M&S knickers - what’s happened?

I’m in my 40s and for most of my life I’ve bought my everyday wear knickers (thongs to be precise) from M&S. They’ve always washed well and lasted but I’ve found that the ones I’ve purchased during the last year or two have fallen off a cliff in terms of quality, e.g. holes appearing around the stitching after only a couple of washes.

Is it just me or are others having this issue? And can anyone recommend somewhere else where I can buy quality, comfortable cotton thongs that will last more than a few months?

I buy these and there's nothing wrong with the gusset size . 😂

I wear these, no vpl and very comfortable.

I hate to break the bad news but they have been discontinued ! Unable to get online or in store however they are going through a big repackaging of knickers. Assistant said they may emerge again 😬
