February Wantable Intimates Review


The Price: First box is $40, each box after is $36
The Goods: 3-4 items chosen based on your style preferences


Rene Rofe Thermal Pant: (~$10)  For some reason, the size they chose for me is several sizes too large.  It's the size that's printed on my packing slip so I'm assuming that someone misclicked? 


 Real Fusion Tank: ($32)  The material on this is so strange.  It's sort of similar to swimsuit material, and I swear I have a pair of VS boyshorts made out if it.  I like it for boyshorts, but for a tank it makes me feel a little claustrophobic.


Pajama Drama Cami: ($21)  I generally prefer camis without lace, but I quite like the cut of this one.  It's soft and swingy and doesn't feel restricting.


Total Value: $63

Well, this month is better in value than last month's, but overall I give my second attempt at a Wantable Intimates subscription a resounding "Meh."  They've been revamping how all of their subs work and I'm not really impressed with it.  Besides the decrease in the number of items, it seems like they aren't sending out the same quality in brands either.

January Wantable Intimates Review


The Price: $36
The Goods: 3-4 items chosen based on your style preferences


In case you're curious, these are my product preferences.


Muk Luks Slipper Sox: ($24)  I changed my profile to Like socks specifically so I would get these.  I do wish I'd gotten a different pattern, but I still like them.


Pajama Drama Velvet Insert Set: ($22)  I can't decide how I feel about this; I rarely ever wear pajama sets as actual sets.  The shorts are fine but the top fits a little oddly...and I'm not sure how I feel about the velvet insets.



Total Value: $46

This box was kind of disappointing.  I'm assuming that they're counting the set as two pieces to get the item count up to 3, but the value seems low.  (Does that make me sound like a brat?)  Wantable's return policy would allow me to return the pajamas and keep the Muk Luks for their retail price but I'm thinking about just returning the whole box.

December Wantable Intimates Review


The Price: $36
The Goods: 3-4 items chosen based on your style preferences


Modern Heritage Fleeced Footless Tights: ($16)  I'm a firm believer that there's no such thing as too many tights or leggings.  These are super soft and cuddly and warm.


Natural Fiber Tank: ($18) There is a bit of gapping under my arms, but this tank is really soft and comfortable so it will be fine for lounging around.


 Nomad by Pajama Drama Sleep Shirt: ($17)  I love this! It's really soft (new drinking game, drink when I call something soft) and I'm a sucker for leopard print.


Nomad by Pajama Drama Romper: ($16) YAAAS.  I adore onesies and rompers.  They're annoying as hell when you have to use the restroom, but I love them anyway.


Total Value: $67

I had a subscription to Wantable Intimates a while back and I've been debating giving it another go for the past couple months.  They offered a deal on Black Friday for 50% off your first box so I couldn't say no.  For $18, I am more than thrilled with this box.

May Wantable Intimates Review


The Cost: $36 with subscription, $40 one time purchase
The Goods: Intimate essentials chosen based on your preferences.


Ozone Socks Victorian Bird Socks: ($10.40)  At first these made me think of Christmas for some reason.  I really like the colors in them, but I wish it wasn't so hard to tell that there are birds on these.


Miel Mimi Coral Bandeau: ($24.50)  I tend to prefer bandeaus that are a bit more lined, but this one is super comfy so I'll definitely get a lot of wear out of it around the house.


Honeydew Striped 2 Piece Set: ($38)  Wantable said that this set runs small so they sent a size up.  I think I would have been better off with my usual size - the tank fits like a dress!  The material is super soft, though.


Total Value: $72.90

I didn't *love* any of the items that I received this month.  (The pajama set probably would have been a hit if it had fit better.)  I went ahead and cancelled my Intimates subscription and plan on giving the Accessories box a go next month.

April Wantable Intimates Review


The Cost: $36 with subscription, $40 one time purchase
The Goods: Intimate essentials chosen based on your preferences.


When you sign up, you fill out a quiz of loves, likes, and dislikes.  These are the mine:


St. Eve Lace Knot Front Chemise: ($36)  I received the magenta version of this in my February box.  I'm not sure that I needed the same chemise in two colors, but I'll wear both of them anyway since I have them.


K. Bell Crew Socks: ($9) I think I've mentioned it before, but I have a weakness for socks.  These are comfy, but holy crap there are some amazing styles on the K. Bell website.  I'm really tempted to buy their mystery bag.


St. Eve Tunic Cami: ($15)  I'm not a fan of this cami.  For some reason, it looks really young to me - I probably would have worn it in middle school.  I might wear it to work out in, but the colors aren't really me.


Nina Sensoy Tank Top: ($22.95)  I'm a firm believer that there is no such thing as too many black tanks.  This one is super soft and fits really well.  It's a bit sheer but the good news is that when I tried it on, all these wrinkles were non-existent.


Total Value: $82.95

Well, this is probably my least favorite intimates box so far.  I was a little disappointed to see the same nightie, but the tank and socks will probably get enough use to more than make up for that and the cami.

March Wantable Intimates Review



The Cost: $36
The Goods: Intimate essentials chosen based on your preferences.


In case you're curious, here are my preferences:


Wantable Soft Bra: (~$20)  This sports bra is super soft and has removable cup liners.  It's not something I could go running in, but it'll be great for lounging and yoga.


Betsey Johnson Luscious Lite Cami Tap Set: ($59)  Love, love, love this pajama set.  It's insanely soft, the shorts are the perfect length and the top is loose and flowy without being massive or baggy.  Even J said the set was cute while I was doing my unboxing.


Look Solid Cotton Leggings: ($22)  I pretty much live in leggings, but most of mine are black.  I'm excited to have another bold pair!  I tried them on and they seem pretty opaque, which is great.  I hate leggings you can see straight through.


Total Value: $101

I couldn't be happier with my box this month.  I know I'll wear everything I received and the value is amazing!

February Wantable Intimates Review


The Cost: $36
The Goods: Intimate essentials chosen based on your preferences.


Icy Hot Invisible Bra Straps: ($7.99)  Meh.  The only bras I have that have removable straps are multi-way bras so that kind of eliminates the need for invisible straps.  I thought I had put Accessories as dislike, but apparently hadn't - I changed that though!


St. Eve Lace Knot Front Chemise: ($38) I really like the color of this.  The top is lined but the lace body isn't.  It's a lot longer than most of my "nighties." If it weren't quite so low cut, I'd be kind of tempted to try it on over a slip and wear it as a dress.


Muk Luks Footless Tights: ($15)  It seems like every time I go to put on a pair of tights, I wind up finding a snag in whichever ones I'm wearing.  These fit well and are a good length.


Happy Socks Rose Sock: ($12) I love these!  I'm obsessed with socks and these are no exception. They're the perfect length for my combat boots.


Total Value: $72.99

 All in all, I'm pleased with my first Intimates box.  I did move Accessories and Shapewear into my dislikes for the future, though.  I didn't realize when signing up that they send boxes based on sign up date and not on a specific ship date.  I may have to get that fixed so that I don't have to wait ALL month every month for my shipment!
