Doom scrolling on fb as cant sleep.
An advert pops up on my feed from M&S for crotchless thongs. Have I actually fallen asleep and am dreaming ?! WTAF is M&S thinking?!! They appear to be stocking Anne Summers-talk about rebrand of underwear dept!

If you have to wear a crotchless thong to get the guy in the mood it sounds pretty desperate to me.

Wearing things to feel sexy is desperate now?

It’s not just a crotchless thong it’s an M&S crotchless thong!

As I said: each to their own. Dressing yourself up to look like a sex doll looks desperate to me but I understand some people must enjoy doing it.

Saying it’s desperate and then saying each to their own is a dig then following it up with an insincere statement.

I tried wearing thongs back in my student days long ago....not for me. It just felt uncomfortable.

There’s a gaping hole in their marketing strategy I think.

Well I quite liked their dinner specials that have main, 2 sides, dessert with a suggested bottle of wine, some flowers and a box of chocs now and then as a treat that signals sexy fun night at home. Their food halls have some things that are a bit moreish.

Oh my God, all that food does not signal sexy fun night to me. It signals lying bloated on the sofa going ‘I ate too much!’

WTF would the point of a crotchless thong be? Where been would the fabric from the front go through to the thong part? 🤣

I'm wondering this as well 🤣

It’s not just a crotchless thong it’s an M&S crotchless thong!

Or as I've seen a urologist describe thongs "a UTI transfer highway"

Same! Not sure why I’ve been picked out as a suitable recipient for that ad… I’m more into belly button warmers these days. Don’t really want my 11 year old looking over my shoulder at it either 🤮

I wish M&S pants had more crotch in general. 🤷‍♀️

YorkshirePuddingsGreatestFan · Today 08:22

I saw the ad.

It was weird as they were featured, then the next pictures were regular M&S clothes like a modest office wear outfit and a casual weekend outfit.

I'm another big comfy knickers fan so no idea why they were shown to me.

Bigtrapeze · Today 08:28

To give M and S their due, the advert does suggest they are 'adjustable' to ensure a good fit. Bit of practicality in there.

Thank you for the link as I was struggling to picture them!

I'm assuming you need a certain type of vulva to look good in those. Mine would look like a pack of ham caught in a fishing net.

Who on God's green earth turns to M&S for sexy fun????? Please can there be one little corner of England where I don't have to run the gauntlet of sexy fun? Too mcuch to ask?

Think again @Pineapplesonpizza I'm currently languishing in an M&S short, cotton strappy chemise that I had lots of sexy fun in last night (before it was torn off in a fit of passion obs 😉).

hugasaurus · Today 08:36

M&S has had stuff like this for ages though alongside the granny pants! And I love all the judgemental comments 🙄 I’m probably past my crotchless pants era but I did have some when DH and I first got together and yes we did have lots of fun with them!

What are they selling for the guy to wear for the “bit of sexy fun”?

Crotchless Y-fronts 😂

Oh come on, all the 'What's the big deal?' replies are so ridiculous. M+S underwear dept is the home of stout, solid, granny pants and comfy bras. Not porn knickers ffs.

My views exactly!
It's where my mum bought my first bra many years ago.
And where I got my daughter's first bras.
Just wouldn't expect to but underwear aimed as foreplay in M&S!

Oh haven't you seen? It's the Blue Harbour corduroy posing pouch. Apparently, they've sold out in the Home Counties.

They’re not an M&S product. They’re just one of the many products by other brands that M&S sells online. They don’t, as far as I know, sell them in store.

Is there any material left on crotchless thongs
