HERE'S WHAT YOU LOVE (AND HATE) ABOUT RECEIVING LINGERIE FOR CHRISTMAS...

 

Are your partner’s bra buying skills up to scratch? With Christmas around the corner, we asked almost 9000 Boux shoppers to dish the dirt!

Lingerie shopping for someone else can be complicated, so we spent five-weeks gathering intel on your faves and pet-hates when receiving gifts from your one and only.

 

Receiving Lingerie: Yeah? Or Nah

77% of women who receive lingerie from a partner say its perfect

You said keep the lingerie coming! Around 77% of women are thrilled when receiving surprise lingerie from their partner, saying it’s perfect and they wouldn’t change a thing. Nearly a quarter of women aren’t always satisfied, however, with wrong size and style as top reasons for a disappointing gift. Only a handful of you answered, ‘how do I return it?!’, which proves just what good sports you are when partners get it wrong!

Lesson learned for the rest of us…if you’ve put underwear on the Christmas list this year, make sure to specify important deets like size, colour preference and style!

Or, just send your partner here for a few not so subtle hints on how to shop for you!

Playing the Size Game

27% of women say their partner is clueless about their lingerie size

We were thrilled to discover over 80% of partners are thoughtful enough to spoil their leading ladies with gorgeous underwear. Even better than that, more than half already know the correct size to buy! For those hit or miss moments (guaranteed to happen occasionally!) and the 27% of women who say their partner’s absolutely clueless, all they need are a few low-key hints to steer them in the right direction! 

 

Who Needs an Occasion?

13% of womens ay 'it's more of a gift for him than me' when receiving lingerie

Most of us don’t need a reason to covet sizzling hot lingerie and luxe loungewear. In fact, Boux shoppers love stylish underwear so much that 53% said they buy it themselves, no occasion needed! For women gifted underwear from partners, 24% say it’s usually for a flashy special occasion. Only 10% admit it’s something they’d wear daily - confirming our sneaky little suspicion that your boo is way more interested in what they’d like to see you wear than what you’re actually into!
