In the run-up to Valentine's Day, the Viva offices have been bombarded with rose-coloured soaps, perfumes, candles, naughty knickers and a tonne of other romantic paraphernalia.
However, possibly the most useful piece of information that has crossed the desks of women seeking something for a significant masculine other are the findings of a recent Bendon survey.
Turns out that more than two-thirds of local chaps like to try and get a little bit buff if they're planning to get lucky and almost half of them will buy new knickers in preparation for a big date on Valentine's Day. So they do care!
The survey into what lies beneath, conducted late last year with almost 500 men responding, also found that fitted trunks were the most popular style of boys' undie with cotton boxers second most popular.
So there you go, ladies - forget those horrible satiny
numbers with cartoon characters on them. Now you know what to get your
fella if he's not into roses or aftershave.
