Finding the perfect pair of Brazilian knickers is all about balance: a cheeky cut, smooth lines, and a fit that feels like it was made for you. Get the size right, and they’ll flatter your shape, stay put, and feel comfortable all day. Here’s a simple guide to help you pick your ideal fit.

What should Brazilian knickers feel like?

Brazilian knickers should lie flat against your skin with no digging, gaping, or rolling. The waistband should sit comfortably at your hips or waist (depending on the rise), while the back should curve neatly across your cheeks to create that signature V-shape. You want a fit that moves with you—no pinching, no slipping, and no awkward readjustments.

• If the leg openings feel tight or you see deep marks after wearing, try a size up.

• If the fabric gathers, sags at the back, or the gusset shifts, consider a size down.

How do I pick the right size?

Sizing can vary between lingerie brands, so always check the size guide. At Lemonade Dolls, we use your hip measurement to find the best fit.

How to measure:

1. Stand straight with your feet together.

2. Wrap a soft tape measure around the fullest part of your hips and bum.

3. Match that number to the size on our chart.

Between sizes?

• Prefer a snug, sculpting feel: choose the smaller size.

• Want a bit more ease for everyday wear: go for the larger size.

Tip: Fabric matters. Stretch lace and microfibre often feel more forgiving, while cotton-rich styles may feel a touch firmer. If you’re between sizes, consider the fabric’s stretch.

What style works if you have a fuller tummy?

For extra comfort and a smoothing effect, look for Brazilian knickers with a mid- or high-rise waistband. These sit higher on the body to gently support your lower tummy without digging in. Fabrics like stretch lace, microfibre, and modal mould to your shape and sit flat under clothes, giving you a sleek line.

Style it: Pair with a matching bralette or soft-cup bra for an easy, coordinated set that feels as good as it looks.

How can I tell if my knickers are too big?

Knickers that are too large can ride up, twist, or wrinkle. If the waistband shifts when you move or the back won’t stay in place, you likely need a smaller size. A well-fitting Brazilian should stay put through your day—no constant tugging required.

Signs your knickers are too big:

• Excess fabric bunching at the back or sides

• Waistband slipping down

• Visible wrinkling under clothes

How can I tell if my knickers are too small?

If your knickers are too tight, you’ll notice digging at the waistband or leg openings, deep marks on the skin, or a flattened shape that doesn’t feel comfortable. You might also see the back cut in rather than curve smoothly across your cheeks.

Signs your knickers are too small:

• Pinching at the hips or thighs

• Fabric straining or pulling

• The back rides up immediately after you move

The bottom line

The right size Brazilian knickers should feel smooth, secure, and effortless. Check your hip measurement, choose a rise that suits your shape, and pick fabrics that match your day. Once you find your fit, you’ll get that sleek, cheeky look with comfort you can count on.

Pair your favourites with a matching bralette or soft-cup bra for a set that looks as good as it feels.
