We are working with M&S over the next couple of months or so, to find out what you think about three of M&S's key ranges:

~ shapewear
~ kidswear
~ Simply Fuller Longer (this is only available in store - see store locator for your nearest store)

M&S have asked us to recruit a panel of MNers to take part in product tests and give their feedback. Panellists will be given M&S vouchers to spend on shapewear or Simply Fuller Longer, and asked to take part in a discussion about kidswear, which all MNers will be able to take part in. There will be a prize draw for every project.

This is open to all UK MNers who have at least one child. It doesn't matter if you currently buy M&S products or not, they are looking for both buyers and non-buyers. If you sign up and indicate that you'd like to take part in the Simply Fuller Longer product test, then please note that you will need to be within easy reach of an M&S store as the vouchers for this can't be redeemed online.

If you haven't yet visited the M&S pages on Mumsnet, please do check them out here.

If you're interested in taking part please add your details here.

Thanks and good luck
MNHQ

Mines not arrived either. Shame as I'm at work the rest of the week - Saturday and today were the only days I was in - and free to spend!! I'm planning on going to a store and to try some bits. My main thing is my belly, so lots of pants I am hoping. Is anyone going to be brave and do the photos??!

Katz · 28/05/2012 14:03

I did my order yesterday online - i used the voucher as mentioned above.

MrsJohnDeere · 28/05/2012 14:07

Losing the will to live with my (attempted) online order. Now remembered why I don't buy things from M&S very often - too much hassle. Every time I try to place an order and click to confirm it bounces back to the 'choose a delivery method' page. Given up for today.

Olympia2012 · 28/05/2012 14:22

Mine also arrived by parcelforce. And I am having trouble using online ordering via mobile site!

Put something in trolley, in stock, then out of stock by time I went to pay! It was one of you lot, pinching all the size 16's!! I know it! Grin

Nothing here yet :(

Didn't realise you could order swimwear - might have a look at that.

Raahh · 28/05/2012 14:38

I've not had mine either. But if it is coming parcelforce, then i expect it might come anytime. I hope I wasn't out (our pf deliverers rarely leave a cardHmm)

Raahh · 28/05/2012 15:27

ignore me- it's just comeGrin

Raahh · 28/05/2012 15:29

Will probably spend instore, as I live very close to one, and know if I order online sizes are an issue (I'm short and norky, so body-type things are a problem) ExcitedGrin

Solo · 28/05/2012 15:41

Is it in the form of a gift card? I got a gift card through, but as there was nothing to say anything, I assumed it was compensation for faulty goods! Grin good job I didn't spend it! (only came today)

I got my voucher today via a delivery company, i'll go into my little store this week to see if they stock any of it, if not i'll go online. Will do some research online to see what I fancy first.

gazzalw · 28/05/2012 17:08

Still haven't received it here....

nickiminja · 28/05/2012 20:30

Grrrrrr everything I click on has sold out!

Greenshadow · 29/05/2012 15:24

Vouchers arrived and looking at selection.

What puzzles me, is that most of the knickers stop at or below the tummy button. Surely this will just lead to a 'muffin top' effect above the top of the pants. I'm not that big, just developed 'middle-aged spread' over the last few years and the tummy is the bit that definitely needs controlling.

Anyone tried the knickers yet and able to let me know before I order?

Greenshadow · 29/05/2012 15:24

Would be lovely to see a photo on their website of someone wearing the undies who actually needs shapewear rather than a skinny model....

KatieScarlett2833 · 29/05/2012 16:43

I got mine yesterday, bought some nice stuff online, even better was the £5 off offer so got £40 worth of stuff instead of £35 by typing LINGERIE into the promotional codes part.

nickiminja · 29/05/2012 16:47

Some of the knicker reviews do indeed say about the squishing fat upwards thing Greenshadow
I wanted control camis but all sold out. As I don't own a skirt/dress I went for assorted styles of massive pants, I won't be able to put them on the washing line tho...

KatieScarlett2833 · 29/05/2012 17:12

I bought THIS

and some knickers.

Just had note from M&S saying my order is on its way.

Solo · 29/05/2012 17:36

I thought I'd get two items (with the promo code) and add a couple of £'ss to it, but the second item is out of stock. Just wondering if I should wait to see if it is restocked this week or...not sure what really.

KatieScarlett2833 · 29/05/2012 17:45

At least you'll have some comments for the part about the ordering process online Solo

How much business do M&S lose by not having enough stock do you think?

Solo · 29/05/2012 18:02

Must be loads this week! what with us lot ordering ~ or trying to!

KatieScarlett2833 · 29/05/2012 18:11

Love the floral lace body Katz, I nearly bought this in nude but as am norkily-challenged thought it might erase them altogether...... Grin

Katz · 29/05/2012 18:35

Katie - for controlled underwear it doesn't look to frumpy. Will let you know what it does on the nork front although i'm lare of bust 32f or G depending on the shop!
