Marks & Spencer has been criticised for selling a bra that should not be worn for more than eight hours.

The £20 "stick-on" bra has no straps and is marketed as "ideal for wearing with strapless or backless dresses and tops".
Manufacturer's guidance indicates that the bras should not be worn for more than eight hours.
The warning is due to the silicone content of the bra, which gives it its grip but can also irritate the skin of some wearers.
On the Marks & Spencer website the stick-on bra is praised for its 'smoothly moulded cups' which 'look invisible under clothes and give secure support'.
It states that the bra - which is 100 per cent polyester has a 'silicone edge', adding: "Any customers who experience discomfort or an adverse reaction should discontinue wearing it.
"We recommend that you do not wear for more than 8 hours at a time."
Housewife Shirley Moss, of Maidstone, Kent, said the concept was ludicrous.
She said: "It's usually about 12 hours at least before I take a bra off each day.
