WHAT’S MY SIZE?
MEN’S SIZE GUIDE
To work effectively, it’s important that your underwear fits snugly. We strongly advise that you measure yourself before ordering, rather than just guessing. Our sizing categories (S, XL etc) are based on the same international standards as Calvin Klein underwear and can be used as a general guide, but actual measurements are more likely to result in the perfect fit. Many of our new customers like to buy one pair to trial in the privacy of their home, then once they know they’ve got the right size and absorbency they come back to buy multiple pairs.
Measure around your waist, keeping tape parallel with the floor, then consult our chart.

WHAT’S MY SIZE?
WOMEN’S SIZE GUIDE
To work effectively, it’s important that your underwear fits snugly. Although our briefs are made from a forgiving stretch fabric to offer sizing flexibility, we strongly advise that you measure yourself before ordering, rather than just guessing. Our sizing categories (S, XL etc) are based on international standards and can be used as a general guide, but actual measurements
are more likely to result in the perfect fit. Many of our new customers like to buy one pair to trial in the privacy of their home, then once they know they’ve got the right size and absorbency they come back to buy multiple pairs.
Measure around the widest part of your hips and buttocks, keeping tape parallel with the floor, then consult our chart.

Which absorbency is right for me?
ABSORBENCY GUIDE
Our Everyday Absorbency underwear offer light protection against minor drips and dribbles throughout the day, for example when you sneeze, cough or lift something heavy. For women they are perfect on light period days.
Our Extra Absorbency underwear offer superior protection when you need a little more reassurance – recommended for moderate
bladder leakage
or, for women, on
heavy period
days.
If you have little or no
bladder control
, we’re sorry our underwear will not meet your needs.
To provide transparency and guidance in a largely unregulated industry characterised by unsubstantiated absorbency claims, we commissioned leading international standards company UL Laboratories to subject our products and competitor products to stringent testing. See below for comparative absorbency charts or read our blog for the full results.
HOW DO WE MEASURE UP?
Wondering how our underwear compare to disposable products? We commissioned independent standards testing laboratory UL* to test them against leading single-use paper products. Here's where they fit on a scale of absorbency.
* The following is a graphic depiction of comparative results based on UL Laboratories testing of Confitex and selected leading brands of single-use absorbent liners and pads undertaken January-April 2020.

How do I look after my Confitex?
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Our absorbent underwear can be hand or machine washed just like your ordinary underwear – and unlike most other brands their plastic-free composition means that, if you don’t have the time or inclination to hang them on the line, you can safely throw them in the tumble dryer. They can also be dried in an airing closet or on an indoor drying rack. They will take a little longer than ordinary underwear to dry – about the same as a pair of thick cotton sports socks.
Wash and dry before use to activate full absorbency. Rinse or soak after use then place in the free wash bag they were delivered in and wash on delicate cycle below 40°C/105°F. Do not bleach. Do not add fabric conditioner. Remove from wash bag and dry away from direct sunlight or tumble dry on low heat. Do not dry clean.
