Are sexy pants ever a good gift?!

This thread is inspired by DH proudly presenting me with a gift bag yesterday with an Ann Summers bra and pants set inside. Red, lots of lace, massive cut out section across the bum...

I thought it was a bit of a thoughtless gift and he’s rather offended. Maybe because it’s the wrong size. Maybe because I’m breastfeeding a needy baby so this set is totally impractical and I’m also rather fed up of DD needing my body all day/most of the night so when she is in bed I just want a bit of personal space, rather than DH wanting my body too.

But then I thought about it and whenever any partner in the past has tried to buy my sexy underwear I’ve never been impressed either. It’s not a style thing as I have previously bought Ann Summers underwear for myself. I just don’t like people buying it for me I guess.

Is this just me?! Are there people out there who’d love to receive impractical, expensive underwear?!

YABU= I love receiving pants
YANBU= no thanks, much prefer to buy my own undies

In my experience all Ann Summers clothing is cheap, nasty, and ill fitting. I got some underwear as a joke present once. I certainly wouldn't want any as a serious gift.

When I was younger I used to like Chemise sets. So I would have appreciated one of those, or a couple of chemises.

I think he's possibly thought it was a way of telling you that you are as attractive to him as you always were. But he's got it very wrong which is hurtful.

Speak to him about it. Are you on the same page in regards to your sex life?

Sexy underwear is right up there with coronavirus for gifts I don’t want to receive.

This has made me laugh so thank you 😂
