How to Choose the Right Size Silicone Pussy Panty for Your Body Type
Share
Sizing is the question that comes up most often before a first purchase — and the one that causes the most anxiety. The fear of ordering the wrong size, of the prosthetic not fitting correctly, of wasting money on something that doesn't work, is real and understandable.
This guide is designed to remove that anxiety. It covers how to measure correctly, how to interpret the measurements, how different body types affect sizing decisions, and what to do when you're between sizes. By the end, you should be able to choose your size with confidence.
One thing worth knowing upfront: Femmevee's platinum-grade liquid silicone has significantly more elasticity than standard silicone. This means the prosthetic accommodates a wider range of body types than a rigid sizing chart suggests. If you're between sizes, this elasticity is what makes the decision less critical than it might seem.
Step 1: Take Your Measurements
Two measurements determine your size: waist circumference and hip circumference. Both need to be accurate — a measurement taken over clothing or without a flexible tape measure will produce an incorrect result.
What You Need
- A flexible fabric tape measure (not a rigid ruler or metal tape)
- A mirror, or someone to help
- Form-fitting underwear or bare skin — not over clothing
How to Measure Your Waist
Your natural waist is the narrowest point of your torso — typically about 2–3 cm above your navel. This is not the same as your trouser waist size, which is usually measured lower.
- Stand upright with your feet together
- Exhale normally — don't hold your breath in or let it out completely
- Wrap the tape measure around your natural waist, keeping it parallel to the floor
- The tape should be snug but not compressing the skin — you should be able to slide one finger underneath
- Read the measurement at the point where the tape overlaps
How to Measure Your Hips
Your hip measurement is taken at the widest point of your hips and buttocks — typically 18–23 cm below your natural waist.
- Stand upright with your feet together
- Wrap the tape measure around the widest point of your hips and buttocks, keeping it parallel to the floor
- The tape should be snug but not compressing — you should be able to slide one finger underneath
- Read the measurement at the point where the tape overlaps
Measure twice. Measurement errors are common on the first attempt. Take each measurement twice and use the average if the two readings differ.
Step 2: Understand How Body Type Affects Sizing
Femmevee's sizing is based on female body proportions — which means the waist-to-hip ratio built into the sizing assumes a certain relationship between waist and hip measurements. Most wearers — femboys, crossdressers, trans women — have body proportions that differ from this baseline in specific ways. Understanding how your body type affects sizing helps you make a better decision.
Femboy Body Types
Femboys typically have a narrower hip-to-waist ratio than the female body the prosthetic is designed around — meaning the hips are proportionally narrower relative to the waist. This affects sizing in a specific way: the waist measurement and the hip measurement may point to different sizes.
When waist and hip measurements point to different sizes: size up. The prosthetic's platinum silicone elasticity accommodates a larger waist measurement more comfortably than a smaller hip measurement accommodates a larger hip. Sizing up and relying on the elasticity to accommodate the waist produces a better fit than sizing down and having the hip area too tight.
Crossdresser Body Types
Crossdressers typically have male-pattern body proportions — broader shoulders, narrower hips relative to waist, and a waist-to-hip ratio that differs from the female baseline. The hip measurement is often the limiting factor in sizing.
Prioritize your hip measurement when choosing a size. The prosthetic needs to sit correctly at the hips to stay in position during wear. If your hip measurement falls between sizes, size up. The waist area has more elasticity to accommodate variation than the hip area does.
For crossdressers who are active — dancing, extended outdoor wear, events — the harness style provides additional structural security that compensates for body proportion differences. See our crossdresser guide for more on style selection.
Trans Women on HRT
HRT changes body composition over time — fat redistribution toward the hips and thighs, changes in waist definition, changes in overall body shape. If you're on HRT, your measurements may be changing.
Size for your current body, not your pre-HRT body or your expected future body. The prosthetic fits best when sized for where your body is now. If your measurements change significantly over the course of HRT, reassess your size at that point. See our trans women's guide for more on HRT-related sizing considerations.
Taller and Shorter Body Types
Height affects where the prosthetic sits on the body and how the waistband falls. For taller wearers (above 180 cm), the prosthetic may sit slightly lower than intended — this is usually not a problem in practice, but it's worth knowing. For shorter wearers (below 160 cm), the prosthetic may sit slightly higher — again, usually not a problem, but high-waist clothing covers the waistband most effectively in this case.
Higher Body Weight
For wearers with higher body weight, the hip measurement is the primary sizing factor. Platinum silicone's elasticity accommodates a range of body shapes, but the hip measurement needs to fall within the size range for the prosthetic to sit correctly. If your hip measurement is at the upper end of a size range, size up.
Step 3: Use the Size Chart
Femmevee's size chart is based on waist and hip circumference measurements in centimeters. Find the row that matches your measurements — if your measurements fall in different rows, use the hip measurement as the primary guide and size up if needed.
| Size | Waist (cm) | Hip (cm) | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 63–68 | 86–91 | Slim build, narrower hips |
| M | 68–73 | 91–96 | Average build, standard proportions |
| L | 73–78 | 96–101 | Broader hips, crossdresser proportions |
| XL | 78–84 | 101–107 | Larger build, wider hip measurement |
Note: If your measurements fall between sizes, size up. Platinum silicone's elasticity accommodates the larger size more comfortably than the smaller size accommodates a larger body.
Step 4: The Between-Sizes Decision
Being between sizes is the most common sizing situation — and the one that causes the most uncertainty. Here's how to make the decision confidently.
