Are sizes consistent with pants sizes? Size 38 jeans, get size 38 (L) compression shorts?

If you have size 38 jeans, (Which I happen to have also) the large will work just fine! It does for me, anyway!

I got them in a 38 and they were a little small, all my other shorts ( the same size ) fit quite a bit looser. So for bigger guys i might go a size bigger.

The sizes run a little larger in my opinion. So if your a size 38 I would go for a 36 it will be more than enough.

I am a 38 waist, and I bought a large. The adjustable waist is at the limit, however -- so it will allow for me losing inches, but not "un-losing" them. If you are above a 38, I would go with the XL, as they are a snug fit.

i am a size 38 waist and i was able to wear the pants over my jeans. so i say XL

I am 6' 3" and bought the XL. They fit fine, not as tight as the L, and they go a little higher than I like. Will likely stick to toLarge going forward as I prefer the tighter fit. I don't compare various compression metrics.

The package for size L says 38-49". I don't know how accurate that is because I gave them away--we use the fit flex depends (that package says 38-50" which works well for my wife's 38" waist). What I would do on Amazon if there are doubts is order a small pack of each of two sizes and return what doesn't fit. Or, search on the web for free samples.

Thanks Martha. I like my clothes loose so cinch my jeans down to a 36/37. Do you think the XL is still the right size? What about length? Terry

I'm a straight up 38 waist and I ordered the 2XL. Fits perfectly. Just remember to tumble dry cool or line dry only - no high heat drying.

I say, if you want tight fit, go with small. A bit of room, then medium. *I wear waist 30-1 in jeans and got a small. It fits good. Hope that helps.

go to the sellers site-they have a specific size list there-shorts are awesome quality-but the sizes are smaller than normal us ones when doing letter sizes (L, XL, 3X) vs numbers.

I wear a ladies 9 and I got size large and they fit well. They are compression, so are supposed to be tight.

A compression of 15-20 medium would not be the same as a 20-50 large. Size depends on height from ankle to knee and diameter of calf and diameter of ankle. Compression is the tightness of the fabric and you should get what your doctor ordered.

I wear 34 in almost all pants and shorts. The size chart says medium is 32-34. I couldn't even get them on. A large is 35-37 and fits me perfectly. So, based on my experience, I would say order two inches larger than usual which means the XXL should work for you.

Probably defect... My husband wears a 32 waist in jeans, and he's had two pairs of these pants in a 32 waist that both fit the same... Just a bit roomier than a 32 jean. (He tried to go down to a 30, but that was much too snug.)

I ordered the size I wear in jeans. The pants give in the waist so I'd stick with my normal size

I wear 36" jeans and even at the smallest the "L" was too big (to mate wit the velcro) and I had to return for the medium. My best assumption is the large would go out to ~44" jeans with size 38" being the smallest.
