Boody bamboo, how to find the right fit
Short answer: When you choose Boody bamboo, the fit matters more than the brand name. Measure yourself, read the size chart and try both sizes if you fall between two. Here is a simple order of steps so the underwear sits well from morning to evening.
Boody bamboo and fit, where do you start
Start with your own measurements rather than the size you usually take. Sizes vary between brands, and Boody bamboo may sit differently from underwear you have worn before. Take out a tape measure and write the numbers down, so you have something firm to compare with when you read the size chart.
Measure yourself first
Measure around your waist and around your hips at the widest point, and let the tape lie flat without pulling tight. That gives you two numbers to use in the chart. If you want more models to compare, look at bamboo underwear for women and read the size guide on each page.
How to read the size chart
Find your waist measurement and your hip measurement in the chart and see which size the two numbers point to. If they fall in different sizes, it is usually the hips that decide for briefs, because the brief needs room over the widest point. Also check whether the chart is given in centimetres or inches before comparing.
If you fall between two sizes
If you fall between two sizes, think about what you use the underwear for. For everyday wear and long periods of sitting, many choose the larger so the elastic does not press. For sport or under close-fitting clothes the smaller may feel calmer. Try both if you can and notice which suits you.
Fit at the waist and legs
The elastic at the waist should lie softly and stay in place without cutting in, and the leg edges should not leave deep marks in the skin. Bend forward, sit down and walk a few steps to feel whether anything shifts. If the fabric creeps up or bunches, the size is probably too small or too big.
How it should sit after a whole day
The real test is wearing the underwear all day. After a few hours you should almost forget you have it on. If you notice anything rubbing, tightening or rolling down, it is a sign the fit is not quite right. Then it is better to swap to another size than to get used to it.
Compare with other brands
Every brand has its own cut, so you cannot count on the same size fitting the same everywhere. For a comparison, take a look at JBS of Denmark and read their size guide. Note which size sits best, so you find the right one faster next time.
Washing so the fit lasts
Bamboo in clothing is viscose made from bamboo, and the fabric keeps its shape best when you follow the care label. Avoid high heat and let the pieces dry flat or in the shade. If you look after the elastic, the underwear stays where it should. For something on top, see bamboo T-shirt for women.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know I have the right size?
Underwear fits when the elastic lies softly and the fabric does not bunch or creep up. After a few hours you should almost forget you are wearing it.
Should I choose a bigger size if I am unsure?
It depends on what you use it for. For everyday wear many choose the larger so the elastic does not press, while the smaller can suit sport or close-fitting clothes.
Does the same size fit at every brand?
No, each brand has its own cut, so sizes can vary. Always use your own measurements and the size chart that belongs to the brand you are looking at.
