How to Determine Your Panty Size

Step 1: Measure your waist

Wrap a soft measuring tape snugly around your natural waist. For help finding this area, try bending sideways—the crease that forms should mark the spot. Make sure the measuring tape is parallel to the ground, and then take your measurement.

Step 2: Measure your hips

Keeping the measuring tape parallel to the ground, wrap it around the fullest part of your hips, and then record your measurement.

Step 3: Determine your size

With these two numbers in hand, find your ideal fit in the panty size chart.

How Should Underwear Fit?

Crotch

This area should lie flat and secure against the body. Fabric shouldn’t bunch or sag in the front or back, and it should feel snug but not constrictive. If there’s a seam, it should be visible from the front.

Waistband

The waistband shouldn’t bunch, roll, or dig into your skin. It should stay in place without causing discomfort.

Legs

Check to make sure the leg openings are evenly arched and that they don’t hug too tightly or cause indentations.

Buttocks

Though the guidelines change based on style, underwear should generally cover the buttocks in an even, symmetrical way. If they ride up, try a larger panty size.
