What to know about our size guides

Short answer: Each brand has its own size guide, because the measurements are not the same. Use the guide belonging to the brand you are looking at, not a general one.

One guide per brand

Because there is no shared standard, each brand has its own guide. Use the one that matches the item. See guide to briefs and underwear.

Where to find them

The guides sit as separate pages and are linked from the product pages. See size guide JBS men and size guide Boody women.

Measurements rather than letters

The charts are in centimetres. That is the only thing comparable across brands. See bamboo underwear for women.

Measure a piece you own

The most reliable method is to measure something that fits and compare. See bamboo underwear for men.

Ask if in doubt

If you are unsure, ask before you order. See frequently asked questions.
