What's the Best Underwear to Buy as a Gift? An Underwear Gift Buying Guide
Buying underwear is a great gift idea. And it's not just for your partner - gifting underwear for your friends and family will make them feel super special as well.
But buying underwear for someone else can be risky, so what are the best types of underwear to gift someone? Take a look at our guide for the things you might need to consider before purchasing.
How to choose the right underwear for a gift?
First things first, the underwear needs to fit well. It can be tricky to figure out somebody else’s size, especially when asking them would give the game away!
Take a look at our handy Size Guide showing UK, Europe, and US sizes as well as measurements and bra sizes. If you can find a way to sneak a peek at your giftee’s existing undies sizes that might help to give you an idea. If not, and you get the size wrong, we offer 30 days fuss free returns or exchanges across our range so you can make sure you’ve got the perfect fit.
What is the best underwear style for gifting?
The next step is to figure out what their favourite underwear style is. Do they prefer fuller coverage knickers? A bra with more support? Or men’s trunks in a longer leg cut?
With our wide range of organic cotton women’s knickers, you can make sure you find the right style for them. In the right pair of pants, anyone will feel like a superstar! So have a think about whether they usually prefer a higher waistband on their undies or a lower waistband with more bottom coverage.
When it comes to bras, it can be tricky as most people have a specific fit that makes them feel good. However, with our organic cotton bralettes for women, we’ve designed a style to suit a range of body types and which offers light support in a comfy and soft fit. For those who prefer more support, our organic cotton non-wired bra offers the support of an underwired bra without the uncomfortable digging in.
If you’re shopping for organic cotton men’s boxers, we offer three leg lengths in our men’s trunks style. With a hipster, mid length, or longer leg style, you can find the option they’ll feel most comfortable in.
How to buy comfortable underwear as a present?
Which brings us to the next key point - comfort! When gifting underwear, it’s important that the wearer feels comfortable or your present might not see much other than the back of the drawer! With our super soft organic cotton underwear for women and men, the stretchy and smooth fabric is a dream against the skin and won’t irritate or cause nasty rashes.
With all of that in mind, take a look at some of our underwear gifting ideas to show the people on your list that you care.

The power of positive pants!
Now for the best part - Y.O.U Underwear is a social enterprise company and we donate one pair of underwear for every pair that we sell (pants, bras, loungewear all included). We work with our charity partner Smalls for All, who distribute underwear in Africa and the UK to people facing barriers to buying accessing it. This important work supports people by offering dignity and hygiene and, crucially, reduces the one of the obstacles many girls face when going to school.
