Plus Size Briefs – Fit Guide

Short answer: Plus size briefs should be chosen by fit, not just by the size label: good coverage, a soft waistband and a stretchy material such as bamboo viscose that follows the body without squeezing or cutting in.

What makes good plus size briefs?

The most important details are a wide, soft waistband, leg openings that do not cut in, and fabric with natural stretch. Bamboo viscose is stretchy and shape retaining at the same time, so the briefs follow the body without rolling or riding up. See the selection of bamboo briefs – many styles are available in large sizes.

Choose the right style

Maxi briefs and high waisted styles give you calm across the stomach, while hipsters spread the pressure over the hips. The guide find the right style of briefs goes through the differences, so you can choose according to your body shape.

Get the size right the first time

Sizes vary from brand to brand, so measure yourself instead of guessing. Use the size guide for bamboo clothing, and check the brand's own chart, for example the size guide for JBS of Denmark women. You will find the rest of the selection in bamboo underwear for women.

Frequently asked questions

Why do my briefs roll down over my stomach?

Most often because the elastic is too narrow or the size too small. Choose a high waisted style with a wide, soft waistband in the right size.

Are bamboo briefs good in large sizes?

Yes, the stretch and softness of bamboo viscose mean the briefs follow the body without squeezing, and the fabric keeps you dry and fresh at the same time.

Should I choose one size up?

Not automatically. Measure your hips and waist and compare with the brand's size chart – that gives a better fit than blindly going up a size.
