Find your perfect fit with Bumboo

We’re here to make sure your Bumboo undies feel just right — comfy, flattering and made to move with you. Getting the best fit starts with knowing your measurements, and we’re here to walk you through it, step-by-step.

Start with the real you
To get the most accurate fit, we recommend measuring your actual body rather than over clothes. Grab a tape measure and take it slow – this is your moment.

Waist:
Wrap the tape around your natural waistline – that’s the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above your belly button. Keep it snug but not tight.

Hips:
Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and bum. This is the widest part, so don’t be shy – we want to embrace those curves and find that true-to-you fit!

Now, compare your measurements with our size chart.

Sometimes your waist and hips may sit across two sizes – that’s totally normal! For example, if your waist is 26 inches (a Small) and your hips are 38 inches (a Medium), we’d suggest:

  • Size S for a firmer, snugger fit
  • Size M for a more relaxed feel

Pick based on what makes you feel best – whether you like your knickers to hug or a more gentle-level of support.

A little extra fit advice from us:

  • Between sizes?
    Size up in our Basic bikini and Thongs if you’ve got a curvier figure.
    Size down in our High Rise styles if you’re on the smaller side.
  • Size XL or above?
    Our fabric has amazing stretch and softness – in sizes XL and up, we recommend sizing down for the perfect hold.

Still unsure? Don’t stress! Our team is always here to help you find your Bumboo panty paradise!
