Get out a tape measure, and actually measure yourself! I know people say to meausre your hips, but that's actually where the widest part of your bum/thoughs are, and when I measure there, I find that I tend to get saggy panties! lol I find that measuring where my hips bones are provides a better fit, YMMV. Regardless, by taking a measurement or two, you'll know what size you should get when picking up a new pair. And yes, even though things are listed in inches, there is vanity sizing in panties, too, so different brands will fit differently, in spite of being the same size. >_< And, please remember, there is no "you *should* be this size!" (According to fashion magazines, we should all be a size 0, after all...) You are how you are, and as long as you are healthy and happy with that, who cares what arbitrary number some label slaps on the clothes you wear?
