Size Guide for Briefs

Short answer: Find your brief size by measuring your waist and hips and comparing with the brand's chart. The hip measurement matters most, because the brief has to follow the widest part of the hips without squeezing or cutting in.

How to Find Your Brief Size

Measure your waist at the narrowest point and your hips at the widest point. Look the measurements up in the chart for the brand you are considering, for example the size guide for JBS of Denmark women or the size guide for Boody women. If your waist and hips point to two different sizes, choose the one that fits your hips.

How a Brief Should Fit

A brief in bamboo viscose should lie smoothly against the skin without cutting in at the legs or the waist. The elastic should hold the brief in place without leaving red marks. The fabric is soft and stretchy, so it forgives more than cotton, but a wrong size will still make itself felt during the day.

The Style Matters as Much as the Size

Tai, hipster and maxi sit differently on the body, even in the same size. Read the guide to finding the right brief style, and see the full range of bamboo briefs. If you are generally unsure about sizes in bamboo clothing, the complete size guide will help.
