Figleaves sees surge in ‘sexy underwear’ searches as couples cosy up in lockdown – and this lingerie set is a best seller
There's no confidence booster like a gorgeous lingerie set😍
For thousands of couples across the nation, the coronavirus lockdown has meant being cooped up with one another for a lot more time than usual.
With week eight of the lockdown well underway, lovers stuck indoors with plenty of time to spare and a sparse looking to-do list are unsurprisingly getting a little more intimate.
In fact, underwear and lingerie brand Figleaves has reported a 46% surge in sales of ‘sexy underwear’ and a 100% increase in shoppers searching for sultry sets.
But in light of pandemic related wedding cancellations, the searches for bridal lingerie have plummeted.
To all the brides-to-be out there, we feel for you!
In happier news, bosses of the inclusive brand reckon the rise in racy undies sales could be followed by a spike in purchases for a rather different type of underwear.
Jenni Burt, Head of Figleaves said, “Lingerie shopping preferences have changed dramatically during lockdown, with searches for Bridal lingerie showing a steep decline whilst, sales of Sexy lingerie have nearly doubled. There’s a well-documented link between economic crisis and the birth rate and we’re already planning for a bump in maternity and nursing bra sales towards the end of this year.”

‘My boyfriend very much appreciated it,’ one wrote.
‘Sexy, comfy, perfect. All words that describe this bra,’ another penned, branding it a ‘perfect fit’.
