Underwear fit must never be a tale of 2 extremes (too tight or too loose). What you’re looking for is that sweet spot, when a pair enables comfort and movement but still gives you all the coverage and offer you desire.
When underwear fits and proper, in most cases it ought to feel like you’re wearing nothing at all. They should lie smoothly under the clothes and the waistband should be flat toward your skin. Remembering this, you shouldn’t be sizing up or down, but rather attemp to looking for the pair that feels like a second skin.
Most importantly, your journey to nailing that perfect fit starts at the waist. I recommend using a tape measure to measure your natural waist, narrowest point between the bottom of the rib cage and the pelvis located just above the hip bone.
On the other hand, measuring the widest part of the hips is a key to determining what size will be the most comfortable for your body.
Apply these measurements as the foundation for the search, and be sure to discuss all of the available sizing info to nail the perfect fit.

Underwear at night
Most experts are supporter of sleeping in completely the nude — as long as you’re comfortable in the birthday suit. Though it’s a matter of personal preference, from the perspective of breathing and airing things out, you should sleep without underwear. For female who are going through menopause, going underwear-less may make even more sense. The more you wear, the more you have to take off when you get night sweats. Nobody wants to linger in cold, wet panties once a hot flash passes.
Size matters — and not just because you don’t desire panty lines. Tight-fitting undergarments can maintain your lady bits hot and sweaty, and not in a proper way, but more along the irritation- and infection-promoting lines. In some female, snug underwear can cause sign and symptoms of a painful condition called vulvodynia (so can inserting a tampon and having sex). If the underwear is too tight or too small, the chances of vaginal and vulvar irritation increases. So, too, does the capability of bacteria to multiply if there isn’t enough opportunity for aeration.
