Vintage wisdom: How our grandmothers' surprising method can ensure the perfect underwear fit
Panties are a type of clothing item that, due to hygiene considerations, cannot be returned after purchase. Nobody wants to wear underwear that someone else has tried on. Therefore, it's often a challenge to determine if we are purchasing the right size. Our grandmothers, however, figured out a brilliant method that helps you choose the right underwear size without guesswork involved.

Why is returning underwear not allowed?
Underwear comes into contact with intimate body parts that are a breeding ground for numerous types of bacteria, including fecal bacteria. Because of this, returning underwear, particularly panties, is not an option. In most lingerie stores, trying on panties is not allowed. So, how do you make sure you're choosing the right size? This method works for both women and men alike.
Wrap the panties around your neck to check the fit
The '5-Minutes Crafts' service introduced a novel approach to determine if panties will fit without the need to try them on. Surprisingly, all you're required to do is wrap the panties around your neck. If the two ends don't meet, it suggests they're too small. Contrarily, if they overlap, they're likely too large.
"My mum taught me this trick, and to this day, I still use it", "I've been using this method for years; it works equally well when selecting trousers," we find such testimonials in the comments section of the posted video.
