A Guide to Panty Sizes

Please use your back button to return.

We can supply Panties in either our choice of Standard Sizes or to measurements that you have selected.

Please remember to measure yourself over what every other garments, nappies or disposables you wish to wear under your choice of panties. If that is not possible then add 4" (10cm) to both your normal Hip and Depth (Front-to-Back) measurements to allow for a single terry towelling nappy or a nappy knicker.

Please take the time to read the information following the size chart carefully.

What the above terms mean
Nominal Waist
If you know any of your measurements you probably know your waist size so all our panties can be purchesed in a range of standard waist sizes but it is only a rough guide as it is following three measurements that determine the fit of your panties and it is much better if you can check these three measurements. It is not difficult and all you need is a tape measure. 
You may have noticed that the waist size ranges overlap and you have a choice of sizes that might fit you. In most cases it is better to choice the larger size unless you really want a tight fit. This is particularly true if your waist is more than two inches (five cm) smaller than your hips as (unless you check the hip size is adequate) the smaller choice might not fit over your hips.
Maximum Hip
This is the maximum hip size that the garment will fit over. All panties have an elasticated waist so they will fit waist sizes up to the hip size. If your hip size (measured over your choice of nappy if applicable)  is larger than the Maximum Hip size you will not be able to pull the panties up over your hips so you must select a larger size.
Maximum Thigh
Having selected a standard size based on your hip size you need to consider your thigh size.
The Maximum Thigh size is the largest thigh that the garment will fit over. Panties have elasticated  legs but will not stretch to much more than this size without the risk of tearing. You need to measure around the top of your thigh around the line where the elasticated thigh opening should fit.
Depth
(Front-to-Back)
This measurement determines where the waist of your panties will fit. Selecting a larger size will give you greater depth and allow for either a higher waist or for thicker layers of nappies and soakers to be worn.
