How to Choose the Right Lingerie Size
The Sizing Guide
For Men Who Don’t Miss
This isn’t guesswork. It’s groundwork.
You’re not just picking a size. You’re setting the tone. Because when the fit’s right, the message is clear: you know what you’re doing.
This guide is for the man who doesn’t outsource intuition. Who pays attention. Who knows the details matter even if she doesn’t think you noticed.
Let’s keep it simple. No fluff. No flattery. Just what you need to get it right.
1. Check What She Already Owns
Open her drawer. Check the labels. Easy.
-
Bra: Look for something like 34C, 36D, etc. That’s band + cup. Write it down.
-
Panties: Usually S, M, L, or number sizes (6, 8, 10). Don’t overthink it.
If the stuff you find looks worn-in and well-loved, those are her go-tos. That’s your best intel.
If you can't check? Keep reading.
2. Measure (Without Making It Weird)
If you’re in a place where you can measure her, do it right.
-
Bust: Around the fullest part of her chest.
-
Underbust: Just below the breasts, snug but not tight.
-
Waist: Smallest part of her torso (usually above the belly button).
-
Hips: Widest part across the butt.
Use inches. Keep the tape level. Don’t pull too tight. Don’t announce the numbers. Just take note.
3. Size Translation (Read This Like a Map)
Now that you have her numbers (or her current sizes), match them to the chart:
Spike Size Chart (Standard US Sizing)
Size | Bust (in) | Waist (in) | Hips (in) |
---|---|---|---|
S | 32-34 | 24-26 | 34-36 |
M | 34-36 | 27-29 | 37-39 |
L | 36-38 | 30-32 | 40-42 |
XL | 38-40 | 33-35 | 43-45 |
For bras, band = underbust. Cup = the difference between bust and band. 1 inch = A cup. 2 = B. 3 = C. You get it.
Buying something like a corset or teddy? Bust + waist are your guide. Buying panties? Hip wins.
4. If You’re Stuck Between Two Sizes
Spike Rule: If you're not sure, size up.
-
Slightly loose = elegant, easy, adjustable.
-
Too tight = kills the vibe. Nothing sexy about discomfort.
Lingerie with straps, ties, or stretch can always be tightened. Can’t fake extra fabric.
5. "One Size" Isn’t a Gamble
When we say "One Size," it means it stretches to fit most S to L bodies. Queen Size = XL+. Still need specifics? The chart tells you what range it covers.
Don’t guess. Look.
6. Still Off? Fix It Fast
Sometimes you’ll miss. That’s fine. We don’t make it awkward. Exchanges are easy. Returns are discreet.
But let’s be honest, if you followed this guide you probably won’t need either.
Final Word
She’s not going to remember the label. She’ll remember the fit. And the fact that you got it right.
That’s the move.
Now pick the piece and lock it in.
