M&S advert for crotchless thongs

[Dutchhouse14]

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!

Might be useful for 'air conditioning' during heat waves.

Where did she say it was to get the guy in the mood?

My meaning was for titillation purposes, not peeing.
Noting the repeated ageism throughout your posts too. Lovely.

And while many women continue to pander it will sadly continue.

Yes but knowing M and S the reviews will be written by Eric of Bristol. " I loved these - they are a bit snug but give me such a womanly feel" .

What’s sad about it? What other women choose to do in the privacy of their own bedroom is nobody’s business but their own.

It is sad that ingrained conditioning which started right back when we were first born makes us do so.

or maybe some women like sex. Possibly because their partner is great in bed?

And people like different things in bed, big deal?

It always amuse me how some women who scream against the "Patriarchy" etc are the most vocal and vehement about the way women MUST think and act.

You might want to unpack that a little. What conditioning makes us want to inject a bit of zing into our sex lives? Sex with the same person for decades can get very dull.

MN makes money from advertising. M&S makes money from selling things. This is how the economy and business works.

I wear M&S thongs, but l see little point in crotchless thongs but that is a separate issue.

In addition MN also produce their own branded “Mumsnet Vibrater”. If you don’t want these things then don’t buy. But let’s not make commercial decisions a big deal.

Ann Summers also sell more “run of the mill” undies too, it’s not all red mesh and cut outs.

It doesn’t amuse me in the slightest. It’s getting very old to be told you’re “doing feminism wrong”.

I keep getting this advert, and every time I do my brain screams LOBSTER CLAW at me

I am amazed at the amount of people on here who have never worn crotchless pants before. Maybe TMI but when my libido took a nosedive after starting SSRIs they were one of the things that helped bring it back- wasn't wearing them every day of course, but walking around feeling like I have a 'secret' makes you feel very sexy.

<Misses the point>

Well I'm pleased to learn a new technical term. 'Eyelash detailing'. Who knew? 😋

The latter have been sold for years. Y fronts!

As I have previously clarified up thread, my meaning was a cut out penis hole for titillation purposes.
This would be equivalent to crotchless knickers.

Thongs are what I wear daily, mine are comfortable, prevent visible lines and stop the dreaded 4 bum cheeks that some briefs give me!
They dont have to be uncomfortable!
No to crotchless ones

My mum was a young woman during the Second World War and used to call a woman of the same age as her as "American Knickers".
One Yank and they're off !!

I hope you don’t mean men who role play Benny Hill - those little round glasses and funny hat wouldn’t do it for me!

The problem for a male equivalent is that our stuff is all on the outside so anything like crotchless pants would mean no support or containment for the meat and veg, friction issues with trouser zips, potential issues with bits getting caught in zips....

The mind boggles 😂

… and your grandma probably bought her stockings and suspenders there. Times change. I wouldn’t wear a crotchless thong. I wouldn’t wear dungarees either. Neither are me! But to say it shouldn’t be allowed?

Women who enjoy and embrace their sexuality (try reading the feminist book “Raising the Skirt” by Dr Catherine Blackledge) are no less feminist than those who criticise women for choosing what to buy.

Im not sure what material is left in a crotchless thong? 😂

Starter, main, a bottle of wine and a choice of desert or a box of condoms. 😀
