mate, fill yer boots. If you want to make nonconsenting women uncomfortable by performing a fetish around them that's a separate matter.

Totally grim. Get it on Twitter
Tagging the shops etc.

Just me who can't see the review I only see one. Maybe they've removed it?

Same here

ShippingNews · 14/04/2023 01:32

I've looked and there is only one review , not the one you are talking about. It must have been removed.

Georgeandzippyzoo · 14/04/2023 01:46

I clicked the link and there's just one review showing up and it sounds OK. no obvious signs it's from a male and not crude. I am assuming the offending ones have been removed by M&s despite saying they wouldn't be..?

JudgeRudy · 14/04/2023 01:57

I'm confused. I think I must be viewing something different when I click on the links Both are the same. This is what I'm seeing - 1 review that sounds standard. What are others seeing

Haven't shopped there for a couple of years due to their allowing men in women's dressing rooms and this. Disgusting. FOM&S.

I can only see one, as well...by someone called 'Rogue'.

At least he doesn't mention his dick, [If this is a man]which was alluded to in other posts, so maybe M&S have removed the offending reviews.

There are apparently sites where they take pics of themselves wearing the underwear in the changing rooms and then put it back for women to buy. M&S welcome men in to women's changing spaces. ALWAYS WASH UNDERWEAR BEFORE WEARING!

Or don’t shop at M&S
Their current treatment of women is a disgrace.

Men and their endless quest to be seedy fuckers never cease to amaze me.

Yep
Dedication...🤣

Mummyoflittledragon · 14/04/2023 03:51

I’m so glad someone is listening and that the review has been removed. There were a number of threads about M&S about the reviews and the changing room situation. Posters linked to reviews on the M&S site with comments that this or that particular pair had an open gusset at the front. I remember one stating that the gusset was a perfect size to fit inside (or words to that effect).

Watch Mr Menno's song "In the Ladies" from a couple of years ago. It is on You Tube.

It's still on the UK site at least, I can't speak for the Swedish one.

I've checked the UK site. It's not on there anymore.

Theos · 14/04/2023 05:13

I can’t see it

knittingaddict · 14/04/2023 06:16

That's because it's been deleted.

Clymene · 14/04/2023 07:08

They might have deleted that one but the guy has left reviews of virtually every single pair of 'sexy' knickers on their website.

There are fewer than there used to be but I'm guessing that it's just that they've updated their stock. This one isn't the only bloke writing them

I've no idea @chaosmaker

I just know he does. I guess no one catches him, and the pictures don't include the shop sign, just the rails of clothes. He dresses (without underwear) then stands in front of a mirror and takes selfies with and without his skirt lifted.

I imagine the staff look out for him and move him along but if he's there at busy times he gets away with it.

Hooray! There were a few others. Maybe we can go through reporting them all.

EveryWitchWaybutLoose · 14/04/2023 07:45

YANBU at all @EllenLRipley

It’s pretty gross. And these men wonder why women don’t want men in our spaces!
