Have you ever been confused by all the different types of women underwear?  Maybe you'd like to purchase some undies for your girlfriend, wife, sister or even your mother and have been stopped in your tracks by all the different styles?  How do you sort out the difference between a bikini, thong, hipster, or brief - not to mention, hi-cut briefs, string bikini, boyshorts and all the rest?  I hope this guide will help!

And what about sizes?  What does a 5, 6,7, or 8 mean?  How in the world do they relate to the size of clothing my lady wears?

And then there fabrics - women's underwear comes in a multitude of choices.

And last but not least - did you know that a women will select not only the color but the style of underwear (See Paragraph 1) she wears based on what pants or skirt she plans to wear - how can it be so complicated!!

I hope this guide will help!

Sizes

Lets talk sizes first!  If a women wears a 4-6 size pants, she will wear a size 5 or Small underwear.  If she wears an 8 or 10 then she will wear a size 6 or Medium.  If she wears a size 10 or 12, then the size is 7 or Large.  You get the picture - sizes go all the way up to 13 for big beautiful women.  XL is equivalent to size 8, XXL is a 9, XXXL is a 10.  Got it?

A word of caution here - there can be alot of variation in sizing for undies - just like in all women's clothing.  Name Brands will provide you with the most consistent and true sizing.  Some popular quality name brands would be:  Calvin Klein, Liz Claiborne, Maidenform, Jockey, Bali, Delta Burke, DKNY and Rene Rofe plus many others!  

Brands Matter

Some women become partial to a particular brand of panties because of the fit.  The best way to know is to sneek into your ladies underwear drawer and check out if there is a consistent brand and size.  Let's face it - you've always wanted a legitimate reason to go there!!  Look for undies with labels and take note of what you see.  Make sure its a pair that she's worn recently - you don't want to risk purchasing a size that's not right!
