Wantable Intimates Subscription Box Review – March 2016

I really don’t understand who still subscribes to this box. They send TJ Maxx type of stuff, 3 pieces for $50. That’s crazy to me. You can spend $50 a month on Victoria’s Secret online and choose exactly what you want and it’s a much higher quality. That’s what I do now. They often have deals with free shipping on $50. I liked this sub when it was 4-5 items for $36. Obviously. What a great deal and it was a fun surprise. At the $50 price point, it’s much more of a risk.

I’m absolutely livid about my box. I got a pair of underwear clearly missing one of its bows. The shorts were great but the matching shirt… I was so embarrassed being inside of it. I’d told them my body shape and they gave me a high low that showed off my rather flabby stomach. I started crying wearing it and I never want to go back to them.

I subbed back when it was the older model and it NEVER worked out for me. Always a prob (size, damaged, not my taste, yada yada), but I just can’t see this box as being worth $50 for me. It’s not that these items are not cute bc they are. But for me, I would rather spend my $ on something else. I just don’t see this sub as worth it. But that’s me!

I don’t get the new craze for banded (around the ankle) pants. Visited Victoria’s Secret recently and they also mostly had sweats and lounge pants with banded legs. To me this style reminds me of kids pajamas or leggings from the 80’s. Also they seem to emphasize the shape of thighs which most of us prefer to appear slimmer (I’m not talking about you Haley, just generally, you look great in this style). I find a straight or slightly flared leg on casual pants (including jeans) much more flattering than the ones tapering at the ends. Now I say that having never actually tried on banded pants (can’t bring myself to), as I am slow to welcome new styles. After all I still cannot bring myself to wear tights with a top (I’m tall and it looks like I forgot to put on a skirt).

I really do love those pants! I’d wear them all the time. I do like ‘stream’ idea they’ve come up with. However, I was not a fan of how they changed their sub box model and raised the prices. For me, I don’t find getting three items to be worth $50, especially when I’ve known several subscribers who’ve found their items on other websites for way less than the RV that Wantable quotes. In the old sub box model, I only ever got one item that I didn’t like and my stylist was really good; she usually sent me items that I requested or adhered directly to my profile (this was out of 7/8 boxes, so that’s pretty awesome). However, I tried the new model 2x & was thoroughly disappointed both times. They changed my stylist who basically sent whatever she wanted (I got things thongs months in a row, when that was a dislike in my profile AND I stated in the notes to NEVER send that type of panty b/c I NEVER wear them & they would always be returned. Both boxes under the new model & price were returned in full. I cancelled after that and I don’t think I’ll be resubbing, even with the new ‘stream’ option. Just my two cents, of course. There are many subscribers who seem to really enjoy the new model, so I may be in the minority with this opinion. Who knows?

Haley I love what you got. This is my favorite box. If I only kept one box that I subscribe to, this would be the one I keep.
