Choosing the right size / style
The difference in the Youth / Teen / Adult version and style SOS briefs is mainly in the rise (crotch depth), which dictates how high the garment sits at the waistline. Measuring instructions:
- Measure your hip and waist and use the larger of those 2 measurements to choose the correct size.
- Once you determine size, choose between Adult and Youth Styles.
- The Youth is shorter through the rise, and sits lower on the waistline.
- Those with a significantly shorter rise than indicated on the chart may prefer Youth or Child styles.
For Teens and Children with waist/hip measurement less than 36”, review the versus the Adult & Youth Size charts to decide which is best.

Should you choose an Adult or Youth size?
Adult and Youth briefs share the same waist/hip size range. The Youth is shorter through the rise, which is preferable for persons of shorter stature or anyone wishing the garment to fit lower on the waistline.
We recommend that you measure your rise - see the picture - to determine the style that most closely matches, or that suits your preference for where the garment sits - on or below the waistline.
To Measure Rise
begin about 1 inch below the belly button, measure down through legs, and up to the position on the back that matches the starting position on the front. Then, based on the larger of waist/hip measurement, choose the style that comes closest to your own rise measurement.
NOTE: For ease in dressing, we recommend closing one leg before slipping it over the first leg. Then adjust the Velcro for the 2nd leg. Lastly, re-adjust the first closure to get best fit.