When to Size Up
- Your hip measurement is at the upper end of a size range or between sizes
- Your waist and hip measurements point to different sizes
- You plan to wear for extended periods (6+ hours) — a slightly larger size is more comfortable for long wear
- You're a crossdresser with male-pattern proportions — the hip area needs room
- You're on HRT and your body is changing — size up to accommodate near-future changes
When to Size Down
- Your measurements are at the lower end of a size range
- You prefer a more secure, snug fit
- You're a femboy with a slim build and narrower proportions
The Elasticity Factor
Femmevee's platinum silicone has significantly more elasticity than standard silicone. This means a size M accommodates a wider range of bodies than a standard size M would suggest. If you're genuinely uncertain between two sizes, the elasticity of the platinum silicone means the larger size will fit more comfortably than you might expect — and the smaller size will be more restrictive than you might expect for extended wear.
Common Sizing Mistakes
Measuring Over Clothing
Measuring over clothing adds 1–3 cm to your measurements and produces an incorrect result. Always measure over bare skin or form-fitting underwear.
Using Trouser Size Instead of Waist Measurement
Trouser waist size is measured at a different point than the natural waist and is typically 3–5 cm larger than the natural waist measurement. Don't use your trouser size as your waist measurement.
Sizing for Your Ideal Body Rather Than Your Current Body
Size for the body you have now, not the body you're working toward. A prosthetic that's too small for your current body won't become comfortable as your body changes — it will just be uncomfortable now.
Ignoring the Hip Measurement
Many first-time buyers focus on the waist measurement and ignore the hip measurement. For most body types, the hip measurement is the more important of the two — it determines whether the prosthetic sits correctly and stays in position during wear.
Assuming Standard Sizing Applies
Femmevee's sizing is based on female body proportions. If you have male-pattern proportions — narrower hips relative to waist — standard sizing may not apply directly. Use the body type guidance above to adjust your sizing decision.
After You Receive Your Order: Fit Check
When your prosthetic arrives, do a fit check before wearing it for an extended session.
- Put the prosthetic on using the correct technique — see our step-by-step wearing guide
- Check that the waistband sits at your natural waist without digging in or rolling down
- Check that the hip area sits flush against your body without gaps or pulling
- Move around — walk, sit, bend — and check that the prosthetic stays in position
- Check the mirror: the silhouette should look natural, not pulled or bunched
Signs the size is correct: The waistband is snug but not uncomfortable. The prosthetic stays in position during movement. The silhouette looks natural in the mirror.
Signs you may need a different size: The waistband digs in uncomfortably (size up). The prosthetic slips or moves during normal movement (size down, or try the harness style). The hip area has visible gaps (size down).
Style Considerations That Affect Fit
One-Piece Pull-On Style
The one-piece style relies entirely on the elasticity of the platinum silicone to stay in position. Sizing accuracy matters more for this style — if you're between sizes, size up for the one-piece style.
Harness Style
The harness style has adjustable straps that provide additional structural security independent of the silicone's elasticity. This style is more forgiving of between-size situations — the straps can be adjusted to compensate for fit variations. If you're uncertain about sizing, the harness style gives you more adjustment options.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I'm between sizes. Which should I choose?
A: Size up. Femmevee's platinum silicone elasticity accommodates a larger size more comfortably than a smaller size accommodates a larger body. For extended wear, a slightly larger size is always more comfortable than a slightly smaller one.
Q: My waist and hip measurements point to different sizes. What do I do?
A: Use your hip measurement as the primary guide and size up if needed. The hip area determines whether the prosthetic sits correctly and stays in position. The waist area has more elasticity to accommodate variation.
Q: I have male-pattern proportions (narrower hips relative to waist). How does this affect sizing?
A: Prioritize your hip measurement. If your hip measurement falls between sizes, size up. Consider the harness style for additional security during wear — it compensates for body proportion differences better than the one-piece style.
Q: I'm on HRT and my body is changing. When should I reassess my size?
A: Reassess when your hip measurement changes by more than 3–4 cm from when you last sized. HRT-related fat redistribution typically affects the hips and thighs most significantly. See our trans women's guide for more on HRT-related sizing.
Q: Can I return or exchange if I choose the wrong size?
A: Check Femmevee's current return and exchange policy on the website. For hygiene reasons, returns of worn items are typically not accepted — which is why getting the size right before ordering matters. This guide is designed to help you do that.
Q: Does the size affect how the prosthetic looks under clothing?
A: A correctly sized prosthetic sits flush against the body and produces a natural silhouette. A prosthetic that's too small may pull or bunch, affecting the silhouette. A prosthetic that's too large may have visible gaps at the edges. Correct sizing is the foundation of a convincing presentation.
Q: I'm a larger build. Does Femmevee have options for me?
A: Yes. The XL size accommodates hip measurements up to 107 cm. Platinum silicone's elasticity means the XL size accommodates a range of larger builds. If your measurements exceed the XL range, contact Femmevee directly to discuss options.
Q: How is Femmevee's sizing different from other brands?
A: Femmevee's platinum silicone has significantly more elasticity than standard silicone used in other brands. This means each size accommodates a wider range of bodies than a standard sizing chart suggests. If you've found other brands' sizing to be restrictive, Femmevee's elasticity typically provides more comfort across a wider range of body types.
Get the Size Right, Get the Experience Right
Sizing is the foundation of everything else — comfort, presentation, confidence. A prosthetic that fits correctly stays in position, looks natural, and is comfortable for extended wear. A prosthetic that doesn't fit correctly is uncomfortable, moves during wear, and produces a silhouette that doesn't look right.
The good news: with accurate measurements and the guidance above, getting the size right is straightforward. Measure twice, use your hip measurement as the primary guide, size up when in doubt, and let Femmevee's platinum silicone elasticity do the rest.
