Guide to Fitting Panties, Girdles and Shapers

Perfect Fit Panties, Girdles and Shapers

  • Panty size should be determined by the size of the hips.
  • Measure the hips with a tape measure around the fullest part. Then measure the waist.
  • The following chart shows the average relationship between waist/hip measurements and panty size. Although the usual determining factor is the hip size, the waist measurement should also be considered.

The Bottom Line

The greatest mystery of the female anatomy shows up in fitting bottoms

.

Waist, Hip, and Stride proportions are as unpredictable as women themselves. You can use this chart as a rough guideline but the easiest way is to follow your slack size.

Small 4-6 25-26 35-36 65
Medium 8-10 27-28 37-38 70
Large 12-14 29-30 39-40 75
X-Large 16 31-32 41-42 80
2X-Large 18 33-34 43-44 85
3X-Large 20 35-36 45-46 90
4X-Large 22-24 37-38 47-48 95
Stride

You've probably dealt all of your life with pants that are too long or too short in the waist.

Because shapewear stretches...try...

  • If you are long - go up a size.
  • If you are short - go down a size.
