Underwear Size Chart: Find the Perfect Fit

Imagine you're getting ready for the day. You roll out of bed and get ready for your morning shower. As you grab your clean clothes to change into for the day, you reach for your underwear drawer.

As you search for a comfortable pair, you realize the only clean boxer briefs available are either too tight, have lost their fit, or are tearing at the seams. Why do some pairs of underwear seem to fall apart so easily?

Today, let's talk about how to find underwear that supports you where you need it most. Then, we'll show you the best Mallary by Matthew underwear sets that make getting ready one step easier for yourself or your kiddos.

What Measurements Help Determine Your Perfect Fit? 

If you keep buying underwear for yourself or your child that ends up not fitting right, you might want to ask why. Maybe your kid keeps complaining that their underwear is too tight? It may be time to figure out if their measurements match the size you're buying for them.

Let's look at the measurements that can help determine a comfortable fit. 

Thigh Size Plays a Part 

Getting a good measurement for your thigh is a solid idea for finding a good fit. If you find that your thighs often feel restricted in your underwear, try to size up to ensure you have enough room for daily activities. 

Waistband Size is Most Important 

While thigh size can play a part in how your underwear feels on your body, your waistband measurement is even more essential to finding your perfect fit.

Instead of guessing your correct size, try measuring your waistband before purchasing a new set of boxer briefs. Doing this can help you find pairs that help you feel supported without any restriction.

What Underwear Characteristics are Essential for Comfort?

When you pick out underwear, which features are most important? You might have thought that purchasing from a particular high-end brand would guarantee you a proper fit. However, that's not always the case.

Let's discuss the characteristics you should prioritize in underwear.

Breathability 

Who wants their underwear to make them feel sweaty? If you live in a humid climate, breathability is especially crucial to staying cool and dry.

Opt for underwear sets that contain polyester, spandex, and cotton as their primary materials. These fabrics can help you to stay supported while remaining fresh and comfortable.

Stretch 

This feature might be one of the most important things to look for in your underwear. Pairs of underwear that have lost their stretch can be plain annoying. Don't keep old, worn-out briefs and boxer briefs around; look for an ultimate stretchiness in the next underwear set you buy. 

Tightness 

Briefs or boxer briefs that are too tight can sometimes cause problems. While you don't want seams to be too tight, you do want your underwear to be skin-tight and hug your body.

Try finding a size that fits your waistband perfectly while hugging your body. These will fit under your clothes the best while providing comfort. 

Biggest Issues With Sizing 

What are some of the issues people usually run into with sizing? Some of them might be apparent to you, but let's take a quick look. Then, we'll talk about how to get a proper measurement to find briefs and boxers for your family that fit perfectly. 

Your Boxers or Boxer Briefs are Sagging 

No one likes saggy underwear. When you realize mid-day that the briefs you put on in the morning have already lost their stretch, it can be frustrating to adjust them for comfort continually. 

Your Waistband Is Too Tight 

A too-tight waistband isn't just uncomfortable; it can be painful. When a waistband is too tight, one problem it can cause is skin irritation. As the band sits against your skin all day, you may realize that your skin begins to hurt. Another issue with a tight waistband is that you may feel that it inhibits your circulation slightly. 

The Material isn't Stretchy Enough 

Let's talk about your family. Does your kid wear briefs? They might be complaining about underwear that isn't stretchy enough around their thighs. Briefs that cut off circulation around the thigh can make sitting, running, and staying active unpleasant.

To avoid this, try going for underwear that provides more than enough stretch in every area.
