How to Measure for the Correct Size

High & Mid Waist Brief goUnders are a fitted underwear (they stretch to fit firmly but comfortably onto your body). For this reason our sizing may be different to your normal underwear size… so please measure.

To get the right size you need to know your waist & hip measurements.

WAIST MEASUREMENT 

Find the natural crease line of your waist.

Stand straight with your hands at the side.  Bend sideways running the hand down the outside surface of the leg.  This movement will produce a crease at the waist

Return to standing and wrap the measuring tape horizontally around your body at this crease line.

HIP MEASUREMENT

Measure approximately 18cm down from the waist

From where you took your waist measurement let the measuring tape hang down the length of your body.

At 18cm down wrap the tape horizontally around your body.

Tips for Measuring

  • Use a flexible measuring tape (if you don’t have a measuring tape use string and then lay the string along a ruler to find your measurement).
  • For an accurate measurement
    • the measuring tape should sit snug next to your skin.
    • do not measure over bulky clothing.
    • make sure the tape is level around your body… to achieve this, get help or measure in front of a mirror.

Common Questions

I measure between sizes.

We would recommend the larger size. The fabric of goUnders provides a good amount of stretch and compression. The larger size will be more comfortable to wear and still provide the firmness needed to hold the padding (chamois) in place. 

My hip & waist measurements are different sizes.

goUnders are designed to be a firm fit so we would suggest going with the larger of the two sizes you measure at, especially if the larger size is your waist measurement.
