Lounge Underwear Models: The Faces Behind The Mega-Brand What influencers are behind Lounge Underwear?
What is Lounge Underwear?
Lounge Underwear is a size-inclusive intimacy brand with over 3.3 million Instagram followers. A UK-based company, Lounge Underwear was formed in 2015 by founders Dan and Melanie Marsden. The couple strive to make inclusive, comfortable, and sex-positive intimacy products. They are the 5th fastest growing company in the UK and have now become a multi-million-pound company.
One of the co-founders, Dan Marsden, describes how within a few weeks of starting the company, one large Australian influencer posting their brand led them to have 12 sales in a day, when they had just been aiming for one a day. While it may not seem like a lot, those 12 sales set Lounge on an upward projection of sales for the next several years.
Lounge Underwear does not discriminate. They want to work with models of all shapes and sizes, as well as all followings, and they do not believe in the “normal” intimacy brand stereotype. They consistently have campaigns for breast cancer awareness and work to create a female-based staff. Their size ranges from XS to XXL, and are continuing to expand.
In an interview with Klarna, Melanie Marsden also stated how she believes diversity should be natural and that they want to show natural bodies of all shapes, blemishes and all, while also showcasing their beauty.
