How to Measure
To find your perfect OddBalls size, follow these simple steps:
- Chest/Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape measure parallel to the ground. Wear a well-fitting bra (women) if taking this measurement. Keep the tape snug but not tight.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waistline (typically the narrowest part of your torso), just above your hip bones. The tape should sit comfortably without being pulled tight.
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks, keeping the tape measure parallel to the ground. Stand with your feet together for accuracy.
- Inseam (for pyjamas): For pyjama bottoms, measure from your inner thigh down to your ankle bone. Alternatively, measure from your crotch seam to the top of your shoe.
- Use a soft tape measure: Fabric tape measures are ideal. If using a rigid ruler, be extra careful to keep measurements straight and level.
- Measure in the morning: Bodies can swell during the day, so taking measurements in the morning provides the most accurate results.
- Wear minimal clothing: Remove bulky layers and measure over undergarments only. This gives you a true picture of your body measurements.
- Double-check your measurements: Ask a friend to help verify measurements, particularly for chest and hip circumferences, to ensure accuracy.

Fit & Fabric Information
Classic Fit: Our standard fit across boxer shorts and briefs provides a comfortable, not-too-tight silhouette that works for most body types. This is ideal for everyday wear and layering.
Loose-Fit Boxers: OddBalls loose-fit boxers offer extra room through the thigh and seat. Perfect if you prefer a relaxed feel or have a larger build, these provide all-day comfort without restriction.
Seamless Options: Our seamless ranges minimise visible panty lines and offer a smooth, second-skin feel. Available in women's briefs and thongs, these are brilliant under form-fitting clothing.
Bamboo & TENCEL™ Modal: For pyjamas and certain underwear styles, we offer eco-friendly bamboo and TENCEL™ Modal fabrics. These are naturally hypoallergenic, moisture-wicking, breathable, and incredibly soft — perfect for sensitive skin and hot sleepers.
Cotton Pyjamas: Our pure cotton pyjama range offers classic comfort and durability. Cotton is breathable, easy to care for, and perfect for everyday wear year-round.
Product-Specific Guidance
When choosing OddBalls underwear, your size should feel snug but not restrictive. The waistband should sit comfortably at your natural waistline without digging in or rolling down. Our bold prints and patterns look best when the garment fits properly — too loose and the design loses impact; too tight and you won't enjoy wearing it.
For those between sizes, consider your preference: if you like a snugger fit, opt for the smaller size; if you prefer more room, go up a size. Remember that our vibrant prints mean any wrinkles or bunching will be more visible, so getting the fit right is key to looking and feeling great.
OddBalls pyjamas are designed with a relaxed fit that allows freedom of movement during sleep. Choose your size based on your normal clothing size rather than sizing up. Our length measurements account for typical proportions, but if you're particularly tall or short, consider the inseam guide carefully. Remember that pyjama fabrics may shrink slightly with washing, particularly cotton styles — always follow care instructions to maintain your fit.
OddBalls socks are sized according to shoe size. Our crew socks and trainer socks are designed to fit snugly around the foot without bunching or slipping. If you're between sizes, choose based on your typical shoe fit. Remember that socks will soften and mould to your feet after a few washes, so an initial snug fit is ideal.
OddBalls bralettes offer lightweight support and are perfect for everyday comfort. Size according to your underbust measurement (band size) and choose a style that feels supportive without being restrictive. Bralettes work beautifully under casual tops, and our fun prints mean they're worth showing off!
Sizing Tips
- Always measure yourself: Body shapes vary significantly, and your measurements are far more reliable than your usual size label. Different brands fit differently, so measure whenever shopping online with a new retailer.
- Check the specific product description: Some OddBalls styles (particularly limited editions or collaborative designs) may have slightly different fits. Always read product details and customer reviews before purchasing.
- Account for fabric shrinkage: Our cotton ranges may shrink by up to 5% with hot washes. To preserve fit and print quality, wash in cold water and tumble dry on low or air dry. TENCEL™ Modal and bamboo fabrics offer excellent shape retention and are less prone to shrinking.
- Embrace the brightness: OddBalls' bold prints are designed to be statement pieces. If you're between sizes, choosing a slightly tighter fit ensures prints and patterns remain crisp and visible. Loose, bunched fabric can make even the boldest designs look dull.
- Consider the season: For pyjamas, think about your climate and bedding. Our cotton options are ideal for summer; TENCEL™ Modal provides temperature regulation; and thicker cotton is perfect for winter months. Where you feel the cold makes a difference to which fabric suits you best.
- Factor in activity level: Loose-fit boxers are brilliant if you move a lot or have a larger build; classic fit works well for everyday wear and layering. Consider how you'll be wearing the garment when deciding between options.
- Refer to our sizing charts repeatedly: If you're a loyal OddBalls customer, keep bookmarks to these charts. Consistency across the brand means once you've found your fit in one style, you'll know what to expect across the entire range.
- Take advantage of our customer service: Unsure about your size? OddBalls offers friendly, knowledgeable customer support. Contact the team via the website if you need guidance — they're happy to help you find the perfect fit before you buy.
