Overview size informations

Japanese standard sizes : S – XXL
S and XL : are not offered on some models. Size S is also not sold regulary at my webshop – but I can organize your your desired style and color is still available in Japan.

Some products (especially underwear, bikinis and costumes) are “one size fits all”, but these sizes are described in detail on the respective product pages.

Pharfaite and Sche/Mee swimsuits have almost the same sizechart as Asics and Mizuno.

The kind of material does not affect the sizes, as for example within REALISE. I have not noticed such a difference within PHARFAITE and SCHE/MEE.
The different cuts and styles also do not affect the sizes.

The two most important dimensions to choose the right size from are: first) the circumference of your buttocks (H: hips / cheeks) and second) your torso circumference (T: torso)!
If you are between two sizes, please use the following information about the swimsuit materials, to choose the right size.

Stretchlevel of the materials – decision support for sizes:

2Way EASY STRETCH : Stretch Level 4/5. This material has a high stretch level and can be stretched very well. You have space of ~ 2-3 cm upwards.
If you are at the border between two sizes, choose the bigger one for more comfort, or for the smaller one if you like it tight.

SSW – Super Shiny Wet : Stretch Level 3/5. This material has a good stretch level but also a good compression factor. You have space of ~ 1-2 cm upwards.
If you are at the border between two sizes, choose the bigger one for more comfort, or for the smaller one if you like it tight.

ITALIAN SHEER : Stretch Level 4/5. This material has a very high stretch level and can be stretched very well.
However, because these suits have a real small cut according to the stretchability of the material, they only have space of ~ 2-4 cm upwards.
If you are at the border between two sizes, choose the bigger one for more comfort, or for the smaller one if you like it tight.

SECONDSKIN : Stretch Level 4/5. This material has a very high stretch content and can be stretched very well.
However, because these suits have a real small cut according to the stretchability of the material, they only have space of ~ 2-4 cm upwards.

STRETCH JERSEY : Stretch Level 3/5. This material has a good stretch content and can still stretch something. You have space of ~ 1-2 cm upwards.
If you are at the border between two sizes, choose the bigger one for more comfort, or for the smaller one if you like it tight.

N99X-HL HAIRLINE METALLIC (rubberized) : Stretch Level 2.5 / 5. This material has a reasonable stretch level – but don´t expect too much.
Refer to size detail H (hips) always as measurement of the strongest part of your buttocks.
Overstretching will cause damage to the surface material and the seams. Hold strictly to the size chart.
If you are at the border between two sizes, choose the larger one. You have space of ~ 2-3 cm downwards (for an optimal fit).
