Need some advice. I recently bought a pair of size L undies and they were much, much, too small. The next week I bought a size XXL of the same brand and they were still too small. I am not a large-boned man. I'm 6 feet tall and about 165lbs. Waist is about 32-34 depending. Does anyone know what size that translates into here? 105? 110? I feel stupid wasting money like this.

100-105 is Large. 110 is XLarge.

Different brands have their own interpretation of what a "L" is. If I were you, I'd take the underwear out of the packaging and see for yourself. Best done at a large store like Emart. If you go into a small shop and start taking stuff out of the wrapper, the ajumma is going to steamroll you.

What you do here is go to the ajumma underwear store and pick up a pair of "unmentionables" and then point to yourself and say ok? Let the ajumma size u up. They are pretty good about it - unless they don't have your size and just lie to you so you'll buy something. Don't worry if they say something rude, like wah! so big or so fat or what a monster! That's just ajumma style.
