To find your underwear size, measure your waist (narrowest part) and your hips (fullest part) with a soft tape, then match your hip measurement to the product's size chart. The hip measurement is usually the most important for underwear. If you're between two sizes, sizing up is more comfortable for everyday wear. Here's the full method.
Part of our complete guide to women's underwear in Pakistan.
What do you need to measure your underwear size?
Just a soft measuring tape and about two minutes. If you don't have a fabric tape, a piece of string measured against a ruler works just as well.
How do you measure your waist and hips?
- Waist: Wrap the tape around the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above the belly button. Keep it level and snug, not tight.
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
Which measurement matters most for underwear?
Your hip measurement is usually the most important for underwear sizing. Match it to the size chart on the product page, since charts vary slightly between styles and brands.
What size should you choose if you're between sizes?
Size up. For everyday underwear, the larger size is usually more comfortable and prevents digging or visible lines. A correct, smooth fit also lasts longer because the fabric isn't over-stretched.
Does seamless underwear fit differently?
Yes — seamless styles tend to have more stretch and a closer fit. If you prefer a smooth, no-show finish, see seamless vs regular underwear and how to stop visible panty lines.
