No more guessing games, no more awkward bunching or pinching — just pure, unadulterated comfort and style that makes you want to strut your stuff.
You Should Know
Before diving into the nitty-gritty of measurements and styles, here are the three most important facts to keep in mind when shopping for your next pair of Shinesty underwear:
- Size charts are your best friend: Every body is unique, and so is every brand’s sizing. Always check Shinesty’s specific size chart before you buy to ensure a perfect fit that hugs your curves just right.
- Fabric matters: Our underwear is crafted from silky-soft, high-quality materials like micro-modal that stretch and breathe with you. This means your size might feel a little different compared to cotton or lace, so trust the feel and fit over the number alone.
- Style impacts fit: Thongs, cheekies, bikinis, and boyshorts all sit differently on your hips and booty. Knowing your preferred style helps you pick the right size and cut that flatters your shape and keeps you comfy all day long.
How to Measure Yourself for the Perfect Fit
Getting your measurements right is the golden ticket to underwear nirvana. Grab a soft measuring tape, stand in front of a mirror, and let’s get down to business.
Waist Measurement
Wrap the tape measure around the narrowest part of your waist — usually just above your belly button. Keep it snug but not tight. This measurement helps determine the waistband size of your underwear, ensuring it sits comfortably without digging in or sliding down.
Hip Measurement
Next, measure around the fullest part of your hips and booty. This is crucial because it tells you how much stretch and coverage you’ll need. Different styles will hug your hips differently, so knowing this number helps you pick the right cut.
Understanding Size Charts
Once you have your waist and hip measurements, compare them to Shinesty’s size chart. Our charts are designed to accommodate a range of body types, so if you’re between sizes, consider the style you want and how you like your underwear to fit — snug or a little loose.
Choosing the Right Style for Your Body and Mood
At Shinesty, we believe underwear should be as versatile as your personality. Whether you’re feeling bold, playful, or downright sexy, there’s a style that fits your vibe and your body perfectly.
Thongs: The Barely-There Wonder
Thongs are perfect for those who want zero panty lines and maximum confidence. They sit low on the hips and offer minimal coverage, so sizing is key to avoid any pinching or riding up. Our micro-modal fabric ensures softness that keeps you comfortable all day.
Cheekies: Flirty and Fun
Cheekies strike the perfect balance between coverage and allure. They show off just enough booty while providing a secure fit. If you love a playful look with a comfy feel, cheekies are your go-to.
Bikinis and Boyshorts: Classic Comfort
Bikinis offer moderate coverage with a flattering cut that suits most body types. Boyshorts provide full coverage and a sporty vibe, perfect for lounging or active days. Both styles are designed with stretch and softness in mind, so pick your size based on your hip measurement for the best fit.
Fabric and Care Tips for Long-Lasting Comfort
Our underwear isn’t just about looking good — it’s about feeling amazing every time you slip them on. That’s why we use premium fabrics like micro-modal, which is silky, breathable, and gentle on your skin.
Why Micro-Modal Rocks
Micro-modal is a game-changer in the underwear world. It’s softer than cotton, wicks moisture away, and stretches without losing shape. This means your Shinesty underwear will hug your curves perfectly and stay comfy through all your adventures.
Washing and Care
To keep your underwear looking fresh and feeling fabulous, wash them in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and air dry whenever possible. This care routine preserves the fabric’s softness and elasticity, so your underwear lasts longer and stays as bold as you are.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I’m between sizes? Should I size up or down?
If your measurements fall between two sizes on our chart, consider the style and your comfort preference. For snug styles like thongs, sizing up can prevent pinching. For more coverage styles like boyshorts, sizing down might give a better fit. When in doubt, reach out to our customer service for personalized advice.
