What size am I in Flissie?

The basics

Flissie boxers are sized to UK standard women's sizes from UK 8 to UK 30, in both 6" and 9" inseam lengths. The fit sits close to the skin without compressing — bamboo viscose has natural stretch and recovery, so the boxers move with you and stay in place.

Between sizes? Size up.

Flissie boxers rely on full skin contact to glide rather than friction-bunch. Sizing down compromises the anti-chafing function — most between-size customers say the smaller size never quite stops feeling tight.

Quick hip-to-size guide

UK size Letter Hip (cm)
UK 8–10S86–91 cm
UK 12–14M94–101 cm

UK 28–30XXXL134–141 cm

The full size chart with waist and hip measurements is on our size guide page.

Switching from another brand?

From Boody, Step One, or M&S: Flissie runs true to UK size. Take your normal UK size.

From TomboyX, Knix, or other US brands: convert to UK first — US sizing typically runs one to two sizes smaller in numeric labelling.

6" vs 9" — does length affect size?

No. Both inseams share the same waist sizing — pick by leg-length preference, not size.

Soft enough that you forget you're wearing them

77% mention comfort
41% mention how soft they are

Of 351 verified reviews. Those are the two things customers say over and over, usually in the same sentence.

95% Tanboocel bamboo viscose with 5% elastane. Soft from the first wear rather than needing breaking in, breathable, and it moves moisture rather than holding it against you. Smooth seams, no tag.

It feels like these boxers were made to fit my body! So comfy, the waistband doesn't dig in, soft and fitting fabric that doesn't roll up. Wish I'd found them sooner, definitely will buy more!!

I love hot weather undies and these are the softest I've tried. So comfortable I hardly know I'm wearing them, brilliant!

Who Flissie women's bamboo boxer briefs are made for

Best for anti-chafing

The 6" inseam covers the inner thigh past the point where most chafing happens, and bamboo viscose creates a smooth, low-friction surface that lets thighs slide rather than catch. Reviewers consistently report doing long walks, festivals, half-marathons and long summer days chafe-free for the first time in years.

Best for hot weather

Bamboo viscose is breathable and temperature-regulating, so it moves moisture rather than holding it against the skin. It is what customers mention most after comfort and softness on warm days.

Best for postpartum recovery

Soft, non-digging waistbands sit comfortably above or below a C-section scar. The wide gusset and longer leg lengths reduce friction during a recovery period when movement matters. Many of our customers wear Flissie throughout pregnancy and the months after birth, when comfort matters most.

Bamboo, cotton or synthetic: what the fabric actually changes

The fabric of your underwear sits against your skin all day. It decides whether you chafe, sweat, itch, or simply forget you're wearing anything. Here is an honest breakdown, including the two things cotton does better.

Feature Flissie bamboo Cotton Synthetic
Anti-chafing coverage 6" or 9" leg covers the inner thigh Briefs leave thighs exposed Only if the leg is long enough
Soft from the first wear Soft immediately, no breaking in Moderate, softens over time Can feel slick or plasticky
Moisture handling Moves moisture rather than holding it Absorbs it, then stays damp Wicks fast but traps heat
Temperature regulation Cool in heat, warm in cold Neutral, no active regulation Heats up against the skin
Waistband Wide band, designed not to dig Depends on the brand Tight bands can mark the skin
Tested for harmful substances Dyed to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Varies by brand and dye Varies by brand and dye
Easy to wash Cool wash, no softener, air dry Forgiving. Hot wash, tumble dry, fine Durable in the wash, dries fast
Price per pair £20, or about £13 in a 7 pack From around £3 in a multipack From around £4 in a multipack

Good Mixed Poor

What each fabric is actually good at

Bamboo viscose is a regenerated cellulose fibre made from bamboo pulp. It is soft from the first wear, breathable, and temperature-regulating. Ours is Tanboocel, made in a closed-loop process where the solvent used to extract the fibre is recovered and reused rather than discharged, and without carbon disulfide. It is the same family as Lyocell and Modal. The trade-off is that it needs looking after: cool wash, no fabric softener, air dry.

Cotton is breathable, cheap and by far the most forgiving in the wash. Its weakness is that it absorbs moisture and holds onto it, which is why it feels damp after you sweat. For everyday wear in cool weather, a well-made cotton pair is a perfectly sensible choice, and it is what most gynaecological guidance still points to.

Synthetic blends dry fastest and last longest in the wash, which is why they dominate sportswear. They trap heat, they hold onto odour more than natural fibres, and they shed microplastics with every wash.

Frequently asked questions

Product & fabric

What are Flissie boxers made of?

95% Tanboocel bamboo viscose and 5% elastane. Tanboocel is a closed-loop bamboo viscose where the chemicals used to process the fibre are recovered and reused. The fabric feels closer to silk than cotton — soft, breathable, naturally temperature-regulating, and gentle on sensitive skin.

