The Perfect Fit: The Key to Confidence in Lingerie

Do you feel confident in lingerie?

For many women, wearing a sexy lingerie set can bolster their self-esteem and inspire confidence. But for some women, wearing lingerie makes them feel self-conscious, thinking lingerie isn’t designed with their bodies in mind.

If you’re in the latter group, you’re not alone.

Many of these issues stem from poor fit. It’s hard to be confident when your bustier is squeezing your body in unflattering ways or your panties keep riding up. If you want to feel like your best self in lingerie, proper fitting is key.

Unfortunately, many women aren’t taught how to navigate the confusing world of lingerie sizes. Even from a young age, women are left alone and must rely on trial and error to find the perfect fit. Even worse, women’s sizes aren’t consistent across brands—a 36C bra from one brand can fit completely different from a 36C in another—and varies widely across straight size and plus size lingerie. Not to mention the unhelpfulness of one-size undergarments, which offer little other guidance than descriptors like “curve” lingerie or “plus size” lingerie.

Here’s how to find your perfect fit, the key to feeling confident in lingerie.

How To Measure Your Body

Before you purchase lingerie, it’s important to know your measurements. You can be professionally measured at a lingerie store, but measuring yourself at home makes it easy to record your measurements and ensure that you can shop with a clear mind. All you need is a measuring tape.

Key measurements include:

●       Band size: the rib cage just below the bust.

●       Bust or cup size: the fullest part of your breasts.

●       Waist size: measured at the thinnest part of the waist, usually near the belly button.

●       Hips: the widest part of your hips.

With your measurements recorded, you will be able to better understand how lingerie should fit your body. You can compare them to our size guide, which will show you the best size for your body.

Keep in mind that sizes are different across brands, so always check the size guides before buying lingerie online.

Finding The Perfect Fit: Your Key to Confidence in Lingerie

Purchasing sexy lingerie according to your measurements can make a world of difference, but it’s still important to know if your undergarments are truly properly fitted.

Bras should fit snugly around the ribcage, without riding up or digging into your skin. The cups should cover your breasts in accordance to the style—for example, sheer lingerie may have less coverage than more supportive styles—without spillage or gapping.

Corsets, panties, and bodysuits should fit snugly, but shouldn’t fit so tight that they dig into your skin or restrict your movement.

Sexy Lingerie No Matter Your Size

As women, our bodies are in a constant state of change. Menopause, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and even the passage of time changes the way our bodies look and feel. It’s important that you measure yourself regularly and account for these changes.

Lingerie should make you feel confident from the inside out. Whether it’s a sexy sheer lingerie set or a flattering romantic curve lingerie look, ensuring that your garments are properly fitted to your body, you can feel confident in lingerie.
