How Should Women’s Underwear Fit? (And Signs That They Don’t)

There are a lot of things an adult person needs in order to live a happy life. Some of them are obvious, like a home or food to eat. But something less obvious? The right fit for your underwear.

It may sound ludicrous, but having nice-fitting Undies literally changes your life. They’re the first thing you put on, so they set the tone for your entire day. If they don’t fit right, you risk the chance of being uncomfortable, which will affect your mood, your behavior, your everything! 

If you’re questioning if you and your Undies are a match made in heaven, continue reading. We'll help you find the right underwear size and fit that will make your dreams come true.

How Should Underwear Fit?

〰️

How Should Underwear Fit? 〰️

When just right, Undies are meant to feel absolutely glorious. They should support you without restricting you, they should caress your skin with super-soft materials, they should allow you to move and should move with you so that you don’t ever have to think about ‘em. 

Basically, they should be comfy.

Should Women’s Underwear Be Tight Or Loose?

Great question, the answer is neither. Underwear should feel neutral: not too tight, not too loose.

How To Tell If Underwear Is Too Small

If you’re feeling restricted by your Undies, they gotta go. If your Undies leave marks on your skin after you take them off, they gotta go. If your Undies are making the skin around your hips bulge, they simply gotta go! Try a size up and see how you feel.

Signs Underwear Is Too Big

Getting wedgies? What about a loose waistline that you constantly have to adjust, or sagging in your booty area? Yeah, your Undies might be a little bit too big. Try going down a size or two.

Signs Your Underwear Fits Wrong

If you have a sneaking suspicion your Undies aren’t the right fit for you, consider the following: 

Baggy Fit

Unless you’re purposefully wearing roomy Boxers, you shouldn’t be swimming in your Undies. 

Painful Seams

Your Undies should 100% not cause you any pain. None! At! All!

Itchy Fabric

Please don’t torture yourself with itchy fabric when there are sooo many wonderful, comfortable, and soft fabrics readily available (like our signature MicroModal fabric, just saying). 

Boring

If your Undies aren’t making you smile or feel good, they’re not good enough for you. Life’s too short to wear boring underwear. 


How To Choose Comfortable Underwear

First and foremost, you should know your underwear size. Knowing your right size will lead you to the correct-fitting Undies that you so richly deserve. 

How to Know Your Underwear Size

To know your underwear size, you must measure yourself properly. But don’t worry, it’s super simple. For a step-by-step description and a women’s underwear size chart, check out this blog right here.

Fabric

Everyone has different needs and preferences, so there isn’t one perfect fabric for everyone. Luckily, we have three incredible fabrics that are suited for different purposes. 

  • Our signature MicroModal fabric is soft, stretchy, and breathable, making it a perfect choice for everyday wear. 

  • Next up, our organic Stretch Cotton fabric is for people who just can’t get enough of that classic cotton feeling (but with an added dash of stretch, because we love stretch). 

  • Finally, our anti-odor, moisture-wicking Breathe fabric is made for movement, so when you want to bust a move or pound some pavement, you can in total comfort.

Everybody is different, so every booty is different. You have to find out what works for you through some trial and error. If you’re currently wearing Undies that don’t fit well, don’t be ashamed! Today is the day you can turn everything around and begin anew.
