Welcome to Susans! There is always some trial and error with sizing, we have some good info in the wiki section. Best of luck and have fun! Hugs, Devlyn

I have always done the trial and error process and have changed from a size 5 to a size 6. I have always like full cut nylon briefs and lace is a plus. Good luck.

I work in a clothing store where we sell panties and my best advice would be to measure your hips and add an inch to two if your not tapeing. That will give you the most realitive size when looking on a label. From there you can transfer your knowledge of what size you are to a small, medium, large, etc but it will vary by who makes it. It will usually be best to ask someone or view a sizing chart if you know your size, and hip width. Hope that helps and happy shopping!

I can say from experience that Victoria's Secret panties seem to run a bit large...

Trial and error there has taken me from M... S... XS.

If you buy online and have measurements , you should not have alot of problems.  I like to get  a tight fit as it helps with tucking.

I used to wear xxl before losing 37 pounds. Now I'll have to the trial and error route again.

In the library here at Susan's I remember seeing an article about clothing sizes...that's where I got my size recommendation...right on target.

I usually by size 12-14 or 14-16 depending on whether I buy from Coles, Woolworths, Big W, Target or Kmart stores in australia lol
