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.

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 leakproof absorbent products can be hand or machine washed just like your ordinary laundry – and if you don’t have the time or inclination to hang them on the washing line you can safely pop them in the tumble dryer instead without impacting their leakproof performance (the plastic layer in other brands tends to shrink and warp in the dryer, leading to leaks). They can also be dried in an airing closet or on an indoor drying rack or heated towel rail. They’ll take about the same amount of time to dry as a pair of thick sports socks. Turn underwear inside out before washing and drying.
Wash and dry before use to activate fibres for full absorbency. Rinse after use then wash on delicate cycle below 40°C/105°F, or hand wash separately if you prefer. Do not bleach, do not use fabric conditioner, do not dry clean. Dry away from direct sunlight or tumble dry on low heat. For further instructions see our FAQs.
