"H&M are the WORST for this! Yet you can get a small or medium top and it be huge! Make it make sense!!!!" another raged.
"I’m a 14 and I put seven pairs of my jeans on top of each other," a third commented.
"I had from size 10 to 18. All identical waist size."
"Some shops I won’t go in unless I’m closer to a 14 or below as their '18' won’t fit, which would be the biggest size," someone else said.
H&M has been contacted for comment.
