Shopping for the right underwear, believe it or not, is not as simple as it seems.
People may overlook it, but in actually, feeling comfortable from the inside out is a big deal.
We have gathered some of the best must-knows when you're undergarment shopping, and here it is.
1. Don't trust sizes
Looking for sizing on underwear may not be the best way to go about it. Instead look for digging, slipping or marks. If there's any, that is not your perfect underwear.
2. Revisit sizes
Your body changes with time, so make sure you know yourself well enough. If you want it snug, size down, if you like it comfortable, size up.
3. Being able to breathe is key
Opt for lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics especially if you're in humid climates. Avoid thick lace or polyester-heavy materials.
4. Have ample
The ideal range of underwears is 10-20 pairs, and you're to replace them out between 6 months to a year, or when they become worn out.
5. Extra tips
Don't size down, because it causes bulges and discomfort. Instead, choose compression based on comfort. Light (daily wear), medium (events/fitted outfits), high (max shaping that shouldn't feel suffocating).
