How to Find Underwear to Fit Your Shape

Underwear should fit your body well.

Finding underwear that fits your shape properly will go a long way in ensuring your clothes fit well and your entire outfit is more comfortable. If you are unsure of how to find underwear that fits your body well, a few techniques and strategies will help you get the right size. Knowing your measurements is the first step in purchasing appropriate underwear, something every woman should be able to do for herself.

Things You'll Need

• Measuring tape

Instructions

1. Measure the diameter of your waist and hips, and bring these measurements with you to the lingerie store. Let the salespeople know your measurements, so they can help you choose the best sizes to try on.

2. Pay attention to the crotch area of the panties when trying them on, to make sure the material lays flat and is not too snug or too loose.

3. Make sure the waistband of the panty doesn't hug your skin too tight. The waistband should fit flat against your stomach without digging into your skin or drooping from being too loose.

4. Test the leg holes of the panties to make sure they fit appropriately. The leg holes shouldn't pinch or squeeze, but they also shouldn't gape open.
