When Bridget Jones’ granny knickers were revealed during a passionate date, thousands of women worldwide cringed. It appears that we are now taking measures to avoid finding ourselves in a similar predicament.
A recent survey indicates that an impressive 43 per cent of women keep a pair of enticing underwear in their handbags… just in case.
Thus, having a hidden pair of knickers is a necessity – to switch into if a date goes better than anticipated.
However, there’s no need for excessive worry. Forty per cent of men surveyed by Sainsbury’s stated they would not bat an eye if their date wore shapewear.
The survey, which included 2,500 adults, also unveiled unexpected statistics regarding the types of underwear we purchase based on our sizes.
It showed that slender, size 8 women typically wear practical cotton panties, while those who are size 16 prefer flirtier matching sets.
On the other hand, size 14 women are the most inclined to wear suspenders or even occasionally forgo underwear altogether.
One-third of the nation’s women are even planning to buy new lingerie for the celebration.
