• How to fit in at the gym: A very large majority of questions were gym related, and showed hints of anxiety around an activity that is intimidating for many. How can we provide guidance and confidence?‍
• Sweat Busting: Many dudes asked questions about how to tackle excessive sweating, both in everyday life and while participating in sports? Can we address the issue head on?‍
• Clothing Gender Perceptions: A lot of questions centred around the social acceptance of men wearing certain types of activewear—especially leggings—and lulu products specifically. If this is an issue that lulu wants to approach from a brand perspective, there is an audience desire for leadership in this space.‍
• Problem-solving and tutorial seeking: Ex. “How can I stretch out my tight-fitting elastic shirt?” or “How to wash [brand] down jacket?” Or “How long does activewear take to air dry inside?”‍
• Quality and sustainability: Men increasingly want to know when and how their clothes are made, and if they will truly last over time. They’re taking the time to search and ask for answers.‍
• Adaptability to different body types: Common questions included men looking for activewear suited to an athletic/”ripped” build, short stature, v-shaped bodies, and plus-sized.
