How To Measure

Remember to keep an upright position when taking your measurements. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart, do not bring them together. This way, we obtain the measurements that best suit the body's natural posture.

Shifting the tape measure, pulling it too tightly, or leaving it too loose while taking measurements may also cause incorrect results.

Follow this handy guide on how to take your measurements.

Stand up and find a tape measure. Don’t have one? A piece of string or ribbon will do, you can measure the length with a ruler. Make sure you are wearing the underwear you intend to wear with your garment and go stand in front of a mirror.
