Pantie size on a male shape? - ???

Hips vs Waist size?
Brand variation?

Oddly (just a weird side issue):
What is actually in the stores around here is kind of hit and miss weird. They will have different sizes in a certain style/cut and next in totally different style other sizes in a different styles with some sizes missing completely. Is it normal to have to mail order panties because they are NOT in the stores?

Another issue is I have always purchased one size under what the label would indicate when buying male underwear.
