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!

I'm not sure they'd look very sexy with my Tena lady pad inside them...

M&S got an absolute beating with the cyber attack they had not that long ago, can't blame them to try to boost the sales and try to salvage what they can

No. It’s tacky and vulgar.

Neither of which attract me to a shop.

Perfectly possible to have a good sex life without crap like this.

I also wonder if M&S are selling underpants with a hole through which to poke a penis.

I agree. I’ve had some of my best sex in absolute shockers of frumpiness.

I’m amazed the Benny Hill role play does it for so many women. You’d have thought we’d have all moved on but of course, it doesn’t matter how emancipated women are, male sexuality is still stuck in the 70s.

You have to read it in Dawn French's voice for full effect...

Dawn French was rubbish at it though. Dervla Kirwan was the original and best.

There's not much to thongs anyway, so what's left if they're crotchless?

I do think of M&S as the home of sensible cotton undies, though, even though I have bought silk knickers there.

Gosh, this.

This should not be allowed, and especially not in a respectable establishment like Marks and Spencer. My Grandma used to shop there when she was alive! She would have had a heart attack if she had seen these tawdry and sordid garments while shopping for her smalls.

Oh dear. You hate dogs, naughty knickers shouldn’t be allowed - do you actually like anything?

Yes they should hide away all the underwear behind curtains because it’s sooooo offensive!

Katigee410 · Today 18:21

Not offended, but I just wonder how much material goes into making a crotchless thong, and why make one. Surely you can just yank to the side if need to for whatever reason 🤭

I don’t want to shop in a place which sells porn pants.
Total disrespect to their longterm customer base in favour of chasing new markets.

You obviously watch very different porn to me

Isn't this the case for the majority of men's underwear?

Ladybirdheard · Today 20:55

Whoever said they look like moths I can't unsee it now 😂

PollysKenwood · Today 21:01

My friend did a spin class wearing a thong once. Experience wasn’t repeated.

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

Or as we as practice nurses used to call thongs, “thrush conductors”

Pippa12 · Today 22:33

Pearl clutching over a crotchless thong? Don’t be daft! It’s just abit of material. It’s hardly a pornographic advert?!

FWIW we’ve enjoyed a crotchless thong in our time! I’d say it’s pretty vanilla if you ever ventured over to the ‘sex’ chat!!