What's the difference between the 6" and 9" inseam?

The 6" sits roughly mid-thigh — great under skirts, dresses, gym shorts, or for anyone who finds longer leg lengths too warm. The 9" extends to about an inch above the knee — the right choice for anti-chafing on long walks, runs, festivals, hot weather, or under flowing dresses.

Will they roll up my thighs like other boxer shorts?

No — and this is the single most common review comment from women who've tried other brands first. Flissie boxers use a specific leg-band tension and bamboo viscose's natural cling to stay in place. If you've had Boody, Step One, or M&S boxers roll up before, this is the design difference you'll feel immediately.

Will they show under leggings or fitted dresses?

No visible panty line. Flissie boxers are designed without a hem ridge, and the boyleg cut means no waistband indent either. For the smoothest finish under fitted fabrics, the 6" inseam in a nude shade is most invisible; the 9" works best under skirts and dresses where leg length isn't an issue.

Fit & sizing

What size should I order if I'm between sizes?

When you're between sizes, size up. Flissie boxers need full skin contact to glide rather than friction-bunch — going down a size compromises the anti-chafing function. Most between-size customers say the larger size feels exactly right after one wear.

How do free size swaps work?

If the size isn't right, we'll swap pairs for a different size, free of charge, within 60 days of purchase. Just email hello@flissie.com with your order number and which size you'd like. We usually respond within three working days. Worn pairs can't be swapped for health and hygiene reasons but we'll replace your whole order — so try one pair first before opening the rest.

Use cases

Are these good for menopause and night sweats?

Yes — bamboo viscose's moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating properties make Flissie one of the most-recommended options for perimenopausal and menopausal women. The fabric pulls heat and sweat away during hot flushes and night sweats. Many customers buy the 9" for sleep and the 6" for daytime.

Are they suitable for postpartum recovery?

Many customers find Flissie more comfortable than traditional postpartum pants — the soft, non-digging waistband sits above or below a C-section scar, the gusset is wide and gentle, and the longer leg lengths reduce chafing during recovery. They're not designed as surgical garments.

Are Flissie boxers OK for sensitive skin or eczema?

Bamboo viscose is naturally hypoallergenic and antimicrobial, and Flissie is dyed using OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified processes. Customers with eczema, allergic dermatitis and post-treatment sensitivity routinely report Flissie as the only underwear they can wear without flare-ups.

Shipping & delivery

Is delivery free?

Yes — every UK order ships free, no minimum spend. International orders ship free on 7-packs; smaller orders to international addresses have a standard shipping fee added at checkout.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes — we ship worldwide. 7-pack orders ship internationally free of charge. For smaller pack sizes, shipping is calculated at checkout based on destination. Import duties or taxes (if applicable in your country) are the recipient's responsibility.

Will my order arrive in discreet packaging?

Yes. Flissie orders arrive in a plain, unbranded sugarcane mailing bag with no mention of the product on the outside. Inside, each pair is individually wrapped in compostable corn starch packaging. Nothing about the parcel signals what's inside.

Packaging & sustainability

What packaging do Flissie boxers come in?

Every pair is individually wrapped in compostable corn starch (PLA) packaging, and orders ship in fully recyclable, carbon-neutral sugarcane mailing bags. No plastic poly bags, no virgin plastic mailers, nothing destined for landfill. The corn starch wrap breaks down in a home compost; the mailer goes in your normal paper recycling.

Are Flissie boxers plastic-free?

The packaging is — both the individual wrap and the outer mailer are plant-based and home-compostable or recyclable. The boxers themselves are 95% bamboo viscose with 5% elastane (a small amount of stretch fibre needed for fit and recovery). We've removed every piece of single-use plastic we can from the production and shipping chain.

Where are Flissie boxers manufactured and how do you ensure ethical labour?

Flissie boxers are designed in the UK and manufactured by a closed-loop production partner that holds OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification and meets ethical labour standards including fair wages, safe working conditions, and no child labour. We visit our manufacturing partners regularly and are working toward full B-Corp certification.

Returns & care

What's your return policy?

60-day return window on unworn pairs in their original sealed packaging. Free size swaps within that window — just email hello@flissie.com. Full refunds are also available within 60 days; return postage is at your cost.

How do I wash Flissie boxers?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours, inside out to preserve the dye. Use a gentle detergent — skip fabric softener as it coats bamboo fibres and reduces breathability. Air dry where possible; tumble drying is not recommended and will shorten fabric lifespan. Avoid bleach.

Buying

Why is the multi-pack cheaper per pair?

Lower per-unit packaging, shipping and admin costs let us pass on a real saving. A single pair is £20; the 7-pack works out to roughly £13 per pair — the same boxers, just better value when you stock up. Most customers buy a multi-pack backed by our 60 day guarantee.
