Boody underpants and the fit in practice
Short answer: Boody underpants should, like all underpants, sit firmly without squeezing: a flat waistband, leg openings that do not dig in and a gusset with room. Measure yourself, follow the size guide for the individual model and try them in motion before you decide.
Fit in practice with Boody underpants
When you look for Boody underpants that sit right, it is about checking a few things in the right order. Start with the size, then the waistband, then the legs and finally the gusset. Walk, sit down and bend over to feel how they behave in motion.
The waistband must stay down
A waistband that rolls down is too loose, and one that leaves deep marks is too tight. It should sit flat and calmly around the waist. If it slips, try a smaller size. See Boody for the models and read the size guide for each one.
Leg length and leg opening
Short, mid-length and long legs feel different. Long legs reach a little onto the thighs and protect against chafing, while short ones are lighter under shorts. The leg opening should hold without squeezing or rolling up. Choose the length by what you do, and try several if you can.
The gusset needs room
A gusset that is too tight presses, and one that is too loose can bunch. Many prefer a double-layer gusset because it gives more comfort. Check that the seams do not lie on a tender spot. Try sitting down to feel how the gusset lies.
The size on the label and in the guide
Sizes can vary between models and brands. Measure your waist and hips and compare with the guide for the specific model. If you are between two sizes, try both. Remember that the fabric can give a little, so a slightly snug new pair often becomes more comfortable.
The fabric and the stretch
Bamboo in clothing is viscose from bamboo, and the underwear often has a little elastane, which gives stretch. The fabric should give when you move and return afterwards. Check the label for the composition and pull the fabric lightly to feel how it behaves. Compare with JBS of Denmark.
Care that keeps the fit
Wash at a low temperature, ideally in a net, and skip the dryer and softener, which weaken the elastic. That way waistband and leg opening keep their shape longer. Rotate between several pairs. See also bamboo underpants for men if you want to compare several models.
When the fit changes
If they sit differently than when they were new, it is time to look closer. Perhaps the waistband is slack or the fabric has grown thin. Replace them when they no longer sit well, and buy one pair at a time until you know what suits you.
