💛 The Midies Fit Guide: Finding Your Perfect Pair
Hi — I’m Jody, the founder of Midies.
One of the most common questions we get is:
“What length is right for me?” or “Which style suits my body shape?”
And we get it — finding underwear that truly fits you can be confusing at first. That’s exactly why I started Midies — to make comfort and confidence easier to find..
🧵 Let’s Start with Sizing
Your waist measurement is the most accurate guide to choosing your size — but fit can vary depending on your body shape and personal preference.
Although we say your waist measurement is your most accurate guide, it can vary depending on your body shape and personal preference. Our bamboo fabric has stretch, and comfort is our focus — so it’s not uncommon to size down in some styles.
If you’re an apple shape, sizing down in a wide-waisted Smooth-Fit for a more fitted thigh won’t compromise comfort at the waist.
If you’re pear shaped, don’t default to sizing up — stay with your true size. The waistband is designed to hug softly without digging, and the stretch through the hips gives you that relaxed, stay-put fit.
📏 Finding Your Ideal Length
Here’s one of my biggest fit lessons:
Don’t be guided by your wardrobe — be guided by your body.
Length isn’t about size; it’s about shape.
A good rule of thumb is to choose a leg length that sits about 1 inch below where your thigh naturally tapers.
That’s the sweet spot for preventing ride-up and keeping the fabric smooth under clothes all day long.
So, if your thighs meet longer or you prefer more coverage, our longer lengths will likely feel best. If your thighs taper earlier, a mid-length might be your ideal balance of freedom and comfort.
👖 Understanding the Styles
Our Smooth-Fit range might look similar across styles, but each one is cut differently — for good reason.
Smooth-Fit
Sits mid-to-high on most bodies — high but not “boob-high” if you’re shorter. A comfortable, everyday rise.
Smooth-Fit High Rise
A true high rise, designed to sit higher on the waist and offer a gentle smoothing effect — perfect if you’re taller or like more hold.
Smooth-Fit Low Rise
Our lowest rise, made for mid-rise pants or anyone who prefers a hip-hugging fit.
Each style is crafted from the same breathable bamboo fabric you already love — just shaped differently to match how your body moves.
