    I'm a man I don't try anything on, I very rarely take anything back because of size. They almost always fit.

    I have taken one set of trousers based on style.

    Or... people buy stuff, take it home, try it on then bring it back. I don't remember seeing many changing rooms in supermarkets (but Waitrose doesn't sell clothes so I could be wrong). I much prefer to try on at home rather than in the shop as I'm invariably wearing something that's a pain to remove or simply doesn't work with whatever I'm trying on.

    If you don't know the cut of the clothes, and supermarket sizing is more random than most clothing, then this is inevitably going to happen.

    Men's and children's clothes also vary in size between stores. As women tend to be the person/people in a household who buy most of the clothes it is often them taking them back.

    nope its lost that because it seems they want the young styles.

    Apart from the food court the M&S in Maidenhead is always empty.

    People are just so stupid, everyone, including most men know they are different sizes in different products. Back in the 80's when I played prop forward I had quite chunky/muscular thighs. Could I find a pair of skinny jeans that would fit both waist and thighs, could I feck. So I had to buy 36 waist when I was 32. It did give the girls plenty of room for a quick fondle though
    The condoms I buy are XS but it's a fault of the manufacture because I know I'm XXL

    The trick is to find a shop where the clothes have a reliable fit, are comfortable and good quality. Then you know you can walk in and pick size X (or XXXL in my case) and it fits.

    It's just a shame (I'm looking at you, Hobbs) when they stop producing clothes you want to wear and you have to start the hunt for another shop.

    Primark and some supermarket clothes are just random sizes. It's got worse as other shops including M&S have joined them.

She might indeed be able to prove she can fit in a 10 but wouldn't that be a bit hypocritical if she's complaining about clothes that don't match the size. I hope the poor girl hasn't opened herself up to a world of abuse.

    Different sized clothes from different shops has been an issue for as long as I can remember but I do think she might be regretting posting this now.
    I hope she hasn't too, the laugh was at the naivety of thinking all clothes adhere to the same standard, why do they think there is so many tinternet returns?

    Most men couldn't give two hoots about reasonable size or wobbly bits, we're just glad to see a naked woman ( or 2 or 3 but no more) climbing into bed with us!
