Most men buy their partner ill-fitting lingerie
60% of men in a relationship have ended up in the dog house after buying their other half lingerie which doesn't fit, it has been found.
A survey of 3,000 women discovered millions of blokes have fallen into the trap of buying their partner underwear which is too small.
It was found a similar number of men have accidentally bought lingerie a size too big -- interestingly both mistakes often lead to "Are you saying I'm too fat" argument.
However, the most common complaint was that men buy the 'wrong style' of underwear and only consider what they want to see their wife of girlfriend wearing.
While buying bras which are 'too tarty' was the fourth most common complaint, buying underwear which is 'too frumpy' and 'not tarty enough' are eighth and tenth on the list -- making us wonder who's buying underwear for Goldilocks.
TOP 10 THINGS MEN GET WRONG UNDERWEAR SHOPPING
1. Wrong style
2. Too small
3. Too big
4. Too tarty
5. Wrong colour
6. Wrong fabric
7. Old fashioned
8. Too frumpy
9. Too itchy

A spokeswoman for Gossard, which commissioned the study, said: "It's amusing so many men can't seem to get it right when buying lingerie for the love of their life.
"The most important thing to get right is the correct size which isn't that hard. Men should check the size of their girlfriend's everyday underwear and buy the same size as that.
"Try and think of the clothes she likes to wear and the colours she likes - that should help find something that would appeal to her taste."
