Wantable Box

Wantable is a subscription box service with three different boxes – beauty, accessories, and intimates boxes! For each box you fill out an extensive style profile and then get a box customized just for you. Wantable guarantees that if you don’t love it, you can return it, which is very unique for a subscription box service! Boxes are $40 one time, $36 monthly. For January I received the intimates box! Wantable intimates boxes contain 4-5 premium essentials.  For January, Wantable boxes feature

Let’s make a New Year’s resolution to throw out our boring old socks, panties, tanks, and camis and trade them in for some gorgeous new intimates! Wantable favorites, Betsey Johnson and Steve Madden are back with just enough sweetness and sass, and St. EVE panties are equal parts comfortable and chic. If you’re looking for something a little more romantic, On Gossamer has the prettiest lace bralettes. To keep you warm while the weather’s still frosty, our footless fleece-lined tights are just the ticket. Add some cozy Ozone socks and you’ll be prepared for anything the weather has in store.

Everything in my box this month. It was a nice mix of various items.

My Wantable Preferences
My Wantable Preferences

These are the preferences that were on my Wantable account. There are additional preferences, these are the general categories. I had that I disliked socks, I was hoping for the fleece lined footless tights mentioned on the website.

Muk Luks Tights
Muk Luks Tights

MUK LUKS/Izabella Herringbone Tights ($15) These have a nice herringbone pattern (impossible to show in Vermont light!). They are microfiber and pretty thin.

Wantable Cami

Wantable Two-Way Cami ($16) You can wear it either way! I liked that it was seamless.

Bella Thong
Bella Thong

Bella Thong ($4) This wasn’t on my packing list. A QT Intimates Boyshort Animal Print was. Boyshorts are on my Wantable “dislike” list. For some reason thongs weren’t, but should have been.

Steve Madden Sleep Shorts
Steve Madden Sleep Shorts

Steve Madden Sleepy Shorts ($10) These are relatively nice shorts, and I’m not surprised to find they’re available online for $10 instead of the $30 on my packing list. They’re thin cotton, and not something I would wear in January. They are a cute fun pattern.

My Wantable Intimates box had a value of $45, about $10 more than the cost of the box (the total retail value on my packing list was $75). The box was okay, but it didn’t say winter/January to me at all or “gorgeous new intimates” either. I did receive a featured brand – Steve Madden – but I’m disappointed with this box. Had I paid for it out of pocket, I would likely return it, as I just don’t love it. If you’d like to give Wantable a spin, you can subscribe on their site and find out more about all three of their boxes. I do continue to recommend them as even if you get a dud, you can return it. I will probably still get the Intimates box next month for Valentine’s Day!

    My box was kind of disappointing as well. I got the red cami, a blue cami (this was soft and I loved it but not the other 3 items 🙁 ) a very tiny lace soft bra that was supposed to be a medium, and um, a pair of nude colored underwear that looked shiny? And kind of looked like a diaper, my sister couldn’t stop laughing at them 😡

      I am returning it, I will just wait until a box I love! Looking forward to seeing February’s, too. 🙂 they are very fast about returns or replacements!

    I had a really disappointing box as well which made me extra bummed as this was my first box. I got the pontelle socks everyone got in the December box, a steve madden sleep shirt (cute but I do not wear nightgowns), a cami without a shelf bra component (my chestage is much too big for such things), and some footless fleece tights. This wasn’t at all what I was expecting from the description and I am seriously considering returning as the tights, the only thing I liked, don’t seem like enough reason to keep it.

      Return and try again next month! It seriously is no big to return! I am definitely ordering for February (intimates again) because 1) I want to give intimates another shot and 2) Valentine’s Day! Why not 🙂

    Oh no. So sorry you didn’t like this box. I like the items but I agree it just doesn’t scream Jan to me either. Mine should come next week when I’m out of town so I’ll get it when I get home and I can’t wait. I loved last months so much.

      Yeah, a hoodie or pants would have been more my thing! I can’t wait until my daughter is the same size and I can just share everything!!! She already steals half my jewelry and all the sunglasses. Which reminds me, I totally want to get LASIKed this year. I’m saving!
