Nowadays, manufacturers provide a huge selection of models of women's panties: thongs, slips, shorts, hipsters. Not a single woman can live without them. They have become not only one of the elements of an intimate wardrobe. They are chosen to suit the mood and occasion. In order not to get confused when choosing panties, a woman needs to clearly and correctly know her size.
We often think that we need clothes that are smaller than we actually are. Buying underwear in such a situation can end in trouble. Incorrectly chosen panties that are too small will rub the skin and leave marks on the thighs. They can also highlight some of your body flaws. To avoid finding yourself in such a situation, you need to be able to correctly determine the size of your underwear.
Data you will need
You will need to measure yourself at the narrowest point of the body (at the waist) and hips at the most convex points on the buttocks.
IMPORTANT! To make the data more accurate, it is necessary to take measurements in clothes made of thin, tight-fitting fabric, or even better, leaving only underwear. Measurements are taken in the morning on an empty stomach.
There is no need to pull in your stomach. Bring your legs together and stand straight. The measuring tape should not sag, but there is no need to tighten it too much. It should fit more tightly to the body, clearly following its contours.
