AIBU to feel annoyed Marks and Spencer have.....

[JobStresserxo]

changed their knicker styles? The style I have bought for years no longer exists. Have bought underwear from M&S forever, but have had to shop elsewhere.
Very disappointed!

Cheese and apple on walnut bread! Hands down the best sandwich ever. That and the baked potato flavour crisps were my lunch of choice in the 90s. I still always check the sandwich selection whenever I'm in m&s, just in case they've brought it back 😂

What?! First they take my Mississippi mud pie yoghurt and now my midi pants? Damn you M&S.

Try Stripe and Stare. I’ve found my new favourite pants there after this very same issue!

They stopped making the only style of jeans that suited my body shape and fitted comfortably. I now have to order jeans at £60 a throw from a german website and STILL have to then alter the legs to be short enough. Bastards.

I like bows. I can tell the front from the back when getting dressed in the dark.

I thought I was being excessive a few years ago when I bought loads of my favourite M&S midi knickers every time there was a sale or offers, I'm glad I did now as I haven't seen them for ages.

Ha! I always look for the bow on mine when getting dressed

Well, OK, maybe not in the winter time 😀!

I'm convinced M&S have been making the gusset (bit that goes between the legs, for clarity) of their knickers narrower. Or is that just me? I don't like it.

I like the bows as it makes it easier to work out where the front is. I wear bigger pants nowadays and they’re not always easy to work out what way they go and which bit is the leg, especially black ones 😁

Oh snap! I didn’t see you’d written the same thing 😁

🤣

Remember when you’d get a green side salad and a little jug of delicious salad dressing with every order of a cheese toastie in the cafe? Now it’s just the toastie, all sad and beige by itself on the plate

Yy I've switched to them too (or tu!).

If you need a bow to tell which side of your pants is the front, why don't men's pants ever have them?

Because men's pants have a hole in the front or a giant reinforced panel so it's easy to tell the difference.

Yes!

And the coffee in the cafe is nowhere near as nice any more 😳

They currently sell a cheese and celery sandwich which is quite nice.

I’ve never bought multi pack knickers. There’s always at least one colour l don’t like. I always but 2 pairs of matching knix with a new bra and supplement them with M&S Brazilians, buy 3 get one free offers or similar.

And l don’t want underwear the same thickness as bed sheets or with no stretch.

They had a nectar and jasmine perfume that was just heavenly. I bought about 10 bottles on e bay I love it so much so I share your pain!

You need the Pret Choc Bar. I also used to love those refrigerator cake bars, good they were good. But the Pret is an excellent replacement.

You can’t be wearing the bigger pants. It’s a lot less obvious which is the front or back or leg. Especially when you’re dressing in the half dark and the pants are black. In fact my complaint would be I wish they’d make the bow in a contrasting colour to make it even easier to work out. 😁

I think men’s pants are a lot easier to work out as the shaping is more obvious.

They also stopped doing the No VPL shorts that I've been wearing for 30 years.
Any other suggestions very welcome.

Sure, but I'm still interested in why they don't put stupid little bows on men's underwear. Same issue applies there, surely.

I also bought these in place of the midi. I think they're great! Really comfy and the thick lace top actually sits better than the elastic on the original midi. Winner as far as I'm concerned...and they are definitely NOT 'shorts' despite what the label says 🤷‍♀️
