How to determine the sizes of men's boxer shorts using a table?

The main three sizing systems for men's underpants

Three systems have been developed, each of which uses its own specific standards and its own individual methodology for determining the size of underwear:

• International system: instead of numbers, letters are used - S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL and so on.
• European system: numbers from 1 to 10 and from 40 to 58 are used.
• Russian system: numbers from 42 to 60 are used.

The difficulty when purchasing arises in the fact that if you previously purchased a product from one manufacturer, you are now planning to make a purchase from another manufacturer, accordingly, the sizing system will also change, which means that the purchase may not be suitable.

When buying men's underwear, you need to know two things:

1. Waist circumference - use a special measuring tape to measure. The size is determined in the waistband area, at the location of the elastic in the product. If you do not measure your waist circumference, such products will either rub your lumbar region when worn or will not fit tightly.
2. Hip circumference - measurement is carried out using a measuring tape. If a man prefers to wear underwear that does not hug his hips, he needs to add one or two centimeters to the number obtained during measurement.

The size line of men's briefs depends on the manufacturer, but for the convenience of the buyer there is a uniform marking. The European size line uses the letters: “S” - small designation, “M” - medium designation, “L” - large designation, “XL” - very large designation, “XXL” - maximum designation.

Russian standards, to accurately determine the appropriate parameter of underwear, measure the circumference of the hips.

When purchasing European men's underwear, you need to compare your individual size with the European one. Typically, such a comparison table is printed by the manufacturer on the laundry packaging. You need to find the appropriate size and compare it with the letter of the international size.

How to determine size?

There are three possible ways:

1. Look at the numbers or letters on the label on comfortable, already tested, previously purchased underwear. But this option is not entirely reliable - since there are differences in the size scales of different brands and manufacturers.
2. Measure your waist and hips. A tight-fitting style of swimming trunks will require more accurate measurements, and for a loose family model, you will need to add 1-2 cm to the obtained parameters.
3. You can determine your swimsuit size using your own jeans. You need to find the size designation on the label above the back pocket or on the label near the inside pocket, such as: W36/ L32. To the number around W we add 18 and we get the Russian underwear size. In our example, 36+18=54. This means that our desired pant parameter is 54, and according to the international system it is XXL.

How to choose the right size for men's underwear

There are several methods for determining the correct size of men's underwear. You should check the label on your existing underwear and use the table to convert the parameters if the manufacturer is different.

Using a special measuring tape, the hips are measured at the most convex points on the buttocks, and the measuring tape is held parallel to the floor. Using the scale below, you can check the correctness of the parameters, taking into account the obtained measurement for the hip circumference:

• S: 97 cm,
• M: 102 cm,
• L: 105 cm,
• XL:109 cm,
• 2XL: 115 cm,
• 3XL: 121 cm.

The method for determining waist circumference is to apply a measuring tape to the elastic line, the main thing is that the tape does not move when measuring. The scale below checks your waist circumference:

• S: 73-79 cm,
• M: 79-87 cm,
• L: 87-95 cm,
• XL: 95-103 cm,
• 2XL: 103-110 cm,
• 3XL: 110-117 cm.

It is recommended to check the quality of the material used to produce men's underwear when purchasing. If the fabric does not stretch well, you need to purchase underwear one size larger.

Do the sizes of briefs, trunks and boxers always match?

Men should pay special attention to such an issue as matching the sizes of different models of underwear. From the previously mentioned models - briefs, swimming trunks and boxers, it becomes clear that the size chart of generally accepted standards is used in a single version for all models. When choosing sizes, a man should pay special attention to the fabrics of his underwear.

If the question arises of how to choose men's swimming trunks or briefs, here you need to look in the table for the column corresponding to the parameters without errors or additives. Such models have a tight-fitting style, so they are taken true to size. For example, with a hip volume of 110 cm, a man definitely needs size xl, that is, size 54. If a man prefers boxers, it is better to take size XXL (2xl) or size 56 so that the trunks fit freely without squeezing the intimate area. The largest size in the table is xxxl (3xl), which corresponds to Russian size 58.

Types of men's underpants

There are several types of men's underpants:

1. Boxers are one of the most common types of men's briefs. Boxers are made of soft fabrics with elastic elastic. This type is comfortable for everyday wear and great for sports. The underwear is comfortable, has a beautiful appearance, and does not harm men's health. When buying boxers, you need to pay attention to the fabric from which they are made. It is advisable to give preference to cotton, as it allows the body to breathe and thereby avoid overheating of the intimate area.
2. Briefs are an equally favorite type of men's underwear, often called swimming trunks. They are made from various types of fabric and in a variety of colors. But experts do not recommend wearing briefs often, as they are very tight, and this leads to compression of the male genital organs, which leads to disruption of blood flow to the ovaries. Also, swimming trunks are made mainly from synthetic material, which does not allow air to pass through well.
3. Tangas are typical for romantic men. They look simple - two pieces of triangular-shaped fabric sewn to an elastic band.

According to experts, underwear should not be very tight or very spacious. It should be true to size, comfortable and easy to move. Tight and tight underwear hinders movement and causes discomfort. Loose boxers or briefs gather under trousers and give a man a sloppy appearance. Therefore, the ability to determine the correct size plays an important role when making purchases, because we are talking not only about the appearance, but also about the health of a man. Therefore, factors such as height and body type need to be taken into account. Using the tables below, you can easily correctly determine the parameters of underwear.

Types of styles and tips for choosing

There are many styles of men's briefs. A popular variety is boxers. In the post-Soviet space they were called family cowards. Outwardly, they resemble shorts; they do not hug the body. Boxers have a narrow or wide elastic band, a fly with snaps, buttons, Velcro or no fly. The length varies up to the knee. Boxers go well with loose clothing, for overweight people and those who don’t like tight clothes. This model is undesirable for sports.

Another type of underwear is briefs. In Russia they are often called swimming trunks. Such panties fit tightly, fixing the genitals in a certain position. The briefs have a high rise, a codpiece, and maybe a fly. Modern models have a low waist.

Features of boxers and briefs combine trunks. They partially cover the legs, fit the body, and stretch well.
