Dunja Kokotovic, Intimina brand manager, said, “Today’s women prioritise something truly transformative: understanding and embracing their own bodies. The survey results are clear: confidence and comfort in womanhood are valued more than traditional milestones like travel or financial success. Yet, the journey to that confidence can be challenging, especially for younger generations who’ve had to overcome societal pressures and embrace their womanhood fully consciously. This shift, seen across all ages, highlights a cultural change where self-awareness and empowerment are key, showing that true success starts with self-love and health.” Also read | Curvy women are more attractive: Study says curves define attractiveness rather than the waist-to-hip ratio
