Buying lingerie for a woman is famously difficult - countless experts tell men every year to never buy a woman lingerie, that women hate it and that men always get it wrong. Here at Knickers we have a little more faith in mankind, and we're here to provide a helping hand to men who want to give her an intimate, romantic gift that's just as beautiful as she is.

How does the quiz work?

We've come up with seven lingerie personalities, ranging from the Virgin to the Vixen. Our gift guide and all of our articles are categorised according to each personality, which makes it really easy for you to choose between a myriad of lingerie styles. All you need is her size (don't get caught peeking!) and her lingerie personality. To help with the latter, we've created this quiz. Just answer the questions below and you'll be halfway there to buying a beautiful lingerie gift! Once you find out her personality, you can browse our Gift Guide for the perfect gift.

Remember to base your answers on what she currently wears, rather than what you'd like to her to wear!
