M&S has upset mums with 'terrible' name of maternity bra and knicker sets

High street retailer M&S has found itself in hot water with shoppers over the 'terrible name' of a maternity bra and knickers set. Some shoppers have said they hate the name so much, it would put them off buying it.

Posting on Facebook, Marks and Spencer shared a picture of a pregnant woman wearing a gorgeous white lace bra and knicker set. The Plunge Lace Flexi Wired Nursing Bra costs £34.99, and has five-star reviews.

The matching knickers cost £16.99. But while shoppers have been impressed with how beautiful the set is, they're really not happy with the name of the 'Hotmilk' set.

Oonagh Doyle slammed: "Terrible name … wish Marks would introduce front fastening Bras which are attractive ! Many women struggle with back fastening bras." Gill Robertson said: "What a beautiful set - and a truly terrible name!"

Linda Sayers wrote: "Don't like the name would put me off buying." Nat Mincher asked: "I’m sorry… did you say Hot Milk? Hot. Milk?"

Marie Brierley joked: "'Hotmilk' bra (nursing) wow who thought of that one?" Liz Hogg commented: "Not a good name M&S."

Margaret Davis huffed: "Lovely bra . Dreadful name. Come on M&S you could do better..." Nicola Parrott continued: "I agree - an awful name."

The name did, however, have its fans. Christina Lowe said: "Well, it's part of the overall branding? It's what people's minds link to? A pregnant woman with Heavenly Hot Milkshake? Sooo wheres the milkshake coming from? The name just conjures up visions of someone expressing milk."

Yvonne Smith praised: "Name makes me laugh, which can't be that bad, lovely lingerie." Mary Purnell exclaimed: "There are so many lovely langerie sets for pregnant ladies than there
