Let's be honest, if your underpants don't fit right, you're going to be miserable all day. The dreaded panty ride-up can be one of the most distracting situations to suffer through. It will affect your comfort level all day. Therefore, it almost goes without saying that underpants need to fit your contours without creeping, and feel natural if you don't want to spend all day tugging and squirming.

Well, you never have to experience this again if the next time you go shopping for underpants, you purchase the size that's right for you.

Determining your proper panty fit requires that you know two components: waist measurement and hip measurement. If possible, recruit someone to take your measurements. It's faster and tends to be more accurate.

Waist Measurement

Measure your waist by placing the tape measure around the natural indentation or break in your waist. If you need help locating this indentation, bend to the side; the crease will be the location of your waist.

Hip Measurement

Measure the fullest part of your hips, making sure the tape measure remains parallel to the floor. This is your hip measurement.
Now that you know your two measurements, consult the chart below to determine your proper underpants size. If your measurements represent two different panty sizes, choose the larger of the two sizes.
