A FASHION fan has shared an urgent warning to all Primark shoppers after noticing a mega change to the much-loved thongs.
Many of us will often flock to Primark to stock up our drawers with the cheap 'thongs we all know and love,' but now, a shopper has been left 'devastated' after spotting a very unwelcome alteration to the popular undies.

Eager to alert others to the news, Kayleigh, who is host of 'Mummahood The Podcast', claimed that the coverage of the thongs now resembles something similar to a G-string.
Gutted with the change, Kayleigh shares her public service announcement and said: 'This message is a little PSA to the girls that buy their underwear from Primark.
'Girls, you know the thongs that we all know and we love? I've got some silky ones, I've got some cotton ones, they're just so comfy.'
Kayleigh then showed off the front and back of her much-loved undies, but seconds later, held up her newer pair, which was much smaller and with far less coverage.
Clearly not impressed, she continued: 'I have gone to get some new ones - they're rolled up into a little ball so I didn't realise till I got home that what they're actually giving us now is sumo wrestler thongs.'
Not only was this bargain hunter not happy with the appearance of the tiny thongs, but she also claimed that things got even worse when she tried them on.
'I'm not joking, my bum has never looked more unflattering, and that's hard to do,' she claimed.
As a result, the content creator explained: 'They're going in the bin.'
Kayleigh's TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ mummahoodthepodcast, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as in just 24 hours, it has quickly racked up 114,900 views, 1,895 likes and 49 comments.
Fashion fans were gutted by the news and many even described the new thongs as 'horrible.'
'Finally' big busted girls praise Primark's new saucy matching £8 underwear sets and they now go up to size 44H
One person said: 'I did that as well, got two packs, got home and realised.'
Another added: 'Less coverage and more expensive!'
A third commented: 'Nooo literally I thought the exact same, they're horrible.'
Meanwhile, someone else sighed: ' Primark undies & socks have gone massively downhill recently.'
Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget

AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too.
For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect.
And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time.
But no matter what, Primark always delivers.
Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores.
While Rita's not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she's proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less.
Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards.
With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.
However, at the same time, not everyone was as down in the dumps, as one shopper beamed: 'Oh I thought they were even more comfortable!!! Prefer them like this.'
A second chimed in: 'Don't put them in the bin hun I'll have them!!!'
Whilst one fashionista penned: 'The smaller the better, I LOVE the T bar, AKA sumo wrestler thongs, they're so so comfy.'
