Quick answer
To choose the right size in a modal brief 4 pack, measure your waist and hips, compare them to the brand's size chart, and prioritize the hip measurement if you fall between sizes.
Why modal fabric changes your sizing
Modal fabric, like the Lenzing™ Modal used in the Classic Modal Full Brief 4 Pack, has a soft, semi-seamless stretch. This means it hugs your body without digging in, but it also means the fit can feel different from cotton briefs. Because modal has a bit more give, you might size down if you prefer a snug fit, but if you're between sizes, sizing up is safer to avoid the waistband rolling or the leg opening feeling too tight.
Know your measurements before you buy
The most reliable way to choose a size is to measure your waist and hips with a soft tape measure. Wrap it around the narrowest part of your waist and the fullest part of your hips. Keep the tape snug but not tight. Write these numbers down and compare them to the brand's size chart. If you don't have a tape measure, use a piece of string and a ruler.
Steps to find your size in a modal brief 4 pack
- Measure your waist and hips: Use a soft tape measure to get your waist (narrowest part) and hip (fullest part) measurements in inches or centimeters. Write them down. Double-check your measurements twice to avoid ordering the wrong size.
- Compare to the size chart: Find the brand's size chart and match your measurements. If your waist and hip fall into different sizes, choose the size that matches your hip measurement, as briefs need to fit around the hips without rolling. If you're between sizes, size up for the most comfortable fit.
- Consider the fabric stretch: Modal has a stretchy, semi-seamless construction. If you prefer a snug fit, you might choose your usual size, but if you like a looser feel, size up. Avoid sizing down too much, as it can cause the leg opening to dig in. When in doubt, choose comfort over a tight fit.
- Check the rise and leg cut: The Classic Modal Full Brief has a high waist and a lower cut leg opening. If you're used to mid-rise briefs, this style may feel different. Check the product description for the rise and leg cut to ensure it matches your preference. If you prefer a higher leg opening, consider a different style like a bikini brief.
- Test the waistband: The thin, soft waistband is designed to sit at the natural waist without digging in. When you try on the briefs, ensure the waistband lies flat and doesn't roll. If it rolls, you may need a larger size. A rolling waistband is a sign the size is too small.
