Hip Measurement Measure the fullest part of your hips, making sure the tape measure remains parallel to the floor. This is your hip measurement.

Take a quick look at our checklist to make sure you have the best fit possible. Natural fitting crotch A pantywear crotch should fit naturally against your body. There should be no excessive fabric in the front or back, and should definitely not be binding. If your panty has a front horizontal crotch seam, it should be visible from the front and not slip backwards. If it does, check to see that your panty isn't on backwards. Waistband is snug but not binding If your waistband keeps bunching up and rolling over in the front, you have the wrong size. Try a smaller size. The right size means your band stays in place and is comfortable. Legs are snug but not binding Panty legs should not be so tight that they cause grooves along your thighs. Leg openings should be evenly arched on both legs and the fabric should not be bunched or twisted. If you are still having trouble with binding legs, try a panty with a high cut leg style such as French cut. Buttocks is cupped Assuming you are not wearing a thong, the proper fit around the buttocks is balanced, symmetrical, covered and cupped. If not, you need a bigger size. Also, if some of your current panties are riding up, the elastic is probably shot and they need to be replaced. HerRoom Thoughts on Pantywear While our sizing guide is comprehensive, there will be variations between manufacturers. Experience or consultation of the manufacturers' sizing charts will provide the most accurate guide. Experience has taught us that our male customers prefer the lower riding panty cuts - fundamentally the V shaped man is built differently to the A shaped woman. The hips are probably the most important measurement for men. We've also found that they prefer the higher leg cuts to reduce chafing at the thighs. Consideration must be given to the amount of material in the front triangle of the panty, as some cuts are very scant in front. Whilst women need more material for back coverage, men need more in front.

The only disadvantage I can see would be what "some people" may think. So what if they do. I wish manufacturers would design and market men's underwear of similar fabrics and style with no uncomfortable seams in the crotch area. Many of us would be grateful."

I wear nothing else and found these to be a great purchase. The fabric is very smooth and feels wonderful on the skin and the sheer bands on the waist and legs hugs without binding.
