Finding Your Perfect Fit: A Simple Guide to Panty Sizing

Getting the right fit shouldn’t feel complicated—it should feel comfortable from the very first wear. At Teri Lingerie, we design with real women in mind, which means ease, softness, and flexibility are built into every piece. To help you find your most comfortable fit, we recommend starting with one key measurement: your hips.

Because panties are designed with elastic at the waist, they naturally allow for stretch and movement in that area. That flexibility makes the hip measurement the most reliable indicator of size and the best place to begin when choosing your fit.

Take, for example, the size chart below. While it includes a recommended waist measurement, the waistband is designed to stretch significantly beyond that range. Starting with the hip measurement ensures the garment fits comfortably through the body, where proper alignment matters most for all-day wear.

If you’re unsure about how much stretch to expect at the waist—or if you find yourself between sizes—we’re here to help. Simply email us at tlc@terilingerie.com  to request the extended waist measurement for any specific style. This additional detail can give you a clearer sense of fit and help you choose with confidence.

Because at the end of the day, the best fit is the one you don’t have to think about.
